Koopman Operator and Path Integral of Quantum Free-Electron Laser Model
Mathematics, 2022 A quantum model of a free-electron laser (FEL) is considered. Two different approaches for the exploration of the the FEL system are considered. In the first case, the Heisenberg equations of motion are mapped on the basis of the initial wave functions ...

The path integral of 3D gravity near extremality; or, JT gravity with defects as a matrix integral [PDF]
, 2020 We propose that a class of new topologies, for which there is no classical solution, should be included in the path integral of three-dimensional pure gravity, and that their inclusion solves pathological negativities in the spectrum, replacing them with
