• Abstract: Periodic structures are ubiquitous in quantum many-body systems and quantum field theories, ranging from lattice models, compact spaces, to topological phenomena. However, previous bootstrap studies encountered technical challenges even for one-body periodic problems, such as a failure in determining the accurate dispersion relations for Bloch bands. In this work, we develop a new bootstrap procedure to resolve these issues, which does not make use of positivity constraints. We mainly consider a quantum particle in a periodic cosine potential. The same procedure also applies to a particle on a circle, where the role of the Bloch momentum $k$ is played by the boundary condition or the $\theta$ angle. We unify the natural set of operators and the translation operator by a new set of operators $\{e^{inx} e^{iap} p^s\}$. To extract the Bloch momentum $k$, we further introduce a set of differential equations for $\langle{e^{inx} e^{iap} p^s}\rangle$ in the translation parameter $a$. At some fixed $a$, the boundary conditions can be determined accurately by analytic bootstrap techniques and matching conditions. After solving the differential equations, we impose certain reality conditions to determine the accurate dispersion relations, as well as the $k$ dependence of other physical quantities. We also investigate the case of noninteger $s$ using the Weyl integral in fractional calculus.

  We extend bootstrap methods to models with continuous Bloch band spectra. We find that the band structure can be obtained accurately provided the bootstrap uses moments involving both position and momentum variables. We also introduce several new techniques that can apply generally to other bootstrap studies.

  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.

  Consider a non-relativistic quantum particle with wave function inside a region $Omegasubset mathbbR3$. The question how to compute the probability distribution of the time at which the detector surface registers the particle boils down to finding a reasonable mathematical definition of an ideal detecting surface. A particularly convincing definition, called the absorbing boundary rule, involves a time evolution for the particle's wave function $psi$ expressed by a Schrodinger equation in $Omega$ together with an "absorbing" boundary condition on $partial Omega$ first considered by Werner in
