Symmetry in mixed quantum states can manifest in two distinct forms: strong symmetry, where each individual pure state in the quantum ensemble is symmetric with the same charge, and weak symmetry, which applies only to the entire ensemble.…
We propose an approach to describe Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking (SSB) that does not rely on the order parameter dependent free energy (Landau theory). We use the Functional Renormalization Group (FRG) evolution of the explicitly broken…
The combination of linear and nonlinear potentials, both shaped as a single well, enables competition between the confinement and expulsion induced by the former and latter potentials, respectively. We demonstrate that this setting leads to…
