The Heisenberg picture of the minisuperspace model is considered. The suggested quantization scheme interprets all the observables including the Universe scale factor as the (quasi)Heisenberg operators. The operators arise as a result of…
In this work, a new ansatz is introduced to make the calculations of the metric operator in Pseudo-Hermitian field theory simpler. The idea is to assume that the metric operator is not only a functional of the field operators $\phi$ and its…
We study the issue of simultaneous estimation of several phase shifts induced by commuting operators on a quantum state. We derive the optimal positive operator-valued measure corresponding to the multiple-phase estimation. In particular,…
In this note, we develop a framework to describe open quantum systems in the Heisenberg picture, i.e., via time evolving operator algebras. We point out the incompleteness of the previous proposals in this regard. We argue that a complete…
Numerical range of a Hermitian operator X is defined as the set of all possible expectation values of this observable among a normalized quantum state. We analyze a modification of this definition in which the expectation value is taken…
We investigate quasi-hermitian quantum mechanics in phase space using standard deformation quantization methods: Groenewold star products and Wigner transforms. We focus on imaginary Liouville theory as a representative example where exact…
We analyze the Heisenberg limit on phase estimation for Gaussian states. In the analysis, no reference to a phase operator is made. We prove that the squeezed vacuum state is the most sensitive for a given average photon number. We provide…
In this paper I argue against Carcassi, Calderon, and Aidala's recent claim that the Hilbert spaces are unphysical and should be replaced with the Schwartz spaces in quantum mechanics, since Hilbert spaces include states with infinite…
A non-Hermitian operator $H$ defined in a Hilbert space with inner product $\langle\cdot|\cdot\rangle$ may serve as the Hamiltonian for a unitary quantum system, if it is $\eta$-pseudo-Hermitian for a metric operator (positive-definite…
The non-Hermitian extension of quasicrystals (QC) are highly tunable system for exploring novel material phases. While extended-localized phase transitions have been observed in one dimension, quantum phase transition in higher dimensions…
In an amended version of non-Hermitian interaction picture we propose to work with the states $\psi(t)$ in a dyadic representation. The control of evolution via two conjugate Schr\"{o}diner equations then renders the usual necessity of the…
The non-Hermitian Schr\"odinger equation is re-expressed generally in the form of Hamilton's canonical equation without any approximation. Its quantization called non-Hermitian quantum field theory is discussed. By virtue of the canonical…
We derive a systematic high-frequency expansion for the effective Hamiltonian and the micromotion operator of periodically driven quantum systems. Our approach is based on the block diagonalization of the quasienergy operator in the…
Completely positive quantum operations are frequently discussed in the contexts of statistical mechanics and quantum information. They are customarily given by maps forming positive operator-values measures. To intuitively understand…
Phase spaces as given by the Wigner distribution function provide a natural description of infinite-dimensional quantum systems. They are an important tool in quantum optics and have been widely applied in the context of time-frequency…
We describe a broad class of bounded non-periodic potentials in one-dimensional stationary quantum mechanics having the same spectral properties as periodic potentials. The spectrum of the corresponding Schroedinger operator consists of a…
We study ordinal-indexed, multi-layer iterations of bounded operator transforms and prove convergence to spectral/ergodic projections under functional-calculus hypotheses. For normal operators on Hilbert space and polynomial or holomorphic…
We introduce phase operators associated with the algebra su(3), which is the appropriate tool to describe three-level systems. The rather unusual properties of this phase are caused by the small dimension of the system and are explored in…
We give an explicit characterization of the most general quasi-Hermitian operator H, the associated metric operators \eta_+, and \eta_+-pseudo-Hermitian operators acting in two-dimensional complex Euclidean space C^2. These operators…
The moment operators of a semispectral measure having the structure of the convolution of a positive measure and a semispectral measure are studied, with paying attention to the natural domains of these unbounded operators. The results are…
