We demonstrate that quantum coherence can be generated by the interplay of coupling to an incoherent environment and kinetic processes. This joint effect even occurs in a repulsively interacting fermionic system initially prepared in an…
A perturbative treatment of reduced density operators of quantum subsystems is implemented in the same spirit as Fermi Golden Rule for scattering. Analytic expressions for linear entropy (a measure of purity loss, and in some cases of…

Gas in the central regions of cool-core clusters and other massive halos has a short cooling time ($\lesssim1~\mathrm{Gyr}$). Theoretical models predict that this gas is susceptible to multiphase condensation, in which cold gas is expected…
We consider a generic two-dimensional system of fermionic particles with attractive interactions and no disorder. If time-reversal symmetry is absent, it is possible to obtain incompressible insulating states in addition to the superfluid…
By selectively probing the center of a trapped gas, we measure the local, or homogeneous, contact of a unitary Fermi gas as a function of temperature. Tan's contact, C, is proportional to the derivative of the energy with respect to the…

We study the one-dimensional Fermi gas subject to dissipative reactions. The dynamics is governed by the quantum master equation, where the Hamiltonian describes coherent motion of the particles, while dissipation accounts for irreversible…
We describe the decoherence process induced on a two-level quantum system in direct interaction with a non-equilibrium environment. The non-equilibrium feature is represented by a non-stationary random function corresponding to the…
The second and third order coherence functions $g^{(n)}(0) (n=2 {\rm and} 3)$ of an exciton-polariton condensate is measured and compared to the theory. Contrary to an ideal photon laser, deviation from unity in the second and third order…
Recent experiments have used scattering to map the flow of electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas. Among other things, the data from these experiments show perseverance of regular interference fringes beyond the kinematic thermal…
We study the build up of quantum coherence between two Bose-Einstein condensates which are initially in mixed states. We consider in detail the two cases where each condensate is initially in a thermal or a Poisson distribution of atom…
