Our account of the problem of the classical limit of quantum mechanics involves two elements. The first one is self-induced decoherence, conceived as a process that depends on the own dynamics of a closed quantum system governed by a…
Feynman's path integral formulation arose from his attempt to incorporate the Lagrangian framework into quantum mechanics, offering what he regarded as a more fundamental perspective than the Hamiltonian approach, particularly in the…
We formulate quantum mechanics on SO(3) using a non-commutative dual space representation for the quantum states, inspired by recent work in quantum gravity. The new non-commutative variables have a clear connection to the corresponding…
Feynman path integrals are now a standard tool in quantum physics and their use in differential geometry leads to new mathematical insights. A logical treatment of quantum phenomena seems to require a sustained mathematical analysis of path…
We continue in this paper our program of rederiving all quantum mechanical formalism from the classical one. We now turn our attention to the derivation of the second quantized equations, both for integral and half-integral spins. We then…
Input-output theory is a well-known tool in quantum optics and ubiquitous in the description of quantum systems probed by light. Owing to the generality of the setup it describes, the theory finds application in a wide variety of…
We consider the problem of constrained motion along a conic path under a given external potential function. The model is described as a second-class system capturing the behavior of a certain class of specific quantum field theories. By…
Feynman's path integral approach is to sum over all possible spatio-temporal paths to reproduce the quantum wave function and the corresponding time evolution, which has enormous potential to reveal quantum processes in classical view.…
Fourier expansion of the integrand in the path integral formula for the partition function of quantum systems leads to a deterministic expression which, though still quite complex, is easier to process than the original functional integral.…
We consider Euclidean path integrals with higher derivative actions, including those that depend quadratically on acceleration, velocity and position. Such path integrals arise naturally in the study of stiff polymers, membranes with…
I consider the case of two interacting scalar fields, \phi and \psi, and use the path integral formalism in order to treat the first classically and the second quantum-mechanically. I derive the Feynman rules and the resulting equation of…
A path integral method, combined with atomistic spin dynamics simulations, has been developed to calculate thermal quantum expectation values using a classical approach. In this study, we show how to treat Hamiltonians with non-linear…
The paper develops the idea that the dynamics of both classical and quantum processes is time reversible. It is shown how this classical analogy allows one to define the measure for the path integral in quantum mechanics.
Using a theorem of partial differential equations, we present a general way of deriving the conserved quantities associated with a given classical point mechanical system, denoted by its Hamiltonian. Some simple examples are given to…
In the framework of 't Hooft's quantization proposal, we show how to obtain from the composite system of two classical Bateman's oscillators a quantum isotonic oscillator. In a specific range of parameters, such a system can be interpreted…
We introduce a transformation of the quantum phase $S'=S+\frac{\hbar}{2}\log\rho$, which converts the deterministic equations of quantum mechanics into the Lagrangian reference frame of stochastic particles. We show that the quantum…
In this paper we consider a generalized classical mechanics with fractional derivatives. The generalization is based on the time-clock randomization of momenta and coordinates taken from the conventional phase space. The fractional…
We derive two path integral estimators for the derivative of the quantum mechanical potential of mean force (PMF), which may be numerically integrated to yield the PMF. For the first estimator, we perform the differentiation on the exact…
We show that the dynamics of a closed quantum system obeys the Hamilton variation principle. Even though quantum particles lack well-defined trajectories, their evolution in the Husimi representation can be treated as a flow of…
Using the generalized coherent states we argue that the path integral formulae for $SU(2)$ and $SU(1,1)$ (in the discrete series) are WKB exact,if the starting point is expressed as the trace of $e^{-iT\hat H}$ with $\hat H$ being given by…
