• Abstract: As basic quantum mechanical models, anharmonic oscillators are recently revisited by bootstrap methods. An effective approach is to make use of the positivity constraints in Hermitian theories. There exists an alternative avenue based on the null state condition, which applies to both Hermitian and non-Hermitian theories. In this work, we carry out an analytic bootstrap study of the quartic oscillator based on the small coupling expansion. In the Hamiltonian formalism, we obtain the anharmonic generalization of Dirac's ladder operators. Furthermore, the Schrodinger equation can be interpreted as a null state condition generated by an anharmonic ladder operator. This provides an explicit example in which dynamics is incorporated into the principle of nullness. In the Lagrangian formalism, we show that the existence of null states can effectively eliminate the indeterminacy of the Dyson-Schwinger equations and systematically determine $n$-point Green's functions.

  We investigate quantum dynamics for an ion confined within an oscillating quadrupole field. It is established that the Hamilton equations of motion, in both Schr"odinger and Heisenberg representations, are equivalent to the Hill equation. The quantum states for trapped ions are demonstrated to be Fock (number) states, while the exact solutions of the Schr"odinger equation for a trapped ion are exactly the quasienergy states.

We illustrate the method in different systems, ranging from bosonic Gaussian to dissipative-driven collective spins.

While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

• Taming Dyson-Schwinger equations with null states [0.913755431537592]
  In quantum field theory, the Dyson-Schwinger equations are an infinite set of equations relating $n$-point Green's functions in a self-consistent manner. One of the main problems is that a finite truncation of the infinite system is underdetermined. In this paper, we propose another avenue in light of the null bootstrap.

  We present a class of deformed creation and annihilation operators that originates from a rigorous notion of fuzziness. This leads to deformed, sub-bosonic commutation relations inducing a simple algebraic structure with modified eigenenergies and Fock states. In addition, we investigate possible consequences of the introduced formalism in quantum field theories, as for instance, deviations from linearity in the dispersion relation for free quasibosons.
