Constrained Symplectic Quantization: Disclosing the Deterministic Framework Behind Quantum Mechanics

This paper introduces Constrained Symplectic Quantization, a holomorphic reformulation of symplectic quantization that imposes constraints on intrinsic time Hamiltonian flow to resolve structural limitations and establish exact equivalence with the Feynman path integral, thereby enabling the accurate numerical sampling of real-time quantum observables as demonstrated on the quantum harmonic oscillator.

New Improved Schwarzschild Black Hole and Its Thermodynamics and Topological Classification

This paper constructs a renormalization-group improved Schwarzschild black hole geometry using exact Scheme B running, demonstrating that quantum corrections regularize the central singularity, induce nontrivial thermodynamic phase structures with stable remnants, and shift critical points while preserving the global topological number of the solution.

Deconfinement transition within the Curci-Ferrari model -- Renormalization scale and scheme dependences

This paper investigates the confinement/deconfinement transition in pure Yang-Mills theories using the Curci-Ferrari model, demonstrating that predicted transition temperatures are robust against variations in renormalization scale and scheme, and align closely with lattice simulation results, thereby validating the model's effectiveness as an infrared description.

Krylov Complexity in early universe

This paper employs the Lanczos algorithm to investigate Krylov complexity in the early universe as an open system across inflation, radiation, and matter domination epochs, revealing distinct dissipative behaviors, the similarity of complexity evolution across various inflationary potentials, and deriving new evolution equations for squeezing parameters via Meixner polynomials to demonstrate rapid decoherence-like effects.

Configurable photonic simulator for quantum field dynamics

This paper introduces the Optical Time Algorithm (OTA), a flexible framework that utilizes a single, reconfigurable optical circuit to efficiently simulate diverse free quantum field dynamics—including varying coupling geometries, spacetime metrics, and boundary conditions—thereby overcoming the rigidity of traditional experimental setups and paving the way for tabletop investigations of quantum field theories.
