The renewed interest in the foundations of quantum statistical mechanics in recent years has led us to study John von Neumann's 1929 article on the quantum ergodic theorem. We have found this almost forgotten article, which until now has…
We discuss the content and significance of John von Neumann's quantum ergodic theorem (QET) of 1929, a strong result arising from the mere mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. The QET is a precise formulation of what we call normal…
For any choice of initial state and weak assumptions about the Hamiltonian, large isolated quantum systems undergoing Schrodinger evolution spend most of their time in macroscopic superposition states. The result follows from von Neumann's…
We prove the mean ergodic theorem of von Neumann in a Hilbert-Kaplansky space. We also prove a multiparameter, modulated, subsequential and a weighted mean ergodic theorems in a Hilbert-Kaplansky space
We prove under certain assumptions that there exists a solution of the Schrodinger or the Heisenberg equation of motion generated by a linear operator H acting in some complex Hilbert space H, which may be unbounded, not symmetric, or not…
We investigate temporal evolution of von Neumann's entropy in exemplary quantum mechanical systems and show that it grows in systems evolving with incrementally increasing decoherence during scattering processes. We demonstrate that the…
This second part deals with applications of a general method to describe the quantum time evolution determined by a Schroedinger equation with time-dependent Hamiltonian. A new aspect of our approach is that we find all solutions starting…
Landau and Peierls wrote down the Hamiltonian of a simplified version of quantum electrodynamics in the particle-position representation. We present a multi-time version of their Schr\"odinger equation, which bears several advantages over…
We formulate the quantum mechanics of the solutions of a Klein-Gordon-type field equation: (\partial_t^2+D)\psi(t)=0, where D is a positive-definite operator acting in a Hilbert space \tilde H. We determine all the positive-definite inner…
Time flow has been embodied in time-dependent Schroedinger equation representing one of the foundations of quantum mechanics. Pauli's criticism (1933) has, however, indicated that the assumptions concerning representation Hilbert space have…
Intrinsic time quantum geometrodynamics resolved `the problem of time' and bridged the deep divide between quantum mechanics and canonical quantum gravity with a Schrodinger equation which describes evolution in intrinsic time variable. In…
Quantum geometrodynamics with intrinsic time development is presented. Paradigm shift from full space-time covariance to spatial diffeomorphism invariance yields a non-vanishing Hamiltonian, a resolution of the `problem of time', and…
Despite its long history, a canonical formulation of quantum ergodicity that applies to general classes of quantum dynamics, including driven systems, has not been fully established. Here we introduce and study a notion of quantum…
We explore connections between von Neumann's mean ergodic theorem and concepts of model theory. As an application we present a proof Wiener's generalization of von Neumann's result in which the group acting on the Hilbert space…
Power-law uniform (in the operator norm) convergence on vector subspaces with their own norms in von Neumann's ergodic theorem with continuous time is considered. All possible exponents of the considered power-law convergence are found; for…
We replace the usual Hamiltonian constraint of quantum gravity H|psi>=0 by a weaker one <psi|H|psi>=0. This allows |psi> to satisfy the time-dependent functional Schrodinger equation. In general, only the phase of the wave function appears…
A consistent classical and quantum relativistic mechanics can be constructed if Einstein's covariant time is considered as a dynamical variable. The evolution of a system is then parametrized by a universal invariant identified with…
An extension of standard quantum mechanics is proposed in which the Newtonian time appearing as a parameter in the unitary evolution operator is replaced with the time shown by a `quantum clock'. Such a clock is defined by the following…
This work concerns a study of the quantum mechanical extension of the work of Horwitz et al. [1] on the stability of classical Hamiltonian systems by geometrical methods. Simulations are carried out for several important examples, these…
Von Neumann's procedure is applied for quantization of General Relativity. We quantize the initial data of dynamical variables at the Planck epoch, where the Hubble parameter coincides with the Planck mass. These initial data are defined…
