Aspects of quantum mechanics on a ring are studied. Either one or two impenetrable barriers are inserted at nodal and non-nodal points to turn the ring into either one or two infinite square wells. In the process, the wave function of a particle can change its energy, as it gets entangled with the barriers and the insertion points become nodes. Two seemingly innocuous assumptions representing locality and linearity are investigated. Namely, a barrier insertion at a fixed node needs no energy, and barrier insertions can be described by linear maps. It will be shown that the two assumptions are incompatible.

The quantum Liouville equation, which describes the phase space dynamics of a quantum system of fermions, is analyzed from statistical point of view as a particular example of the Kramers-Moyal expansion. Quantum mechanics is extended to the relativi
stic domain by generalizing the Wigner-Moyal equation. Thus, an expression is derived for the relativistic mass in the Wigner quantum phase space presentation. The diffusion with an imaginary diffusion coefficient is also discussed. An imaginary stochastic process is proposed as the origin of quantum mechanics.
In this paper we investigate the von Neumann entropy in the ground state of one-dimensional anyonic systems with the repulsive interaction. Based on the Bethe-ansatz method, the entanglement properties for the arbitrary statistical parameter ($0leqka
ppaleq1$) are obtained from the one-particle reduced density matrix in the full interacting regime. It is shown that the entanglement entropy increases with the increase in the interaction strength and statistical parameter. The statistic parameter affects the entanglement properties from two aspects: renormalizing of the effective interaction strength and introducing an additional anyonic phase. We also evaluate the entanglement entropy of hard-core anyons for different statistical parameters in order to clarify solely the effect induced by the anyonic phase.
Quantum hydrodynamics is a formulation of quantum mechanics based on the probability density and flux (current) density of a quantum system. It can be used to define trajectories which allow for a particle-based interpretation of quantum mechanics, c
ommonly known as Bohmian mechanics. However, quantum hydrodynamics rests on the usual time-dependent formulation of quantum mechanics where time appears as a parameter. This parameter describes the correlation of the state of the quantum system with an external system -- a clock -- which behaves according to classical mechanics. With the Exact Factorization of a quantum system into a marginal and a conditional system, quantum mechanics and hence quantum hydrodynamics can be generalized for quantum clocks. In this article, the theory is developed and it is shown that trajectories for the quantum system can still be defined, and that these trajectories depend conditionally on the trajectory of the clock. Such trajectories are not only interesting from a fundamental point of view, but they can also find practical applications whenever a dynamics relative to an external time parameter is composed of fast and slow degrees of freedom and the interest is in the fast ones, while quantum effects of the slow ones (like a branching of the wavepacket) cannot be neglected. As an illustration, time- and clock-dependent trajectories are calculated for a model system of a non-adiabatic dynamics, where an electron is the quantum system, a nucleus is the quantum clock, and an external time parameter is provided, e.g. via an interaction with a laser field that is not treated explicitly.
The notion coexistence of quantum observables was introduced to describe the possibility of measuring two or more observables together. Here we survey the various different formalisations of this notion and their connections. We review examples illus
trating the necessary degrees of unsharpness for two noncommuting observables to be jointly measurable (in one sense of the phrase). We demonstrate the possibility of measuring together (in another sense of the phrase) noncoexistent observables. This leads us to a reconsideration of the connection between joint measurability and noncommutativity of observables and of the statistical and individual aspects of quantum measurements.
Heat and work are fundamental concepts for thermodynamical systems. When these are scaled down to the quantum level they require appropriate embeddings. Here we show that the dependence of the particle spectrum on system size giving rise to a formal
definition of pressure can, indeed, be correlated with an external mechanical degree of freedom, modelled as a spatial coordinate of a quantum oscillator. Under specific conditions this correlation is reminiscent of that occurring in the classical manometer.
