• Abstract: We compute both analytically and numerically the geometry of the parameter space of the anharmonic oscillator employing the quantum metric tensor and its scalar curvature. A novel semiclassical treatment based on a Fourier decomposition allows to construct classical analogues of the quantum metric tensor and of the expectation values of the transition matrix elements. A detailed comparison is presented between exact quantum numerical results, a perturbative quantum description and the semiclassical analysis. They are shown to coincide for both positive and negative quadratic potentials, where the potential displays a double well. Although the perturbative method is unable to describe the region where the quartic potential vanishes, it is remarkable that both the perturbative and semiclassical formalisms recognize the negative oscillator parameter at which the ground state starts to be delocalized in two wells.

  We study the classical analog of the quantum metric tensor and its scalar curvature for two well-known quantum physics models. We find that, in the thermodynamic limit, they have the same divergent behavior near the quantum phase transition. We also show that the scalar curvature is only defined on one of the system's phases and that it approaches a negative constant value.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• The role of boundary conditions in quantum computations of scattering observables [58.720142291102135]
  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
