Several interesting publications have appeared in the literature on the so-called "negative time" or "negative group delay" in experiments on the interaction of photons with cold atoms [1 - 6]. The physical meaning of this phenomenon is unclear. Such a physical explanation is proposed here and simple experiments for its further study are discussed.

Einstein said, "I want to know how God created this world. I want to know His thoughts..." [1] So, I think Einstein sought answers to such basic questions as: "Why don’t we have a universe of solely empty space, i.e., all nothingness, total ‘void’, with no matter nor energy in it, instead of our universe with some mass?" Finding good answers may seem impossible, but let’s creatively try to. Regarding the above question, for example, we note that the opposite of a ‘totally void universe’ is a ‘fully-filled universe’. But the ‘fully-filled’ option drags along with it, a huge load of other questions, possibilities, and problems to be worked out. Thus, perhaps those many other questions and issues, dragged along with it, is the main ‘reason’ why we have a universe with ’gross’ mass occupying only a very low fraction of all space, (i.e., only 10 to the power of -19 or less). But still, some fraction of space, indeed! So, below we formally present our analytic method, involving comparing different possibilities and their merits. And give examples of that. And we conclude, like Einstein, that "God did not ‘play dice’, so-to-speak, when ‘choosing our universe’."

In this work, we explore the python code to study the anharmonic oscillator. In obtaining the numerical solution for eigenvalues and eigen-functions, we discretize the spatial coordinates into the finite number of grid points and use the finite difference method. We observe that the effect of anharmonic term in hamiltonian in shifting energy level increases towards higher energy states. We compare eigen functions for ground, first excited and second excited state of the harmonic oscillator with anharmonic oscillator. Further, the corrected wave-functions using first order perturbationtheory are compared with wave-functions obtained from the numerical solutions of Schrodinger’s equations. The numerical Python code shows consistency of first order perturbation theory for the small value of anharmonic term.

The results of numerous Bell tests are viewed as evidence of quantum entanglement: the instant inner connection between totally separated entangled particles, which explains the ‘spooky action at a distance’, a term coiled by Einstein. The paper proposes a variation to Bell tests, aiming to prove or disprove spooky action from a distance. The main variation is an added pair of half-waveplates, with which we can change the relative polarization angle of the entangled photon pairs and assess its impact. The paper has derived the quantum prediction of Bell tests due to the changes in both the relative polarization angle of the entangled photon pairs and in the relative angle of the polarization measurement devices. If the quantum prediction is proven correct by experiments, the claim of instant inner connection between entangled particles or spooky action from a distance must be false.

The concepts of quantum superposition and entanglement are at the heart of quantum mechanics, but they often cause confusion. This paper shows that the concepts are intimately related to quantum coherence. Through examining the traditional arguments, the paper reveals that the essence of quantum superposition is a statistical superposition of coherent states, while quantum entanglement results from the coherence of entangled particles as well as the common rule governing the measurements.

We propose an ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics based on the principle of subjective incompleteness—a fundamental limitation arising from the fact that the observer is part of the world being observed. By formalizing consciousness as a set of states Subj and the world as a self-mapping W:Subj→Subj, we construct an ontological configuration space whose structure naturally gives rise to the Hilbert space of quantum states. Within the proposed model, the hidden parameters in the representation of an observable operator are the eigenvalues of its canonical conjugate. In particular, the coordinate and momentum representations complement each other to form a complete ontological description, with the corresponding variables appearing as mutually hidden. From this perspective, the phenomenon of duality in physics, exemplified by pairs such as coordinate—momentum or time—energy, reflects the underlying subject—object structure of reality.The model offers a new justification of Bohr’s principle of complementarity and provides a geometrical account of noncommutativity in terms of subjective incompleteness. Furthermore, the entropic uncertainty relations of Hirschman—Everett are reinterpreted as quantitative measures of subjective incompleteness. This approach links the growth of thermodynamic entropy with the "motion" of the observer’s consciousness along the gradient of ontological states, thereby providing a natural explanation of the thermodynamic arrow of time.Thus, the key features of quantum mechanics emerge from the fundamental principle of subjective incompleteness. This article continues a series of works devoted to the role of the observer and consciousness in physics.

We study some applications of hyperhamiltonian quantum mechanics, to the problem of origin of mass in quantum physics and cosmology. It is shown that, within HHQM framework, all matter, ordinary and dark is generated purely geometrically by the two-measure interaction on spacetime’s locally compact Lie group.

The quantum measurement problem—the absence of any dynamical mechanism connecting continuous wavefunction evolution to discrete empirical outcomes—has persisted since the foundations of quantum theory. Decoherence explains interference suppression but cannot explain outcome selection: the diagonal density matrix remains an improper mixture until one outcome is actualized. We propose that collapse is a physical phase transition in the coupled system—apparatus field. The order parameter ψ, constructed as a conditional collective coordinate of apparatus degrees of freedom, evolves under time-dependent Ginzburg—Landau (TDGL) dynamics with a symmetry-breaking potential. When the coherence pressure γ ≡ g √N|⟨Sˆ⟩|/ℏωS exceeds a critical threshold γc = λ/ℏωS, the symmetric phase (superposition) becomes unstable and the field crystallizes into one of the discrete stable minima (eigenstates). We derive the critical coupling from microscopic system—apparatus Hamiltonians,obtaining the scaling gc ∼ N−1/2, which explains why macroscopic apparatus collapse wavefunctions while microscopic interactions preserve coherence. The TDGL dynamics are derived from the microscopic Hamiltonian via the Schwinger—Keldysh path integral, with each step a controlled approximation requiring no modification to the Schr¨odinger equation. The Born rule Pn = |cn|2 is preserved through a dynamical selection mechanism: an equal-basin-volume theorem—proved from the permutation symmetry of the apparatus interaction—ensures that attractor basin geometry under probability-conserving Fokker—Planck flow converts quantum amplitudes into outcome probabilities. We characterize the quantum-classical interface via two complementary classicality criteria and identify a four-stage measurement chain (unitary evolution → decoherence → coarse-graining → phase transition) that resolves the Heisenberg cut dynamically. The theory yields four falsifiable predictions absent from standard quantum mechanics: critical slowing near γc, hysteresis in the collapse—recoherence cycle, metastable supercooled superpositions,and transient Jacobian spikes at the moment of collapse. Quantitative estimates are provided for three experimental platforms—superconducting transmon readout, cavity QED with Rydberg atoms, and optomechanical systems—with explicit falsification criteria. This framework provides a concrete existence proof that collapse dynamics can be constructed from standard quantum mechanics plus statistical mechanics.

Arguing statistical foundations of quantum theory and showing the way it naturally resolves all quantum "mysterious paradoxes". In this context the great deal of attention is given to principles of quantum measurements. To facilitate a better appreciation of quantum mechanical paradigms we provide a brief essay of a quantum field theory and its natural evolution to nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, and then, to classical physics. The presentation aims at both physics students and young scientists, as well as seasoned researchers who will find the discussion of lots of interesting points. The first half contains basics of quantum mechanics and the discussion of main quantum paradoxes.
