It is well known that the Gaussian wave packet dynamics can be written in terms of Hamilton equations in the extended phase space that is twice as large as in the corresponding classical system. We construct several generalizations of this…
We develop a quantum model based on the correspondence between energy distribution between harmonic oscillators and the partition of an integer number. A proper choice of the interaction Hamiltonian acting within this manifold of states…
The field and temperature dependence of the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations spectrum is studied for an ideal two-dimensional compensated metal. It is shown that the chemical potential oscillations, involved in the frequency combinations…
We set up a real-time path integral to study the evolution of quantum systems driven in real-time completely by the coupling of the system to the environment. For specifically chosen interactions, this can be interpreted as measurements…
The path integral for higher-derivative quantum gravity with torsion is considered. Applying the methods of two-dimensional quantum gravity, this path integral is analyzed in the limit of conformally self-dual metrics. A scaling law for…
We propose a new approach to the quantization of the damped harmonic oscillator in the framework of deformation quantization. The quantization is performed in the Schr\"{o}dinger picture by a star-product induced by a modified "Poisson…
We investigate a thermally isolated quantum many-body system with an external control represented by a step protocol of a parameter. The propagator at each step of the parameter change is described by thermodynamic quantities under some…
Classical polarizable approaches have become the gold standard for simulating complex systems and processes in the condensed phase. These methods describe intrinsically dissipative polarizable media, requiring a formal definition within the…
It is shown that the classical damped harmonic oscillator belongs to the family of fourth-order Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillators. It follows that the solutions to the damped harmonic oscillator equation make the Pais-Uhlenbeck action stationary.…
We build a setup for path integral quantization through the Faddeev-Jackiw approach, extending it to include Grassmannian degrees of freedom, to be later implemented in a model of generalized electrodynamics that involves fourth-order…
The vast majority of the literature dealing with quantum dynamics is concerned with linear evolution of the wave function or the density matrix. A complete dynamical description requires a full understanding of the evolution of measured…
We describe how to construct and compute unambiguously path integrals for particles moving in a curved space, and how these path integrals can be used to calculate Feynman graphs and effective actions for various quantum field theories with…
In this contribution I discuss a path integral approach for the quantum motion on two-dimensional spaces according to Koenigs, for short ``Koenigs-Spaces''. Their construction is simple: One takes a Hamiltonian from two-dimensional flat…
This paper is a generalization of previous work on the use of classical canonical transformations to evaluate Hamiltonian path integrals for quantum mechanical systems. Relevant aspects of the Hamiltonian path integral and its measure are…
We propose a phase-space path integral formulation of noncommutative quantum mechanics, and prove its equivalence to the operatorial formulation. As an illustration, the partition function of a noncommutative two-dimensional harmonic…
A path-integral approach to quantum acoustics is developed here. In contrast to the commonly utilized particle perspective, this emerging field brings forth a long neglected but essential wave paradigm for lattice vibrations. Within the…
Protocols for observing gravity induced entanglement typically comprise the interaction of two particles prepared either in a superposition of two discrete paths, or in a continuously delocalized (harmonic oscillator) state of motion. An…
Reliable processing of quantum information is a milestone to achieve for the deployment of quantum technologies. Uncontrolled, out-of-equilibrium sources of decoherence need to be characterized in detail for designing the control of quantum…
Expanding upon previous work, using the path-integral formalism we derive expressions for the one-particle reduced density matrix and the two-point correlation function for a quadratic system of bosons that interact through a general class…
Representations of propagators by means of path integrals over velocities are discussed both in nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics. It is shown that all the propagators can only be expressed through bosonic path integrals…
