I propose a new and direct connection between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics where I derive the quantum mechanical propagator from a variational principle. This variational principle is Hamilton's modified principle generalized…

Stochastic quantization provides a connection between quantum field theory and statistical mechanics, with applications especially in gauge field theories. Euclidean quantum field theory is viewed as the equilibrium limit of a statistical…

Canonical formulation of quantum field theory on the Light Front (LF) is reviewed. The problem of constructing the LF Hamiltonian which gives the theory equivalent to original Lorentz and gauge invariant one is considered. We describe…

In this paper, we show how to use canonical perturbation theory for dissipative dynamical systems capable of showing limit cycle oscillations. Thus, our work surmounts the hitherto perceived barrier for canonical perturbation theory that it…

The theory of quantum optomechanics is reconstructed from first principles by finding a Lagrangian from light's equation of motion and then proceeding to the Hamiltonian. The nonlinear terms, including the quadratic and higher-order…

We demonstrate in theory and experiment the strict equivalence between nonclassical polarization and the entanglement of indistinguishable photons, thereby unifying these two phenomena that appear dissimilar at first sight. This allows us…

Electromagnetism becomes a nonlinear theory having (effective) photon-photon interactions due at least to electron-positron fluctuations in the vacuum. We discuss the consequences of the nonlinearity for the force felt by a charge probe…

A nonperturbative quantization procedure based on a nonassociative decomposition of quantum field operators on nonassociative constituents is considered. It is shown that such approach gives rise to quantum corrections by calculations of…

We discuss an alternative method to mass renormalize a quantum field Hamiltonian based on a requirement that the vacuum and single-particle sectors are not self-scattering. We illustrate the feasibility of this method for the concrete…

We study cosmological perturbation theory with scalar field and pressureless dust in the Hamiltonian formulation, with the dust field chosen as a matter-time gauge. The corresponding canonical action describes the dynamics of the scalar…

A theory of non-unitary-invertible as well as unitary canonical transformations is formulated in the context of Weyl's phase space representations. That all quantum canonical transformations without an explicit $\hbar$ dependence are also…

It is shown that the recently proposed quantum analogue of classical energy equipartition theorem for two paradigmatic, exactly solved models (i.e., a free Brownian particle and a dissipative harmonic oscillator) also holds true for all…

We discuss the intimate connection between the chaotic dynamics of a classical field theory and the instability of the one-loop effective action of the associated quantum field theory. Using the example of massless scalar electrodynamics,…

We develop a new systematic approach to quantum field theory that is designed to lead to physical states that rapidly converge in an expansion in free-particle Fock-space sectors. To make this possible, we use light-front field theory to…

The Hamiltonian approach to the quantum field theory is considered. Since there are additional difficulties such as the Haag theorem and Stueckelberg divergences, renormalization of the time-dependent dynamical quantum field theory is much…

Incompatibility between conjugate variables and complementary pictures comes in two kinds, exclusive of one another. The first kind is unconditional, and the second conditional on quantum's indivisibility. We employ this distinction to…

Finite resolution quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements allow a determination of light field properties while preserving some of the original quantum coherence of the input state. It is thus possible to measure correlations between the…

Optomagnetics emerges as a growing field of research cross-linking optics, magnetism and material science. Here, we provide a microscopic quantum mechanical and a macroscopic classical models to describe optomagnetic effects from nonlinear…

We revisit the nonrelativistic problem of a bound, charged particle subject to the random zero-point radiation field (ZPF), with the purpose of revealing the mechanism that takes it from the initially classical description to the final…

Any canonical quantum theory can be understood to arise from the compatibility of the statistical geometry of distinguishable observations with the canonical Poisson structure of Hamiltonian dynamics. This geometric perspective offers a…
