States supported by chaotic open quantum systems fall into two categories: a majority showing instantaneous ballistic decay, and a set of quantum resonances of classically vanishing support in phase space. We present a theory describing…
We consider an inverted harmonic oscillator in the space $L^{2} (\mathbb{S})$ of square-integrable functions on the circle $\mathbb{S}$ and compute its density of states employing the stationary phase approximation. Our computation is based…
In quantum mechanical experiments one distinguishes between the state of an experimental system and an observable measured in it. Heuristically, the distinction between states and observables is also suggested in scattering theory or when…
Unitary representations of the Galilei group are studied in phase space, in order to describe classical and quantum systems. Conditions to write in general form the generator of time translation and Lagrangians in phase space are then…
We consider semigroups of operators for hierarchies of evolution equations of large particle systems, namely, of the dual BBGKY hierarchy for marginal observables and the BBGKY hierarchy for marginal distribution functions. We establish…
Non-commutative spacetime and quantum groups have been argued to capture non-classical features of spacetime and its symmetries in the low-energy limit of quantum gravity. In this letter, we show that employing the $SU_q(2)$ quantum group…
We present a detailed non-perturbative analysis of the time-evolution of a well-known quantum-mechanical system - a particle between potential walls - describing the decay of unstable states. For sufficiently high barriers, corresponding to…

Stable states (particles), ghosts and unstables states (particles) are discussed with respect to the time representations involved, their unitary groups and the induced Hilbert spaces. Unstable particles with their decay channels are…

Sturm-Liouville oscillation theory is studied for Jacobi operators with block entries given by covariant operators on an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. It is shown that the integrated density of states of the Jacobi operator is…
Quantum transitions are described semiclassically as motions of systems along (complex) trajectories. We consider the cases when the semiclassical trajectories are unstable and find that durations of the corresponding transitions are large.…
Klauder's recent generalization of the harmonic oscillator coherent states [J. Phys. A 29, L293 (1996)] is applicable only in non-degenerate systems, requiring some additional structure if applied to systems with degeneracies. The author…
The semiclassical propagation of spin coherent states is considered in complex phase space. For two time-independent systems we find the appropriate classical trajectories and show that their combined contributions are able to describe…
To characterize the generic behavior of open quantum systems, we consider random, purely dissipative Liouvillians with a notion of locality. We find that the positivity of the map implies a sharp separation of the relaxation timescales…
We study spectral subspaces of the Sturm-Liouville operator $f \mapsto -(pf')'$ on $\mathbb{R}$, where $p$ is a positive, piecewise constant function. Functions in these subspaces can be thought of as having a local bandwidth determined by…
The Liouville theorem is a fundamental concept in understanding the properties of systems that adhere to Hamilton's equations. However, the traditional notion of the theorem may not always apply. Specifically, when the entropy gradient in…
Markovian master equations, often called Liouvillians or Lindbladians, are used to describe decay and decoherence of a quantum system induced by that system's environment. While a natural environment is detrimental to fragile quantum…

We consider non-local perturbations $\Delta^\psi_G$ of sub-Laplacians on a step $2$ Carnot group $G$. The perturbations are by translation-invariant non-local operators acting along the vertical directions in $G$. We use harmonic analysis…
