The Past

Vaidman has proposed a controversial criterion for determining the past of a single quantum particle based on the “weak trace” it leaves. We here consider more general examples of entangled systems and analyze the past of single, as well as pairs of entangled pre- and postselected particles. Systems with nontrivial time evolution are also analyzed. We argue that in these cases, examining only the single-particle weak trace provides information which is insufficient for understanding the system as a whole. We therefore suggest to examine, alongside with the past of single particles, also the past of pairs, triplets and eventually the entire system, including higher-order, multipartite traces in the analysis. This resonates with a recently proposed top-down approach by Aharonov, Cohen and Tollaksen for understanding the structure of correlations in pre- and postselected systems.

Freely Moving

We present a model to study the statistics of a single structureless quantum particle freely moving in a space at a finite temperature. It is shown that the quantum particle, in response to the temperature, can exchange energy with its environment in the form of heat transfer. The underlying mechanism is diffraction at the edge of the wavefront of its matter wave. The expressions of energy and entropy of the particle are obtained for the irreversible process.

In order to prepare for the discussion of quantum many-particle Hamiltonians, for example the Heisenberg quantum spin chain Hamiltonian, this chapter examines the concept of angular momentum in quantum mechanics, especially the coupling of spin-2 operators for several quantum spins. It begins with the general theory of angular momentum for a single quantum particle, especially for a single spin-1, described by Pauli spin matrices, and then extends to the theory of angular momentum for several particles, again especially for several spins1.

In deformation quantization (a.k.a. the Wigner–Weyl–Moyal formulation of quantum mechanics), we consider a single quantum particle moving freely in one dimension, except for the presence of one infinite potential wall. Dias and Prata pointed out that, surprisingly, its stationary-state Wigner function does not obey the naive equation of motion, i.e., the naive stargenvalue (*-genvalue) equation. We review our recent work on this problem that treats the infinite wall as the limit of a Liouville potential. Also included are some new results: (i) we show explicitly that the Wigner-Weyl transform of the usual density matrix is the physical solution, (ii) we prove that an effective-mass treatment of the problem is equivalent to the Liouville one, and (iii) we point out that self-adjointness of the operator Hamiltonian requires a boundary potential, but one apparently different from that proposed by Dias and Prata.

Classical Particles

We review the general features of particles, waves and solitons in dynamical cavities formed by oscillating cavity mirrors. Considered are the dynamics of classical particles in one-dimensional geometry of a dynamical billiard, taking into account the non-elastic collisions of particles with mirrors, the (quasi-energy) states of a single quantum particle in a potential well with periodically oscillating wells, and nonlinear structures, including nonlinear Rabi oscillations, cavity optical solitons and solitons of Bose–Einstein condensates, in dynamical cavities or traps.
