Post-Newtonian Hamiltonian description of an atom in a weak gravitational field
Philip K. Schwartz, Domenico Giulini
We extend the systematic calculation of an approximately relativistic Hamiltonian for centre of mass and internal dynamics of an electromagnetically bound two-particle system by So…
Superselection Rules
Domenico Giulini
This note provides a summary of the meaning of the term `Superselection Rule' in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum-Field Theory. It is a slightly extended version of a contribution to…
That strange procedure called quantisation
Domenico Giulini
This is a pedagogical and (almost) self-contained introduction into the theorem of Groenewold and van Howe, which states that a naive transcription of Dirac's quantisation rules ca…
Decoherence: A dynamical approach to superselection rules?
Domenico Giulini
It is well known that the dynamical mechanism of decoherence may cause apparent superselection rules, like that of molecular chirality. These `environment-induced' or `soft' supers…
".. I didn't reflect much on what I was doing.." How Planck discovered his radiation formula
Domenico Giulini, Norbert Straumann
On December 14. 1900, Max Planck communicated his derivation of his radiation formula, which he later called ``an act of desperation''. This date is widely recognized as birthday o…
States, Symmetries and Superselection
Domenico Giulini
The process of dynamical decoherence may cause apparent superselection rules, which are sometimes called `environmentally induced' or `soft'. A natural question is whether such dyn…
