A consistent physical theory of quantum mechanics can be built on a complex Hamiltonian that is not Hermitian but instead satisfies the physical condition of space-time reflection symmetry (PT symmetry). Thus, there are infinitely many new…
The simulation of quantum systems has been a key aim of quantum technologies for decades, and the generalisation to open systems is necessary to include physically realistic systems. We introduce an approach for quantum simulations of open…
For a non-relativistic particle subject to a Hamiltonian that is quadratic in position and momentum, with coefficients that may vary with time, it is shown that the effect of the linear terms in the Hamiltonian is just a spatial translation…
The quantum measurement axiom dictates that physical observables and in particular the Hamiltonian must be diagonalizable and have a real spectrum. For a time-independent Hamiltonian (with a discrete spectrum) these conditions ensure the…

We study analytically as well as numerically the dynamics of a quantum map near a quantum resonance of an order q. The map is embedded into a continuous unitary transformation generated by a time-independent quasi-Hamiltonian. Such a…
Given a fixed initial state, a desired Hamiltonian, and an amount of time, we provide a complete characterization of the set of Hamiltonians which perform the same action as the desired Hamiltonian on the state of interest. An example is…
Long-range effective methods are ubiquitous in physics and in quantum theory, in particular. Furthermore, the reliability of such methods is higher when the nature of short-ranged interactions need not be modeled explicitly. This may be…
Standandard Hamiltonian mechanics in its homogeneous formulation is applied to the study of discontinuities representing rapid changes of Hamiltonians. Different formulations of Hamiltonian mechanics are reviewed. An original representation…

Advancing quantum technologies requires precise and robust coherent control of quantum systems. Robust higher-order Hamiltonian engineering is essential for high-precision control and for accessing effective dynamics absent at zeroth order.…
We study the resonance phenomena for time periodic perturbations of a Hamiltonian $H$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(\mathbb R ^d)$. Here, resonances are characterized in terms of time behavior of the survival probability. Our approach uses the…

Trajectories of a Bohmian particle confined in time-dependent cylindrical and spherical traps are computed for both contracting and expanding boxes. Quantum effective force is considered in arbitrary directions. It is seen that in contrast…
We demonstrate that a triangular optical lattice of two atomic species, bosonic or fermionic, can be employed to generate a variety of novel spin-1/2 Hamiltonians. These include effective three-spin interactions resulting from the…
