We pursue the view that quantum theory may be an emergent structure related to large space-time scales. In particular, we consider classical Hamiltonian systems in which the intrinsic proper time evolution parameter is related through a…

It is shown that the application of Lax-Phillips scattering theory to quantum mechanics provides a natural framework for the realization of the ideas of the Many-Hilbert-Space theory of Machida and Namiki to describe the development of…

Motivated by the Generalized Uncertainty Principle, covariance, and a minimum measurable time, we propose a deformation of the Heisenberg algebra and show that this leads to corrections to all quantum mechanical systems. We also demonstrate…

The treatment of time in relativity does not conform to that in quantum theory. In the context of quantum gravity this is called "the problem of time". A crucial difference is that time $t$ may be seen as an observable in relativity theory,…

In quantum physics, disturbance due to a measurement is not negligible. This requires the time parameter $t$ in the Schr\"odinger or Heisenberg equation to be considered differently from a time continuum of experimenter's clock $T$ on which…

We consider the relativistic statistical mechanics of an ensemble of $N$ events with motion in space-time parametrized by an invariant ``historical time'' $\tau .$ We generalize the approach of Yang and Yao, based on the Wigner distribution…

It is shown that the operator sum representation for non-Markovian dynamics and the Lindblad master equation in Markovian limit can be derived from a formal solution to quantum Liouville equation for a qubit system in the presence of…

We discuss the problem of time in quantum mechanics. In the traditional formulation time enters the model as a~parameter, not an observable. In our model time is a quantum observable as any other quantum quantity and it is also a component…

It is well-known that the Liouville equation of statistical mechanics is restricted to systems where the total number of particles (N) is fixed. In this paper, we show how the Liouville equation can be extended to systems where the number…

We consider a spin-boson Hamiltonian which is generalized such that the Hamiltonians for the system ($\hat{H}_{\cal S}$) and the interaction with the environment ($\hat{H}_{\rm int}$) do not commute with each other. Considering a…

Physical laws for elementary particles can be described by the quantum dynamics equation given a Hamiltonian. The solution are probability amplitudes in Hilbert space that evolve over time. A probability density function over position and…

We introduce a two-dimensional temporal framework in which time is represented by a compact manifold $T^2 = (t_1, t_2)$, with $t_1$ encoding classical causal structure and $t_2$ representing quantum coherence. This construction unifies…

One of the cornerstones in non--equilibrium statistical mechanics (NESM) is Liouville's theorem, a differential equation for the phase space probability $\rho(q,p; t)$. This is usually derived considering the flow in or out of a given…
