Quantum mechanics suggests that nature is discrete, with one state per phase space volume $\hbar^{3N}$. This appears to contradict the idea that the state of an N-particle system can have infinite precision and is described by a set of…
A new model of quantum mechanics, Classical Quantum Mechanics, is based on the (nearly heretical) postulate that electrons are physical objects that obey classical physical laws. Indeed, ionization energies, excitation energies etc. are…

The quantum properties of solitons at one loop can be related to phase shifts of waves on the soliton background. These can be combined with heat kernel methods to calculate various parameters. The vacuum energy of a CP(1) soliton in 2+1…
