Results are presented for the quench dynamics of a clean and interacting electron system, where the quench involves varying the strength of the attractive interaction along arbitrary quench trajectories. The initial state before the quench…
A renormalization group theory for a system consisting of coupled superconducting layers as a model for typical high-temperature superconducters is developed. In a first step the electromagnetic interaction over infinitely many layers is…
We have generalized the scattering-matrix theory of multiple Andreev reflections in mesoscopic Josephson junctions to the multi-mode case, and applied it to short superconductor/normal metal/superconductor junctions with diffusive electron…
We demonstrate how resonant pair scattering of correlated electrons above T_c can give rise to pseudogap behavior. This resonance in the scattering T-matrix appears for superconducting interactions of intermediate strength, within the…
We show that a saturable single-frequency elastic T-matrix approach to scattering of light by atoms agrees remarkably well with a master equation description in the regime of unsaturated atoms, or for large separation between the atoms. If…
The dispersion interaction between two point-like particles confined in a dielectric slab between two plates of another dielectric medium is studied within a continuum (Lifshitz) theory. The retarded (Casimir-Polder) interaction at large…
We review recent progress in the theory of electromagnetic response of dirty superconductors subject to microwave radiation. The theory originally developed by Eliashberg in 1970 and soon after that elaborated in a number of publications…
A decade ago, a macroscopic theory for closure relations has been proposed for systems out of Onsager's region. This theory is referred to as the "Thermodynamic Field Theory" (TFT). The aim of the work was to determine the nonlinear…
Crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is a process that creates entanglement between spatially separated electrons and holes. Such entangled pairs have potential applications in quantum information processing, and it is therefore relevant to…
We study the interaction corrections to the transport coefficients in open quantum dots (i.e. dots connected to leads of large conductance $G \gg e^2/\pi\hbar$), via a quantum kinetic equation approach. The effects of all the channels of…
We derive a microscopic effective action for superconducting contacts with arbitrary transmission distribution of conducting channels. Provided fluctuations of the Josephson phase remain sufficiently small our formalism allows to fully…
We present a microscopic theory of the superconducting proximity effect in a semiconducting thin film with spin-orbit interaction ($N_{SO}$) in an external magnetic field. We demonstrate that an effective 1D Hamiltonian which describes…
The formalism of the continuum random-phase approximation theory which treats, without ap- proximations, the continuum part of the single-particle spectrum, is extended to describe charge- exchange excitations. Our approach is…
On the basis of the Keldysh method of non-equilibrium systems, we develop a theory of electron tunneling in normal-metal/superconductor junctions. By using the tunneling Hamiltonian model (being appropriate for the tight-binding systems),…
In this paper we generalise the main result of a recent work by J. L. Cardy and the present authors concerning the bi-partite entanglement entropy between a connected region and its complement. There the expression of the leading order…
A new universality class distinct from the standard Wigner-Dyson ones is identified. This class is realized by putting a metallic quantum dot in contact with a superconductor, while applying a magnetic field so as to make the pairing field…
We describe energy--momentum conservation in relativistic perturbation theory in general FRW backgrounds with causal source terms, such as the presence of cosmic defect networks. We provide a prescription for a linear energy--momentum…
The effects of long-range interactions in quantum transport are still largely unexplored, mainly due to the difficulty of devising efficient embedding schemes. In this work we present a substantial progress in the interacting resonant level…
We develop a systematic self-consistent perturbative expansion for the self energy of Hubbard-like models. The interaction lines in the Feynman diagrams are dynamically screened by the charge fluctuations in the system. Although the formal…
We construct a theory in which the gravitational interaction is described only by torsion, but that generalizes the Teleparallel Theory still keeping the invariance of local Lorentz transformations in one particular case. We show that our…
