Some quantum critical states cannot be smoothly deformed into each other without either crossing some multicritical points or explicitly breaking certain symmetries even if they belong to the same universality class. This brings up the…
We investigate the effect of both strong and weak potential scattering caused by local impurities and extended (line) defects in the array of Luttinger liquid wires. We find that in both cases a finite range inter-wire interaction…
A heterostructure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_1$ and $l_2$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The problem is investigated in one dimension and the…
The topological quantum number Q of a superconducting or chiral insulating wire counts the number of stable bound states at the end points. We determine Q from the matrix r of reflection amplitudes from one of the ends, generalizing the…
Leveraging topological properties in the response of electromagnetic systems can greatly enhance their potential. Although the investigation of singularity-based electromagnetics and non-Hermitian electronics has considerably increased in…
Stable bound quantum states are ubiquitous in nature. Mostly, they result from the interaction of only pairs of particles, so called two-body interactions, even when large complex many-particle structures are formed. We show that…
We give a rigorous argument that long--range repulsion stabilizes quantum systems; ground states of such quantum systems exist even when the ground state energy is precisely at the ionization threshold. For atomic systems at the critical…
For classical lattice systems, the Dobrushin-Lanford-Ruelle theory of boundary conditions states that the restriction of a global equilibrium state to a subsystem can be obtained as an integral over equilibrium states of the subsystem…
We show that, independently of the boundary conditions, the two phases of the 4-dimensional compact U(1) lattice gauge theory can be characterized by the presence or absence of an ``infinite'' current network, with an appropriate definition…
The properties of scattering phases in quantum dots are analyzed with the help of lattice models. We first derive the expressions relating the different scattering phases and the dot Green functions. We analyze in detail the Friedel sum…
A theory is presented of quantum criticality in open (coupled to reservoirs) itinerant electron magnets, with nonequilibrium drive provided by current flow across the system. Both departures from equilibrium at conventional (equilibrium)…
We consider a general weak perturbation of a non-interacting quantum lattice system with a non-degenerate gapped ground state. We prove that the presence of isolated eigenvalues in the spectrum of the decoupled model leads to the existence…
The multichannel scattering problem for the stationary Schr\"{o}dinger equation on a line with different thresholds at both infinities is investigated. The analytical structure of the Jost solutions and of the transition matrix relating the…
The signature of bound state formation on the lattice is of particular interest in this talk. In the finite volume, where all states have discrete energies, it is rather hard to distinguish between a bound state and a scattering state if…
We study the transport properties of a quantum wire, described by the Tomonaga-Luttinger model, in the presence of a backscattering potential provided by several extended time-dependent impurities (barriers). Employing the B\"…
We study charged particles in three dimensions interacting via a short-range potential in addition to the Coulomb potential. When the Bohr radius and the scattering length are much larger than the potential range, low-energy physics of the…
The effects of a Lorentz symmetry violating background vector on the Aharonov-Casher bound and scattering scenarios is considered. Using an approach based on the self-adjoint extension method, an expression for the bound state energies is…
We evaluate tunneling rates into/from a voltage biased quantum wire containing weak backscattering defect. Interacting electrons in such a wire form a true nonequilibrium state of the Luttinger liquid (LL). This state is created due to…
This work considers the confining and scattering phenomena of electrons in a Lieb lattice subjected to the influence of a rectangular electrostatic barrier. In this setup, hopping amplitudes between nearest neighbors in orthogonal…
We consider one dimensional scattering and show how the presence of a mild positive barrier separating the interaction region from infinity implies that the bound and antibound states are symmetric modulo exponentially small errors in 1/h.…
