A much-needed solution for the efficient modeling of strong coupling between matter and optical cavity modes is offered by mean-field mixed quantum--classical dynamics, where a classical cavity field interacts self-consistently with quantum…
We investigate here gravitational collapse of a perfect fluid with a linear isentropic equation of state $p = k \rho$. A class of collapse models is given which is a family of solutions to Einstein equations and the final fate of collapse…
By using a recently proposed probabilistic approach, we determine the exact ground state of a class of matrix Hamiltonian models characterized by the fact that in the thermodynamic limit the multiplicities of the potential values assumed by…
Standard variational methods tend to obtain upper bounds on the ground state energy of quantum many-body systems. Here we study a complementary method that determines lower bounds on the ground state energy in a systematic fashion, scales…
In the spirit of Sakharov's `metric elasticity' proposal, we draw a loose analogy between general relativity and the hydrodynamic state of a quantum gas. In the `top-down' approach, we examine the various conditions which underlie the…
We investigate the ground-state properties of quantum particles interacting via a long-range repulsive potential ${\cal V}_\sigma(x)\sim 1/|x|^{1+\sigma}$ ($-1<\sigma$) or ${\cal V}_\sigma(x)\sim -|x|^{-1-\sigma}$ ($-2\leq \sigma <-1$) that…
We enumerate the micro-states in Higgs theories, addressing (i) the number of vacuum states and (ii) the appropriate measure in the quantum path integral. To address (i) we explicitly construct the set of ground state wave-functionals in…
We completely solve the problem of classifying all one-dimensional quantum potentials with nearest- and next-to-nearest-neighbors interactions whose ground state is Jastrow-like, i.e., of Jastrow type but depending only on differences of…
Exact vacuum solutions with a nontrivial torsion for the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in five dimensions are constructed. We consider a class of static metrics whose spacelike section is a warped product of the real line with a nontrivial…
We analyse perturbatively, whether a flat background with vanishing G-flux in Horava-Witten supergravity represents a vacuum state, which is stable with respect to interactions between the ten-dimensional boundaries, mediated through the…
We study a mean-field spin model with three- and two-body interactions. The equilibrium measure for large volumes is shown to have three pure states, the phases of the model. They include the two with opposite magnetization and an…
We consider the three-dimensional electron gas confined by a strictly two-dimensional homogeneous positive charge density at $z=0$. Within the Hartree-Fock approximation, we study the mode structure in the confined direction in the metallic…
The space of quantum states can be endowed with a metric structure using the second order derivatives of the relative entropy, giving rise to the so-called Kubo-Mori-Bogoliubov inner product. We explore its geometric properties on the…
The manifold of pure quantum states is a complex projective space endowed with the unitary-invariant geometry of Fubini and Study. According to the principles of geometric quantum mechanics, the detailed physical characteristics of a given…
We study the ground state which minimizes a Gross-Pitaevskii energy with general non-radial trapping potential, under the unit mass constraint, in the Thomas-Fermi limit where a small parameter tends to 0. This ground state plays an…
The ground state of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model at unit filling undergoes the Mott-superfluid quantum phase transition. It belongs to the Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class with an exponential divergence of the correlation…
A comparative analysis of three different time-independent approaches to studying open quantum structures in uniform electric field $\mathscr{E}$ was performed using the example of one-dimensional attractive or repulsive $\delta$-potential…
We study the question of what kind of a macroscopic superposition can(not) naturally exist as a ground state of some gapped local many-body Hamiltonian. We derive an upper bound on the energy gap of an arbitrary physical Hamiltonian…
The vacuum dependence on boundary conditions in quantum field theories is analysed from a very general viewpoint. From this perspective the renormalization prescriptions not only imply the renormalization of the couplings of the theory in…
