A self-consistent renormalization scheme suitable for the calculation of non-universal quantities in $n$-vector models with pair spin interactions of arbitrary extent has been suggested. The method has been based on the elimination of the…
We calculate curvature perturbations in the scenario in which the curvaton field decays into another scalar field via parametric resonance. As a result of a nonlinear stage at the end of the resonance, standard perturbative calculation…
We revisit the dynamics of the curvaton in detail taking account of effects from thermal environment, effective potential and decay/dissipation rate for general field values and couplings. We also consider the curvature perturbation…
The dynamic emulation of non-linear deterministic computer codes where the output is a time series, possibly multivariate, is examined. Such computer models simulate the evolution of some real-world phenomenon over time, for example models…
The evolution of the curvature perturbation is highly non-trivial for curvaton models with self-interactions and is very sensitive to the parameter values. The final perturbation depends also on the curvaton decay rate $\Gamma$. As a…
Quantum computing has attracted the attention of the scientific community in the past few decades. However, despite some relevant advantages, near-term quantum devices remain severely limited by thermal effects, which induce decoherence and…
We study the dynamics of a quantum Ising chain after the sudden introduction of a non-integrable long-range interaction. Via an exact mapping onto a fully-connected lattice of hard-core bosons, we show that a pre-thermal state emerges and…

We establish a new non-equilibrium scaling regime in the short time evolution of one-dimensional interacting open quantum systems subject to a generic heating mechanism. This dynamical regime is characterized by uncompensated phonon…

We present the first $N$-body simulations that adapt the equations of smoothed particle hydrodynamics to capture the effect of dark matter self-interactions which are too frequent to be resolved explicitly. The relevant energy transfer…
