The dynamics of open quantum systems is determined by avoided and true crossings of eigenvalue trajectories of a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. The phases of the eigenfunctions are not rigid so that environmentally induced spectroscopic…

In the study of open quantum systems it is often useful to treat mixed states as pure states of a fictitious doubled system. In this work we explore the opposite approach: mapping isolated bilayer systems to open monolayer systems.…

Understanding the extreme sensitivity of the eigenvalues of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians to the boundary conditions is of great importance when analyzing non-Hermitian systems, as it appears generically and is intimately connected to the skin…
We describe here a novel way of defining Hamiltonians for quantum field theories (QFTs), based on the particle-position representation of the state vector and involving a condition on the state vector that we call an "interior-boundary…
We show that the Hubbard Hamiltonian with particle-assisted tunneling rates --recently proposed to model a fermionic mixture near a broad Feshbach resonance-- displays a ground state phase diagram with superfluid, insulating, and phase…
For a given a normally hyperbolic invariant manifold, whose stable and unstable manifolds intersect transversally, we consider several tools and techniques to detect trajectories with prescribed itineraries: the scattering map, the…
We prove three theorems about the use of a counting operator to study the spectrum of model Hamiltonians. We analytically calculate the eigenvalues of the Hubbard ring with four lattice positions and apply our theorems to describe the…

We study the level crossing of the fermion system described by the euclidean Dirac Hamiltonian in the valley background. One chiral fermion level is shown to cross twice the zero value in the case of well-separated instanton-anti-instanton…
We apply the gradient approach to obtain a path over the sphaleron barrier and to demonstrate the fermionic level crossing phenomenon. Neglecting the mixing angle dependence and assuming that the fermions of a doublet are degenerate in mass…
