    Notes: We study an example of a generalized Friedrichs model, in which a continuous-continuous coupling produces a pair of resonances as branch cuts of the analytic continuation of the reduced resolvent of the perturbed Hamiltonian to the second sheet of the Riemann surface associated to a transformation of the type w = z + α √z. To define the perturbation, we use the theory of self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators proposed by the group of St. Petersburg. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Irreversibility in quantum mechanics (2004)

    Description: Time asymmetry and irreversibility are signal features of our world. They are the reason of our aging and the basis for our belief that effects are preceded by causes. These features have many manifestations called arrows of time. In classical physics, some of these arrows are described by the increase of entropy or probability, and others by time-asymmetric boundary conditions of time-symmetric equations (e.g., Maxwell or Einstein). However, there is some controversy over whether probability or boundary conditions are more fundamental. For quantum systems, entropy increase is usually associated with the effects of an environment or measurement apparatus on a quantum system and is described by the von Neumann-Liouville equation. But since the traditional (von Neumann) axioms of quantum mechanics do not allow time-asymmetric boundary conditions for the dynamical differential equations (Schrödinger or Heisenberg), there is no quantum analogue of the radiation arrow of time. In this paper, we review consequences of a modification of a fundamental axiom of quantum mechanics. The new quantum theory is time asymmetric and accommodates an irreversible time evolution of isolated quantum systems.
