In this paper we study the existence and linear stability of bright and dark breathers in one-dimensional FPU lattices. On the one hand, we test the range of validity of a recent breathers existence proof [G. James, {\em C. R. Acad. Sci.…
We employ the heat perturbations correlation function to study thermal transport in the one-dimensional (1D) Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-$\beta$ lattice with both nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings. We find that such a system bears a…
We investigate thermal conduction in arrays of long-range interacting rotors and Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) oscillators coupled to two reservoirs at different temperatures. The strength of the interaction between two lattice sites decays as a…

We consider a $\pi$-mode solution of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $\beta$ system. By perturbing it, we study the system as a function of the energy density from a regime where the solution is stable to a regime, where is unstable, first weakly and…
We investigate the phase structure of spin-imbalanced unitary Fermi gases beyond mean-field theory by means of the Functional Renormalization Group. In this approach, quantum and thermal fluctuations are resolved in a systematic manner. The…
We show that Hamiltonian nonlinear dispersive wave systems with cubic nonlinearity and random initial data develop, during their evolution, anomalous correlators. These are responsible for the appearance of "ghost" excitations, i.e. those…

We use scaling and renormalization-group techniques to analyze the leading nonanalyticities in a Fermi liquid. We show that a physically motivated scaling hypothesis reproduce the results known from perturbation theory for the density of…
We study atomic chains with nonlinear nearest neighbour interactions and prove the existence of fronts (heteroclinic travelling waves with constant asymptotic states). Generalizing recent results of Herrmann and Rademacher we allow for…
We study the thermal transport properties of the one dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model ($\beta$-type) with long-range interactions. The strength of the long-range interaction decreases with the (shortest) distance between the lattice sites…
By solving the exact master equation of open quantum systems, we formulate the quantum thermodynamics from weak to strong couplings. The open quantum systems exchange matters, energies and information with their reservoirs through quantum…
Thermodynamics provides powerful constraints on physical and chemical systems in equilibrium. However, non-equilibrium dynamics depends explicitly on microscopic properties, requiring an understanding beyond thermodynamics. Remarkably, in…
Understanding how statistical equilibrium can occur in out-of-equilibrium systems is of paramount interest, as it would enable the use of statistical mechanics tools to these systems. Here, we report the first experimental evidence of…
Previously we numerically showed that thermalization can occur in an oscillating Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) with a disordered harmonic trap when healing length $\xi$ of the condensate is shorter than the correlation length $\sigma_{D}$…
We demonstrate that in the atomic-scale limit the thermal conductance $\mathcal K$ of the FPU model and its variants strongly deviates from the mesoscopic behavior due to the relevance of contact resistance. As a result, atomic chains…
