Mutually unbiased measurements in finite dimensions

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2014
We generalize the concept of mutually unbiased bases (MUB) to measurements which are not necessarily described by rank one projectors. As such, these measurements can be a useful tool to study the long-standing problem of the existence of MUB.

Deriving robust noncontextuality inequalities from algebraic proofs of the Kochen–Specker theorem: the Peres–Mermin square

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2017
When a measurement is compatible with each of two other measurements that are incompatible with one another, these define distinct contexts for the given measurement. The Kochen–Specker theorem rules out models of quantum theory that satisfy a particular

Energy and Wave function Analysis on Harmonic Oscillator Under Simultaneous Non-Hermitian Transformations of Co-ordinate and Momentum: Iso-spectral case

open access: yesOpen Physics, 2016
We present a complete energy and wavefunction analysis of a Harmonic oscillator with simultaneous non-hermitian transformations of co-ordinate (x→(x+iλp)(1+βλ))$(x \rightarrow \frac{(x + i\lambda p)}{\sqrt{(1+\beta \lambda)}})$ and momentum (p→(p+iβx)(1 ...

Exact Green’S Function for 2D Dirac Oscillator in Constant Magnetic Field

open access: yes, 2007
The propagator of two-dimensional Dirac oscillator in the presence of a constant magnetic field is presented by means of path integrals, where the spin degree-of-freedom is described by odd Grassmannian variables and the gauge invariant part of the ...

Consistency and Linearity in Quantum Theory

open access: yes, 1998
Quantum theory is formulated as the uniquely consistent way to manipulate probability amplitudes. The crucial ingredient is a consistency constraint: if the amplitude of a quantum process can be computed in two different ways, the two answers must agree.

Branched Hamiltonians and Supersymmetry

open access: yes, 2013
Some examples of branched Hamiltonians are explored both classically and in the context of quantum mechanics, as recently advocated by Shapere and Wilczek. These are in fact cases of switchback potentials, albeit in momentum space, as previously analyzed

Comment on "Quantitative Condition is Necessary in Guaranteeing the Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation" [arXiv:1004.3100]

open access: yes, 2011
Recently, the authors of Ref.1[arXiv:1004.3100] claimed that they have proven the traditional adiabatic condition is a necessary condition. Here, it is claimed that there are some mistakes and an artificial over-strong constraint in [1], making its ...

Energy average formula of photon gas rederived by using the generalized Hermann-Feynman theorem

open access: yes, 2009
By virtue of the generalized Hermann-Feynmam theorem and the method of characteristics we rederive energy average formula of photon gas, this is another useful application of the theorem.Comment: 2 ...

Comment on ``Consistency, amplitudes and probabilities in quantum theory'' by A. Caticha

open access: yes, 1999
A carefully written paper by A. Caticha [Phys. Rev. A57, 1572 (1998)] applies consistency arguments to derive the quantum mechanical rules for compounding probability amplitudes in much the same way as earlier work by the present author [J. Math.
