In this paper, we introduce the notion of an energy graph as a simple, directed and vertex labeled graph $G$ such that the arcs $(v_i, v_j) \notin A(G)$ if $i > j$ for all distinct pairs $v_i,v_j$ and at least one vertex $v_k$ exists such…

In current studies of mean-field quantum spin systems, much attention is placed on the calculation of the ground-state energy and the excitation gap, especially the latter which plays an important role in quantum annealing. In pure systems,…
An expanding universe is not expected to have a static vacuum energy density. The so-called cosmological constant $\Lambda$ should be an approximation, certainly a good one for a fraction of a Hubble time, but it is most likely a temporary…
The time dependence of one-dimensional quantum mechanical probability densities is presented when the potential in which a particle moves is suddenly changed, called a quench. Quantum quenches are mainly addressed but a comparison with…
Vacuum energy in quantum field theory, being the sum of zero-point energies of all field modes, is formally infinite but yet, after regularization or renormalization, can give rise to finite observable effects. One way of understanding how…
