The $q$-deformed loop gravity framework was introduced as a canonical formalism for the Turaev-Viro model (with $\Lambda < 0$), allowing to quantize 3D Euclidean gravity with a (negative) cosmological constant using a quantum deformation of…

In spite of all {\bf no-go} theorems (e.g., von Neumann, Kochen and Specker,..., Bell,...) we constructed a realist basis of quantum mechanics. In our model both classical and quantum spaces b are rough images of the fundamental {\bf…

We introduce the notion of almost representations of Lie algebras and quantum tori, and establish an Ulam-stability type phenomenon: every irreducible almost representation is close to a genuine irreducible representation. As an…

We provide quantitative evidence for our previous conjecture which states an equivalence of the partition function of a 3d N=2 gauge theory on a duality wall and that of the SL(2,R) Chern-Simons theory on a mapping torus, for a class of…

Finite-dimensional Quantum Mechanics can be geometrically formulated as a proper classical-like Hamiltonian theory in a projective Hilbert space. The description of composite quantum systems within the geometric Hamiltonian framework is…

A correspondence is established between measure-preserving, ergodic dynamics of a classical harmonic oscillator and a quantum mechanical gauge theory on two-dimensional Minkowski space. This correspondence is realized through an isometric…

Quantization together with quantum dynamics can be simultaneously formulated as the problem of finding an appropriate flat connection on a Hilbert bundle over a contact manifold. Contact geometry treats time, generalized positions and…

An analysis of classical mechanics in a complex extension of phase space shows that a particle in such a space can behave in a way redolant of quantum mechanics; additional degrees of freedom permit 'tunnelling' without recourse to…

Let $(M,\tau)$ be a tracial von Neumann algebra with a separable predual and let $(\Omega, \mathbb{P})$ be a probability space. A bounded positive random linear operator on $L^1(M,\tau)$ is a map $\gamma : \Omega \times L^1(M,\tau) \to…

We report first steps towards elucidating the relationship between contextuality, measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC) and the non-classical logic of a topos associated with the computation. We show that, in a class of MBQC,…

New foundations for quantum logic and quantum spaces are constructed by merging algebraic quantum theory and topos theory. Interpreting Bohr's "doctrine of classical concepts" mathematically, given a quantum theory described by a…

We first compare the mathematical structure of quantum and classical mechanics when both are formulated in a C*-algebraic framework. By using finite von Neumann algebras, a quantum mechanical analogue of Liouville's theorem is then…

Using the recently developed groupoidal description of Schwinger's picture of Quantum Mechanics, a new approach to Dirac's fundamental question on the role of the Lagrangian in Quantum Mechanics is provided. It is shown that a function…

For a quantum observable $A_\hbar$ depending on a parameter $\hbar$ we define the notion ``$A_\hbar$ converges in the classical limit''. The limit is a function on phase space. Convergence is in norm in the sense that $A_\hbar\to0$ is…

The local geometry of the parameter space of a quantum system is described by the quantum metric tensor and the Berry curvature, which are two fundamental objects that play a crucial role in understanding geometrical aspects of condensed…

The geometry of the classical phase space C of a finite number of degrees of freedom determines the possible duality symmetries of the corresponding quantum mechanics. Under duality we understand the relativity of the notion of a quantum…

We consider the ergodic theory of plane rational maps that preserve the natural holomorphic volume form on the algebraic torus. Specifically we construct natural invariant probability measures for a large class of such maps by intersecting…

The Schwartz kernel of the multiplication operation on a quantum torus is shown to be the distributional boundary value of a classical multivariate theta function. The kernel satisfies a Schr\"odinger equation in which the role of time is…

If we admit that quantum mechanics (QM) is universal theory, then QM should contain also some description of classical mechanical systems. The presented text contains description of two different ways how the mathematical description of…

In this paper, we introduce quantum Demazure--Lusztig operators acting by ring automorphisms on the equivariant quantum cohomology of the Springer resolution. Our main application is a presentation of the torus-equivariant quantum…
