Simon problems

Not to be confused with Simon's problem in computational complexity.

In mathematics, the Simon problems (or Simon's problems) are a series of fifteen questions posed in the year 2000 by Barry Simon, an American mathematical physicist.[1][2] Inspired by other collections of mathematical problems and open conjectures, such as the famous list by David Hilbert, the Simon problems concern quantum operators.[3] Eight of the problems pertain to anomalous spectral behavior of Schrödinger operators, and five concern operators that incorporate the Coulomb potential.[1][4]

In 2014, Artur Avila won a Fields Medal for work including the solution of three Simon problems.[5][6] Among these was the problem of proving that the set of energy levels of one particular abstract quantum system was, in fact, the Cantor set, a challenge known as the "Ten Martini Problem" after the reward that Mark Kac offered for solving it.[6][7]

The 2000 list was a refinement of a similar set of problems that Simon had posed in 1984.[8][9]
