We reformulate quantum computation in terms of Lagrangian (sum-over-path) formalism, in contrast to the widely used Hamiltonian (unitary gate) formulation. We exemplify this formalism with some widely-studied models, including the standard…

The HLE theorem is proven for effective Lagrangians with arbitrary interactions of scalars, fermions, massless and massive vector bosons. This theorem states that the correct Hamiltonian path intergral formalism is equivalent to the…

Synchronization is an essential property of engineered and natural networked dynamical systems. The Kuramoto model of nonlinear synchronization has been widely studied in applications including entrainment of clock cells in brain networks…

Quantum information technology is one of the fastest growing sectors within information technology. By misleading interpretations of Bohr's definition of complementarity, the foundation of nonlocal correlations of entanglement is concealed…

Synchronization of an ensemble of oscillators is an emergent phenomenon present in several complex systems, ranging from social and physical to biological and technological systems. The most successful approach to describe how coherent…

In these notes we study synchronizability of dynamical processes defined on complex networks as well as its interplay with network topology. Building from a recent work by Barahona and Pecora [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 054101 (2002)], we use a…

Given an arbitrary Lagrangian function on \RR^d and a choice of classical path, one can try to define Feynman's path integral supported near the classical path as a formal power series parameterized by "Feynman diagrams," although these…

A "minimal" generalization of Quantum Mechanics is proposed, where the Lagrangian or the action functional is a mapping from the (classical) states of a system to the Lie algebra of a general compact Lie group, and the wave function takes…

Quantum tunneling in a many-body system is much more non-trivial than that in a one-body system. The most characteristic phenomenon is the mixed tunneling, which has been studied in many fields for decades. For instance, let us consider a…

The behavior of weakly coupled self-sustained oscillators can often be well described by phase equations. Here we use the paradigm of Kuramoto phase oscillators which are coupled in a network to calculate first and second order corrections…

We review some of the techniques used to study the dynamics of disordered systems subject to both quenched and fast (thermal) noise. Starting from the Martin-Siggia-Rose path integral formalism for a single variable stochastic dynamics, we…

A method for nonperturbative path integral calculation is proposed. Quantum mechanics as a simplest example of a quantum field theory is considered. All modes are decomposed into hard (with frequencies $\omega^2 >\omega^2_0$) and soft (with…

We present a rigorous mathematical framework establishing the equivalence of four classical notions of synchronization full phase-locking, phase-locking, frequency synchronization, and order parameter synchronization in generalized Kuramoto…

The path integral representation for a system of N non-relativistic particles on the plane, interacting through a Chern-Simons gauge field, is obtained from the operator formalism. An effective interaction between the particles appears,…

Path integral formulation of quantum mechanics (and also other equivalent formulations) depends on a Lagrangian and/or Hamiltonian function that is chosen to describe the underlying classical system. The arbitrariness presented in this…

The core of this thesis is the path-integral formulation of quantum field theory and its ability to describe strongly-coupled quantum many-body systems of finite size. Collective behaviors can be efficiently described in such systems…

We study synchronization in a two-node network built out of the smallest possible self-sustained oscillator: a spin 1. We first demonstrate that phase locking between the quantum oscillators can be achieved, even for limit cycles that…

Higher-order networks with multiway interactions can exhibit collective dynamical phenomena that are absent in traditional pairwise network models. However, analyzing such dynamics becomes computationally prohibitive as their state space…

A path-integral quantization method is proposed for dynamical systems whose classical equations of motion do \textit{not} necessarily follow from the action principle. The key new notion behind this quantization scheme is the Lagrange…

In quantum field theory the path integral is usually formulated in the wave picture, i.e., as a sum over field evolutions. This path integral is difficult to define rigorously because of analytic problems whose resolution may ultimately…
