- Abstract: We consider a non-relativistic particle in a one-dimensional box with all possible quantum boundary conditions that make the kinetic-energy operator selfadjoint. We determine the Wigner functions of the corresponding eigenfunctions and analyze in detail their classical limit in the high-energy regime. We show that the quantum boundary conditions split into two classes: all local and regular boundary conditions collapse to the same classical boundary condition, while singular non-local boundary conditions slightly persist in the classical limit.

We address the problem of transparent boundary conditions for quantum graphs, building on previous work on transparent boundary conditions for the stationary Schrodinger equation on a line.
We also discuss how the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a quantum graph are influenced not only by its topology, but also by the shape of a potential when an external field is involved.

Examples are phase transitions in the thermodynamic limit, the emergence of classical mechanics from quantum theory at large action, and continuum quantum field theory arising from renormalization group fixed points.
We present a flexible modeling tool for the limit of theories: soft inductive limits constituting a generalization of inductive limits of Banach spaces.

We formulate a self-consistent model of the integer quantum Hall effect on an infinite strip.
We find that the latter introduce a new kind of states with no classical analogues, and add a finer structure to the quantization pattern of the Hall conductivity.
Our model also predicts the breakdown of the quantum Hall effect at high values of the applied electric field.

We consider a quasi-classical version of the Alicki-Fannes-Winter technique widely used for quantitative continuity analysis of quantum systems and channels.
We obtain continuity bounds under constraints of different types for quantum states belonging to subsets of a special form that can be called "quasi-classical"
