Abstract

We consider a quantum system on the real line obeying a deformed Heisenberg algebra originally proposed by Wigner in 1950. Its explicit coordinate representation was provided by Yang in 1951 and in essence is identical in form with Dunkl's difference-differential operator introduced in 1989 in connection with roots systems of refection groups. Under certain conditions such quantum systems exhibit a supersymmetric (SUSY) structure where the reflection operator acts as the grading operator. We present a generalisation of Yang's representation by first considering only of one the two equations of motion in phase space. The corresponding non-interacting system is found to represent Witten's model of SUSY quantum mechanics. Imposing also the second equation of motion the original result of Wigner and Yang is reconsidered by extending their discussion to general symmetric potentials on the real line. As explicit example we discuss the harmonic oscillator and an attractive Coulomb-like potential $V(x)=-\gamma/|x|$. We also establish a Hooke-Newton duality between this Coulomb-like system and the original Wigner-Yang harmonic oscillator system.

Monogamous quantum corrections to holographic mutual information

We construct an extensive model of bulk mutual information (MI) in anti-de Sitter spacetime and use it to describe the leading quantum corrections to the MI of certain holographic theories. The equivalence between bulk and boundary MI follows from the Faulkner--Lewkowycz--Maldacena prescription. We show that the extens...

Exact Phase-Space Rotation in the Trapped Quantum Calogero Model

We develop a microscopic phase-space description of the quantum Calogero model in the presence of an external harmonic confining potential. Building on the quantum Lax-pair structure, we construct a Hermitian Wigner operator whose expectation value obeys the exact phase-space evolution equation d_t rho + lambda d_x rho...

The Schr\"odinger-Klein-Gordon System Revisited

We introduce a microlocal formulation of the Schr{\"o}dinger-Klein-Gordon system describing the interaction between a non-relativistic quantum particle and a Klein-Gordon field through Yukawa coupling. Instead of working directly with the Schr{\"o}dinger wave function, we represent the quantum component by its Fourier-...

Operator-Level Quantum-Classical Correspondence in Relativistic Quantum Theory and Curved Spacetime

In a recent work \cite{Shaikh:2026nsi}, it was shown that for a non-relativistic particle, the operator equations of motion can be cast in the same differential form as Newton's equation of motion. This establishes a correspondence between quantum operator dynamics and classical mechanics at the level of the equations...

q-Opers and Quantum/Classical Duality Beyond Type A

Using the language of q-opers, we propose an algebro-geometric description of the duality between Bethe Ansatz equations for quantum XXZ spin chains and many-body trigonometric Ruijsenaars-Schneider/Macdonald systems for classical groups. Upon this duality, the energy level sets of the classical B/C/D-type Hamiltonians...

Quantum de Sitter and Analytically Continued Chern Simons Theory

We give a Lefschetz thimble definition of the Chern--Simons--Kodama wavefunctional in Lorentzian self-dual gravity with positive cosmological constant. By complexifying the connection and choosing the Lefschetz thimble attached to the self-dual de~Sitter saddle, Witten's analytic continuation of Chern--Simons theory re...
