We study the structure of a simple dynamic optimization problem consisting of one state and one control variable, from a physicist's point of view. By using an analogy to a physical model, we study this system in the classical and quantum…
Every clock is a physical system and thereby ultimately quantum. A naturally arising question is how to describe time evolution relative to quantum clocks and, specifically, how the dynamics relative to different quantum clocks are related.…
The electromagnetic self-force equation of motion is known to be afflicted by the so-called runaway problem. A similar problem arises in the semiclassical Einstein's field equation and plagues the self-consistent semiclassical evolution of…
Recent developments in quantum physics make heavy use of so-called "quantum trajectories." Mathematically, this theory gives rise to "stochastic Schr\"odinger equations", that is, perturbation of Schr\"odinger-type equations under the form…
In this paper we study by probabilistic techniques the convergence of the value function for a two-scale, infinite-dimensional, stochastic controlled system as the ratio between the two evolution speeds diverges. The value function is…
Under unitary evolution, systems move gradually from state to state. An unstable atom has amplitude in its original state after many lifetimes ($\tau_L$). But in the laboratory, transitions seem to go instantaneously, as suggested by the…
We show that formulating the quantum time of arrival problem in a segment of the real line suggests rephrasing the quantum time of arrival problem to finding states that evolve to unitarily collapse at a given point at a definite time. For…
In this paper, we consider a stochastic differential equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion (fBm) and a Wiener process and having jumps. We prove that this equation has a unique solution and show that all its moments are finite.
We derive a non-linear version of the Feynman-Kac formula for the solutions of the vorticity equation in dimension 2 with space periodic boundary conditions. We prove the existence (global in time) and uniqueness for a stochastic terminal…
Quantum trajectories are Markov processes that describe the time-evolution of a quantum system undergoing continuous indirect measurement. Mathematically, they are defined as solutions of the so-called "Stochastic Schr\"odinger Equations",…
We construct the time-evolution for the second quantized Dirac equation subject to a smooth, compactly supported, time dependent electromagnetic potential and identify the degrees of freedom involved. Earlier works on this (e.g.…
We study linear time fractional diffusion equations in divergence form of time order less than one. It is merely assumed that the coefficients are measurable and bounded, and that they satisfy a uniform parabolicity condition. As the main…
It has been argued that it is incompatible to maintain unitary time-evolution for time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians when the metric operator is explicitly time-dependent. We demonstrate here that the time-dependent Dyson equation…
