Isolated long-range interacting particle systems appear generically to relax to non-equilibrium states ("quasi-stationary states" or QSS) which are stationary in the thermodynamic limit. A fundamental open question concerns the "robustness"…
A local moment approach is developed for the single-particle excitations of a symmetric Anderson impurity model (AIM), with a soft-gap hybridization vanishing at the Fermi level with a power law r > 0. Local moments are introduced…
In this paper we study in detail the localized wave functions defined in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 76}, 1613 (1994), in connection with the scarring effect of unstable periodic orbits in highly chaotic Hamiltonian system. These functions appear…
This article studies the decoherence induced on a system of two qubits by local interactions with a spin chain with nontrivial internal dynamics (governed by an XY Hamiltonian). Special attention is payed to the transition between two…

In a previous paper (J. Phys. A 36, 11807 (2003)), we introduced the `asymptotic iteration method' for solving second-order homogeneous linear differential equations. In this paper, we study perturbed problems in quantum mechanics and we…
The energy transition towards an increased supply of renewable energy raises concerns that existing electricity grids, built to connect few centralized large power plants with consumers, may become more difficult to control and stabilized…
Ground states of local Hamiltonians can be generally highly entangled: any quantum circuit that generates them (even approximately) must be sufficiently deep to allow coupling (entanglement) between any pair of qubits. Until now this…
Anderson localization is a fundamental phenomenon in disordered quantum systems, where transport is suppressed by wave interference from extensive randomness. Moving beyond traditional multi-impurity scenarios, we investigate…
In this paper the local iterative Lie-Schwinger block-diagonalization method, introduced in [FP], [DFPR1], and [DFPR2] for quantum chains, is extended to higher-dimensional quantum lattice systems with Hamiltonians that can be written as…
In the framework of the algebraic formulation, we discuss and analyse some new features of the local structure of a real scalar quantum field theory in a strongly causal spacetime. In particular we use the properties of the exponential map…
We introduce a one-dimensional plaquette orbital model with a topology of a ladder and alternating interactions between $x$ and $z$ pseudospin components along both the ladder legs and on the rungs. We show that it is equivalent to an…
Subsystems of entangled quantum systems are not traditionally described in a local way. This paper begins to address the issue by constructing an explicit local hidden variable theory for quantum subsystems. The interpretation is based on a…
Local linear instability refers to the linearized discrete operator exhibiting perturbation growth exceeding that of the corresponding continuous linearized problem. In the context of nonlinear entropy-stable discretizations, we argue that…
We explore the cosmological implications of the local limit of nonlocal gravity, which is a classical generalization of Einstein's theory of gravitation within the framework of teleparallelism. An appropriate solution of this theory is the…
We identify new universal properties of the energy eigenstates of chaotic systems with local interactions, which distinguish them both from integrable systems and from non-local chaotic systems. We study the relation between the energy…
We study equilibration of an isolated quantum system by mapping it onto a network of classical oscillators in Hilbert space. By choosing a suitable basis for this mapping, the degree of locality of the quantum system reflects in the…
Motivated by the development of on-going optomechanical experiments aimed at constraining non-local effects inspired by some quantum gravity scenarios, the Hamiltonian formulation of a non-local harmonic oscillator, and its coupling to a…
Domain specific localization of eigenstates has been a persistent observation for systems with local symmetries. The underlying mechanism for this localization behaviour has however remained elusive. We provide here an analysis of locally…
We study properties of eigenfunctions of perturbed systems, given on the eigenbases of unperturbed, integrable systems. For a given pair of perturbed and unperturbed systems, with respect to the energy of each perturbed state, the…
