Exact ground states, charge densities and excitation energies are found using valence bond methods for N-site modified Hubbard models with uniform spacing. At the neutral-ionic transition (NIT), the ground state has a symmetry crossover in…
The ground-state entanglement of a single particle of the N-harmonium system (i.e., a completely-integrable model of $N$ particles where both the confinement and the two-particle interaction are harmonic) is shown to be analytically…
Real physical systems are often maintained off equilibrium by energy or matter flows. If these systems are far from equilibrium then the thermodynamical branch become unstable and fluctuations can lead them to other more stable states.…
We introduce a generic method for computing groundstates that is applicable to a wide range of spatially anisotropic 2D many-body quantum systems. By representing the 2D system using a low-energy 1D basis set, we obtain an effective 1D…
Numerical simulations of self-gravitating systems are generally based on N-body codes, which solve the equations of motion of a large number of interacting particles. This approach suffers from poor statistical sampling in regions of low…
We study the ground state properties of classical Coulomb charges interacting with a 1/r potential moving on a plane but confined either by a circular hard wall boundary or by a harmonic potential. The charge density in the continuum limit…
A new variational basis with well-behaved local approximation properties and multiple output is proposed for Coulomb systems. The trial function has proper behaviour at all Coulomb centres. Nonlinear asymptotic parameters are introduced…

A variational method for studying the ground state of strongly interacting quantum many-body bosonic systems is presented. Our approach constructs a class of extensive variational non-Gaussian wavefunctions which extend Gaussian states by…
The excited states of a charged particle interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field and an external potential all decay, but such a particle should have a true ground state--one that minimizes the energy and satisfies the…
We investigate static spherically symmetric perfect fluid models in Newtonian gravity for barotropic equations of state that are asymptotically polytropic at low and high pressures. This is done by casting the equations into a 3-dimensional…
A novel, exact, theoretical method for the study of the excited states of a system is presented. It is demonstrated how to transform the excited state problem of one Hamiltonian into the ground state problem of an auxiliary one. From this,…
The variational determination of the two-boson reduced density matrix is described for a one-dimensional system of $N$ (where $N$ ranges from $2$ to $10^4$) harmonically trapped bosons interacting via contact interaction. The ground-state…
We study the quantum mechanical many-body problem of $N$ nonrelativistic electrons interacting with their self-generated classical electromagnetic field and $K$ static nuclei. The system of coupled equations governing the dynamics of the…
We report on a study of a finite system of classical confined particles in two-dimensions in the presence of a uniform magnetic field and interacting via a two-body repulsive potential. We develop a simple analytical method of analysis to…
We propose a simple and efficient real-space approach for the calculation of the ground-state energies of Wigner crystals in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions. To be precise, we calculate the first two terms in the asymptotic expansion of the total…
The $1/Z$-expansion for the Coulomb system of infinitely massive center of charge Z and two electrons is discussed. Numerical deficiency in Baker et al, {\em Phys. Rev. \bf A41}, 1247 (1990) is indicated which continue to raise doubts in…

Many-body entangled quantum states studied in condensed matter physics can be primary resources for quantum information, allowing any quantum computation to be realized using measurements alone, on the state. Such a universal state would be…
While most fundamental interactions in nature are known to be mediated by quantized fields, the possibility has been raised that gravity may behave differently. Making this concept precise enough to test requires consistent models. Here we…
