Title: The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the toroidal dipole operator in a mesoscopic system
Authors: Dragos-Victor Anghel and Mircea Dolineanu
Abstract summary: We find the quantization rules for the eigenvalues, which are essential for describing measurements of $hatT_3$. While these kernels appear to be problematic at first glance due to singularities, they can actually be used in practical computations.

Abstract: We give analytical expressions for the eigenvalues and generalized eigenfunctions of $\hat{T}_3$, the $z$-axis projection of the toroidal dipole operator, in a system consisting of a particle confined in a thin film bent into a torus shape. We find the quantization rules for the eigenvalues, which are essential for describing measurements of $\hat{T}_3$. The eigenfunctions are not square-integrable, so they do not belong to the Hilbert space of wave functions, but they can be interpreted in the formalism of rigged Hilbert spaces as kernels of distributions. While these kernels appear to be problematic at first glance due to singularities, they can actually be used in practical computations. In order to illustrate this, we prescribe their action explicitly and we also provide a normalization procedure.

Quantum electrodynamics of lossy magnetodielectric samples in vacuum: modified Langevin noise formalism [55.2480439325792]
We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

Smooth, invariant orthonormal basis for singular potential Schroedinger operators [0.0]
In a recent contribution we showed that there exists a smooth, dense domain for singular potential Schr"odinger operators on the real line. inner products between basis elements of that domain were shown to be easily computable analytically. A task left open was to construct an orthonormal basis from elements of that domain by using Gram-Schmidt orthonormalisation.

Third quantization of open quantum systems: new dissipative symmetries and connections to phase-space and Keldysh field theory formulations [77.34726150561087]
We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

The self-adjoint toroidal dipole operator in nanostructures [0.0]
We analyze a quantum particle in a system with cylindrical symmetry, which is a typical system in which toroidal moments appear. While the toroidal dipole is hermitian, it is not self-adjoint, but in the new set of coordinates the operator $hatT_3$ splits into two components, one of which is physically significant and represents an observable.
