We present an extension of a previously developed method employing the formalism of the fractional derivatives to solve new classes of integral equations. This method uses different forms of integral operators that generalizes the…
We study the quantum evolution under the combined action of the exponentials of two not necessarily commuting operators. We consider the limit in which the two evolutions alternate at infinite frequency. This case appears in a plethora of…
Implementing general functions of operators is a powerful tool in quantum computation. It can be used as the basis for a variety of quantum algorithms including matrix inversion, real and imaginary-time evolution, and matrix powers. Quantum…
All covariant time operators with normalized probability distribution are derived. Symmetry criteria are invoked to arrive at a unique expression for a given Hamiltonian. As an application, a well known result for the arrival time…
An extension of the adiabatic factorization of the time evolution operator is studied for spin in a general time varying magnetic field $B(t)$. When $B(t)$ changes adiabatically, such a factorization reduces to the product of the geometric…
Using Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff relations, the squeeze and harmonic-oscillator time-displacement operators are given in the form $\exp[\delta I] \exp[\alpha (x^2)]\exp[\beta(x\partial)] \exp[\gamma (\partial)^2]$, where $\alpha$, $\beta$,…
The quantum mechanical expression relating two commuting operators is reformulated such that the power method (also called method of moments) for iteratively calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors becomes applicable. The new iterative…
The problem of efficient multiplication of large numbers has been a long-standing challenge in classical computation and has been extensively studied for centuries. It appears that the existing classical algorithms are close to their…
We present a decomposition formula for $U_n$, an integral of time-ordered products of operators, in terms of sums of products of the more primitive quantities $C_m$, which are the integrals of time-ordered commutators of the same operators.…
The failure of conventional quantum theory to recognize time as an observable and to admit time operators is addressed. Instead of focusing on the existence of a time operator for a given Hamiltonian, we emphasize the role of the…
We consider the wave propagating in the Einstein & de Sitter spacetime. The covariant d'Alembert's operator in the Einstein & de Sitter spacetime belongs to the family of the non-Fuchsian partial differential operators. We introduce the…
The extension problem asks whether positive semi-definite functions on a symmetric unital subset of a discrete group can be extended to positive semi-definite functions on the whole group. It has been known at least since the work of Rudin…
The finite-element approach to lattice field theory is both highly accurate (relative errors $\sim1/N^2$, where $N$ is the number of lattice points) and exactly unitary (in the sense that canonical commutation relations are exactly…
Here we follow the basic analysis that is common for real and complex variables and find how it can be applied to a quaternionic variable. Non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses obstacles for the usual manipulations; but we show…
We extend results of Caffarelli--Silvestre and Stinga--Torrea regarding a characterization of fractional powers of differential operators via an extension problem. Our results apply to generators of integrated families of operators, in…
By taking the Weyl equation with external electro-magnetic potentials as the simplest representative for a system of PDOs, we give a new method of treating non-commutativity of coefficients matrices. More precisely, we construct a Fourier…
We propose a prescription to quantize classical monomials in terms of symmetric and ordered expansions of non-commuting operators of a bosonic theory. As a direct application of such quantization rules, we quantize a classically time…
For any Dirac theory of quantum gravity governed by a set of well-defined quantum constraints, we discover a universal formula for the exact form of the evolution Hamiltonian operator in a variable quantum reference frame of our…
