We consider the dynamics of a large quantum system of $N$ identical bosons in 3D interacting via a two-body potential of the form $N^{3\beta-1} w(N^\beta(x-y))$. For fixed $0\leq \beta <1/3$ and large $N$, we obtain a norm approximation to…

We investigate an $N$-particle Bose-Hubbard dimer with an additional effective decay term in one of the sites. A mean-field approximation for this non-Hermitian many-particle system is derived, based on a coherent state approximation. The…
The relativistic mean-field theory provides a framework in which the nuclear many-body problem is described as a self-consistent system of nucleons and mesons. In the mean-field approximation, the self-consistent time evolution of the…
