Supercooled water is expected to exhibit a liquid--liquid phase transition between low- and high-density liquid states, possibly terminating in a liquid--liquid critical point in the experimentally difficult no man's land. Because the…

We use computer simulations to study the phase behaviour for hard, right rhombic prisms as a function of the angle of their rhombic face (the "slant" angle). More specifically, using a combination of event-driven molecular dynamics…
The chiral phase transition of a hot and dense system of quarks is studied within a modified SU(3) NJL lagrangian that implements the QCD scale anomaly. The u- and s-quark condensates can feel or not the same chiral restoration depending on…

We study the quantum dynamics of a two-level system interacting with a quantized harmonic oscillator in the deep strong coupling regime (DSC) of the Jaynes-Cummings model, that is, when the coupling strength g is comparable or larger than…
The quasi-harmonic model proposes that a crystal can be modeled as atoms connected by springs. We demonstrate how this viewpoint can be misleading: a simple application of Gauss' law shows that the ion-ion potential for a cubic Coulomb…
In this work, we have applied the self-compressed stabilized jellium model to predict the equilibrium properties of isolated thin Al, Na, and Cs slabs. To make a direct correspondence to atomic slabs, we have considered only those $L$…
The interlayer spacings near the surface of a crystal are different from that of the bulk. As a result, the value of the ionic density in the normal direction and near to the surface shows some oscillations around the bulk value. To…
In a quantum change point problem, a source emitting particles in a fixed quantum state (default) switches to a different state at some stage, and the objective is to identify when the change happened by measuring a sequence of particles…
Superconductor-insulator transition is one of the remarkable phenomena driven by quantum fluctuation in two-dimensional (2D) systems. Such a quantum phase transition (QPT) was investigated predominantly on highly disordered thin films with…
