Quantum electrodynamics near a boundary is investigated by considering the inertial mass shift of an electron near a dielectric or conducting surface. We show that in all tractable cases the shift can be written in terms of integrals over…
We study a quantum mechanical system consisting of up to three identical dipoles confined to move along a helical shaped trap. The long-range interactions between particles confined to move in this one dimension leads to an interesting…
An exact analytic solution is obtained for a uniformly expanding, neutral, infinitely conducting plasma sphere in an external dipole magnetic field. The electrodynamical aspects related to the radiation and transformation of energy were…
The behavior of the quantum potential is studied for a particle in a linear and a harmonic potential by means of an extended phase space technique. This is done by obtaining an expression for the quantum potential in momentum space…
We investigate a one-dimensional quantum system with a self-similar arrangement of delta-function potential barriers, exhibiting discrete scale invariance. The singular potential induces kinematically enforced symmetry breaking at $x=0$,…
Discrepancies between theory and recent qBounce data have prompted renewed scrutiny of how boundary conditions are implemented for ultracold neutrons bouncing above a mirror in Earth's gravity. We apply the theory of self-adjoint extensions…
The physical origin is investigated of Robin boundary conditions for wave functions at an infinite reflecting wall. We consider both Schr\"odinger and phase-space quantum mechanics (a.k.a. deformation quantization), for this simple example…
We study some aspects of the quantum theory of a charged particle moving in a time-independent, uni-directional magnetic field. When the field is uniform, we make a few clarifying remarks on the use of angular momentum eigenstates and…
Quantum mechanics in the presence of $\delta$-function potentials is known to be plagued by UV divergencies which result from the singular nature of the potentials in question. The standard method for dealing with these divergencies is by…
At the lower edge of the energy continuum the birth of an isolated quantum bound state is studied as caused by an infinitesimally small change of the interaction. In our model a single, asymptotically free massive quantum particle is…
It is known that the momentum operator canonically conjugated to the position operator for a particle moving in some bounded interval of the line {(with Dirichlet boundary conditions) is not essentially self-adjoint}: it has a continuous…
We consider the dynamics of point particles which are confined to a bounded, possibly nonconvex domain $\Omega$. Collisions with the boundary are described as purely elastic collisions. This turns the description of the particle dynamics…
We show how to use boundary conditions to drive the evolution on a Quantum Mechanical system. We will see how this problem can be expressed in terms of a time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation. In particular we will need the theory of…
Topological quantum phases of matter are characterized by an intimate relationship between the Hamiltonian dynamics away from the edges and the appearance of bound states localized at the edges of the system. Elucidating this correspondence…
We examine the bound state and scattering problem of a spin-one-half particle undergone to an Aharonov-Bohm potential in a conical space in the nonrelativistic limit. The crucial problem of the \delta-function singularity coming from the…
We consider a free quantum particle in one dimension whose mass profile exhibits jump discontinuities. The corresponding Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint realisation of the kinetic-energy operator, with the specific realisation determined by…
In a two-dimensional world a free quantum particle of vanishing angular momentum experiences an attractive force. This force originates from a modification of the classical centrifugal force due to the wave nature of the particle. For…
We revisit the scattering of quantum test particles on the conical $(2+1)$-dimensional spacetime and find the scatteting amplitude as a function of the boundary conditions imposed at the appex of the cone. We show that the boundary…
The detailed study of a quantum free particle on a pointed plane is performed. It is shown that there is no problem with a mysterious ``quantum anticentrifugal force" acting on a free particle on a plane discussed in a very recent paper: M.…
We analyze the frictionless motion of a point-like particle that slides under gravity on an inverted conical surface. This motion is studied for arbitrary initial conditions and a general relation, valid within 13%, between the periods of…
