In this work we have presented a rather general and easy-to-apply method for discrete Hilbert space representation of quantum mechanical Green's operators. We have shown that if in some discrete Hilbert space basis representation the Hamiltonian takes an infinite symmetric tridiagonal, i.e. Jacobi-matrix form the corresponding Green's matrix can be calculated on the whole complex energy plane by a continued fraction. The procedure necessitates only the analytic calculation of the Hamiltonian matrix elements, which are used to construct the coefficients of the continued fraction. This continued fraction representation of the Green's operator was shown to be convergent for the bound state energy region. The theory of analytic continuation of continued fractions was utilized to extend the representation to the whole complex energy plane. The presented method provides a simple, easily applicable and analytically correct recipe for calculating discrete basis representation of Green's operators.
A state-preserving quantum counting algorithm is used to obtain coefficients of a Lanczos recursion from a single ground state wavefunction on the quantum computer. This is used to compute the continued fraction representation of an interacting Green's function for use in condensed matter, particle physics, and other areas. The wavefunction does not need to be re-prepared at each iteration. The quantum algorithm represents an exponential reduction in memory over known classical methods. An extension of the method to determining the ground state is also discussed.
Quantum squeezing and entanglement of spins can be used to improve the sensitivity in quantum metrology. Here we propose a scheme to create collective coupling of an ensemble of spins to mechanical vibrational mode actuated by an external magnetic field. We find an evolution time where the mechanical motion decouples from the spins, and the accumulated geometric phase yields a squeezing of $5.9~\text{dB}$ for $20$ spins. We also show the creation of a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger spin state for $20$ spins with a fidelity of $\sim 0.62$ at cryogenic temperature. The numerical simulations show th…
The Feshbach-Villars equations, like the Klein-Gordon equation, are relativistic quantum mechanical equations for spin-$0$ particles. We write the Feshbach-Villars equations into an integral equation form and solve them by applying the Coulomb-Sturmian potential separable expansion method. We consider bound-state problems in a Coulomb plus short range potential. The corresponding Feshbach-Villars Coulomb Green's operator is represented by a matrix continued fraction.
When one tries to take into account the non-trivial vacuum structure of Quantum Field Theory, the standard functional-integral tools such as generating functionals or transitional amplitudes, are often quite inadequate for such purposes. Here we propose a generalized generating functional for Green's functions which allows to easily distinguish among a continuous set of vacua that are mutually connected via unitary canonical transformations. In order to keep our discussion as simple as possible, we limit ourselves to Quantum Mechanics where the generating functional of Green's functions is con…
We present an algorithm to compute Green's functions on quantum computers for interacting electron systems, which is a challenging task on conventional computers. It uses a continued fraction representation based on the Lanczos method, where the wave functions are expanded as linear combination of basis states within a quantum subspace. While on conventional computers the cost of the computation grows exponentially with system size, limiting the method to small systems, by representing the basis states on a quantum computer one may overcome this exponential scaling barrier. We propose a two-le…
We propose an algorithm to obtain Green's functions as a continued fraction on quantum computers, which is based on the construction of the Krylov basis using variational quantum algorithms, and included in a Lanczos iterative scheme. This allows the integration of quantum algorithms with first principles material science simulations, as we demonstrate within the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) framework. DMFT enables quantitative predictions for strongly correlated materials, and relies on the calculation of Green's functions. On conventional computers the exponential growth of the Hilbert…
Time reversal symmetry is a fundamental property of many quantum mechanical systems. The relation between statistical physics and time reversal is subtle and not all statistical theories conserve this particular symmetry, most notably hydrodynamic equations and kinetic equations such as the Boltzmann equation. In this article it is shown analytically that quantum kinetic generalizations of the Boltzmann equation that are derived using the nonequilibrium Green functions formalism as well as all approximations that stem from $Φ$-derivable selfenergies are time reversal invariant.
The conceptual divide between classical physics and quantum mechanics has not been satisfactorily bridged as yet. The purpose of this paper is to show that such a bridge exists naturally in the Green-Wolf complex scalar representation of electromagnetic fields and its extension to massive fields. The quantum mechanical theory of radiation that follows from the the Green-Wolf representation is applied to the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) regarded as a universal medium, and the implications are explored.

In quantum statistical mechanics, Moyal's equation governs the time evolution of Wigner functions and of more general Weyl symbols that represent the density matrix of arbitrary mixed states. A formal solution to Moyal's equation is given by Marinov's path integral. In this paper we demonstrate that this path integral can be regarded as the natural link between several conceptual, geometric, and dynamical issues in quantum mechanics. A unifying perspective is achieved by highlighting the pivotal role which the response field, one of the integration variables in Marinov's integral, plays for pu…
A short introduction of a relation between a Green's function and a quantum wave impedance function as well as its application to a determination of eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of a quatum-mechanical system is provided. Three different approaches, namely a classical approach based on a direct solving of a Shrödinger equation, a transfer matrix method and a quantum wave impedance technique, for a calculation of eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of a quantum mechanical nonsymmetric single well system are considered. A comparision of these approaches gives the possibility to clarify advantage…

Based on the Stueckelberg-Horwitz-Piron theory of covariant quantum mechanics on curved spacetime, we solved wave equation for a charged covariant harmonic oscillator in the background of charged static spherically symmetric black hole. Using Greens functions , we found asymptotic form for the wave function in the lowest mode (s-mode) and in higher moments. It has been proven that for s-wave, in a definite range of solid angles, the differential cross section depends effectively to the magnetic and electric charges of the black hole.
We study the quantum-mechanical problem of scattering caused by a localized obstacle that breaks spatial and temporal reversibility. Accordingly, we follow Maxwell's prescription to achieve a violation of the second law of thermodynamics by means of a momentum-dependent interaction in the Hamiltonian, resulting in what is known as Maxwell's demon. We obtain the energy-dependent Green's function analytically, as well as its meromorphic structure. The poles lead directly to the solution of the evolution problem, in the spirit of M. Moshinsky's work in the 1950s. Symmetric initial conditions are …
