Classical and Quantum Gravity
Phenomenological studies of quantum gravity have proposed a modification of the commutator between position and momentum in quantum mechanics to introduce a minimal uncertainty in position in quantum mechanics. In the present work, we show the influence of space and time transformations in shaping quantities such as momentum, energy, and their rela...

The existence of a fundamental length scale in nature is a common prediction of distinct quantum gravity models. Discovery of such would profoundly change current knowledge of quantum phenomena and modifications to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle may be expected. Despite the attention given to this possibility in the past decades, there has be...

We present a new secondary school teaching method of quantum uncertainties of two-state systems. Intending to be a material teachable in schools, only two-state systems described by real numbers can be considered. An elementary argumentation based on school statistics leads to the identification of the uncertainty of a physical quantity in such sys...

We provide a semiclassical description of the double-slit experiment given by the momentous quantum mechanics. This formulation allows the study of quantum systems by an effective augmented Hamiltonian. The use of canonical variables enables us to comprise all the quantum information into a finite system of equations. We show the evolution of indiv...

We consider the generalization of a matrix integral with arbitrary spectral curve $\rho_0(E)$ to a 0+1D theory of matrix quantum mechanics (MQM). Using recent techniques for 1D quantum systems at large-$N$, we formulate a hydrodynamical effective theory for the eigenvalues. The result is a simple 2D free boson BCFT on a curved background, describin...

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics
Since its birth in the 1920s, quantum mechanics has motivated and advanced the analysis of linear operators. In this effort, it significantly contributed to the development of sophisticated mathematical tools in spectral theory. Many of these tools have also found their way into classical fluid mechanics and enabled elegant and effective solution s...

Quantum mechanics (QM) is one of the core subject areas in the undergraduate physics curriculum and it is usually taught within an abstract framework. Visualization of concepts, such as energy eigenfunctions and their spatial dependence probability density, helps students to gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of QM. The role played ...

This paper aims at using the functional renormalization group formalism to study the equilibrium states of a stochastic process described by a quench–disordered multilinear Langevin equation. Such an equation characterizes the evolution of a time-dependent N-vector q(t) = {q 1(t), ⋯ q N (t)} and is traditionally encountered in the dynamical descrip...

Despite being created through a fundamentally quantum-mechanical process, cosmological structures have not yet revealed any sign of genuine quantum correlations. Among the obstructions to the direct detection of quantum signatures in cosmology, environmental-induced decoherence is arguably one of the most inevitable. Yet, we discover a mechanism of...

In this review study, we ask ourselves if decoherence theory can solve the problems of measurement in quantum mechanics. After an introduction to decoherence theory, we present the problem of preferred basis, the problem of non-observability of interference and the problem of definite outcomes. We present Zurek's theory of environment induced super...
