Exploring the analogy between quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics we formulate an integrated version of the Quantropy functional [1]. With this prescription we compute the propagator associated to Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics in the…
The introduction of nonlinearities in the Schr\"odinger equation has been considered in the literature as an effective manner to describe the action of external environments or mean fields. Here, in particular, we explore the nonlinear…
In order to popularize the so called Schwinger's method we reconsider the Feynman propagator of two non-relativistic systems: a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and a charged harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field.…
For a subquadratic symbol $H$ on $\R^d\times\R^d = T^*(\R^d)$, the quantum propagator of the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation $i\hbar\frac{\partial\psi}{\partial t} = \hat H\psi$ is a Semiclassical Fourier-Integral Operator when $\hat…
The evolution equation for the propagator of the quantum system in the optical probability representation (optical propagator) is obtained. The relations between the optical and quantum propagators for the Schr\"odinger equation and the…
The phenomenology of quantum systems in curved space-times is among the most fascinating fields of physics, allowing --often at the gedankenexperiment level-- constraints on tentative theories of quantum gravity. Determining the dynamics of…
In the limit of large quantum excitations, the classical and quantum probability distributions for a Schr\"odinger equation can be compared by using the corresponding WKBJ solutions whose rapid oscillations are averaged. This result is…
A detailed exposition of highly efficient and accurate method for the propagation of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation is presented. The method is readily generalized to solve an arbitrary set of ODE's. The propagation is based on a…
We construct a family of Fourier Integral Operators, defined for arbitrary large times, representing a global parametrix for the Schr\"odinger propagator when the potential is quadratic at infinity. This construction is based on the…
In this paper, we find the quantum propagator for a general time-dependent quadratic Hamiltonian. The method is based on the properties of the propagator and the fact that the quantum propagator fulfills two independent partial differential…
We present a semiclassical analysis of the quantum propagator of a particle confined on one side by a steeply, monotonically rising potential. The models studied in detail have potentials proportional to $x^{\alpha}$ for $x>0$; the limit…
We consider semi-classical time evolution for the phase space Schr\"{o}dinger equation. We construct a semi-classical phase space propagator in terms of semi-classical wave packets by the Anisotropic Gaussian Approximation, related to the…
This work deals with Schr\"odinger equations with quadratic and sub-quadratic Hamiltonians perturbed by a potential. In particular we shall focus on bounded, but not necessarily smooth perturbations. We shall give a representation of such…
We consider Schr\"odinger equations with variable coefficients, and it is supposed to be a long-range type perturbation of the flat Laplacian on $R^n$. We characterize the wave front set of solutions to Schr\"odinger equations in terms of…
In this paper we solve for the quantum propagator of a general time dependent system quadratic in both position and momentum, linearly coupled to an infinite bath of harmonic oscillators. We work in the regime where the quantum optical…
We develop a modified semi-classical approach to the approximate solution of Schrodinger's equation for certain nonlinear quantum oscillations problems. At lowest order, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of the conventional semi-classical…
We derive a determinant formula for the WKB exponential of singularly perturbed Zakharov-Shabat system that corresponds to the semiclassical (zero dispersion) limit of the focusing Nonlinear Schr\" odinger equation. The derivation is based…
This paper is devoted to the analysis of propagation properties for the solutions of a one-dimensional non-local Schr\"odinger equation involving the fractional Laplace operator $(-d_x^2)^s$, $s\in(0,1)$. We adopt a classical WKB approach…
We consider the semi-classical limit of nonlinear Schrodinger equations in the presence of both a polynomial nonlinearity and thederivative in space of a polynomial nonlinearity. By working in a class of analytic initial data, we do not…
Instead of imposing the Schr\"{o}dinger equation to obtain the configuration space propagator $\csprop$ for a quantum mechanical nonlinear sigma model, we directly evaluate the phase space propagator $\psprop$ by expanding the exponent and…
