It is demonstrated how all the mechanical equations of classical electrodynamics (CEM) may be derived from only Coulomb's inverse square force law, special relativity and Hamilton's Principle. The instantaneous nature of the Coulomb force…

In a recent work [D. Malpetti and T. Roscilde, arXiv:1605.04223] we have shown that in quantum many-body systems at finite temperature, two-point correlations can be formally separated into a thermal part, and a quantum part -- and that…
Quantum systems coupled to environments exhibit intricate dynamics. The master equation gives a Markov approximation of the dynamics, allowing for analytic and numerical treatments. It is ubiquitous in theoretical and applied quantum…
Simulating quantum many-body dynamics is important both for fundamental understanding of physics and practical applications for quantum information processing. Therefore, classical simulation methods have been developed so far.…

In a previous article [J. Chem. Phys. 138, 084108 (2013)], we showed that the $t\to 0_+$ limit of ring-polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) rate-theory is also the $t\to 0_+$ limit of a new type of quantum flux-side time-correlation function,…
