In this article, we study a class of non-selfadjoint Schr{\"o}dinger operators H which are perturbation of some model operator H 0 satisfying a weighted coercive assumption. For the model operator H 0 , we prove that the derivatives of the…

It has been recently shown that if $K$ is a sesqui-analytic scalar valued non-negative definite kernel on a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^m$, then the function $\big(K^2\partial_i\bar{\partial}_j\log K\big )_{i,j=1}^ m,$ is also a…

We approach uncertainty principles of Cowling-Price-Heis-\\enberg-type as a variational principle on modulation spaces. In our discussion we are naturally led to compact localization operators with symbols in modulation spaces. The optimal…

What does it take for real-deterministic c-valued (i.e., classical, commuting) variables to comply with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle? Here, we construct a class of real-deterministic c-valued variables out of the weak values…

We study the behavior of the limit of the spectrum of a non self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville operator with analytic potential as the semi-classical parameter $h\to 0$. We get a good description of the spectrum and limit spectrum near $\infty$.…

In this paper we discuss some aspects of the Heisenberg uncertainty relation, mostly from the point of view of non self-adjoint operators. Some equivalence results, and some refinements of the inequality, are deduced, and some relevant…

The spectral properties of the Frobenius-Perron operator of one-dimensional maps are studied when approaching a weakly intermittent situation. Numerical investigation of a particular family of maps shows that the spectrum becomes extremely…

We propose that the constants of Nature we observe (which appear as parameters in the classical action) are quantum observables in a kinematical Hilbert space. When all of these observables commute, our proposal differs little from the…

We strengthen and generalise a result of Kirsch and Simon on the behaviour of the function $N_L(E)$, the number of bound states of the operator $L = \Delta+V$ in $\R^d$ below $-E$. Here $V$ is a bounded potential behaving asymptotically…

In this note we consider a one-dimensional quantum mechanical particle constrained by a parabolic well perturbed by a Gaussian potential. As the related Birman-Schwinger operator is trace class, the Fredholm determinant can be exploited in…

We study spectral instability of steady states to the linearized 2D Euler equations on the torus written in vorticity form via certain Birman-Schwinger type operators $K_{\lambda}(\mu)$ and their associated 2-modified perturbation…

Extending a recent result by Frank and Lieb, we show an entropic uncertainty principle for mixed states in a Hilbert space relatively to pairs of positive operator valued measures that are independent in some sense. This yields…

Uncertainty relations between two general non-commuting self-adjoint operators are derived in a Krein space. All of these relations involve a Krein space induced fundamental symmetry operator, $J$, while some of these generalized relations…

On finite dimensional spaces, it is apparent that an operator is the product of two positive operators if and only if it is similar to a positive operator. Here, the class ${\mathcal L}^{+2}$ of bounded operators on separable infinite…

In quantum theory on curved backgrounds, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is usually discussed in terms of ensemble variances and flat-space commutators. Here we take a different, preparation-based viewpoint tailored to sharp position…

We introduce a measure of decoherence for a class of density operators. For Gaussian density operators in dimension one it coincides with an index used by Morikawa (1990). Spatial decoherence rates are derived for three large classes of the…

We establish eigenfunctions estimates, in the semi-classical regime, for critical energy levels associated to an isolated singularity. For Schr\"odinger operators, the asymptotic repartition of eigenvectors is the same as in the regular…

Schroedinger operators with certain Gaussian random potentials in multi-dimensional Euclidean space possess almost surely an absolutely continuous integrated density of states and no absolutely continuous spectrum at sufficiently low…

The approximations of classical mechanics resulting from quantum mechanics are richer than a correspondence of classical dynamical variables with self-adjoint Hilbert space operators. Assertion that classical dynamic variables correspond to…

Gaussian quantum Markov semigroups are the natural non-commutative extension of classical Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroups. They arise in open quantum systems of bosons where canonical non-commuting random variables of positions and momenta…
