We show that when there is a sudden transition from a small to a large Fermi surface at a field-induced quantum critical point, similar to what may have been observed in some heavy-fermion compounds, an additional term has to be taken into…
Strongly correlated systems are often associated with an underlying quantum critical point which governs their behavior in the finite temperature phase diagram. Their thermodynamical and transport properties arise from critical fluctuations…
Viewed as approximations to quantum mechanics, classical evolutions can violate the positive-semidefiniteness of the density matrix. The nature of this violation suggests a classification of dynamical systems based on classical-quantum…

We study fractional quantum Hall states in the cylinder geometry with open boundaries. We focus on principal fermionic 1/3 and bosonic 1/2 fractions in the case of hard-core interactions. The gap behavior as a function of the cylinder…
The dissipative quantum mechanics of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and periodic potential has delocalization critical points which correspond to backgrounds for the open string. We study the phase diagram of this system (in…
The Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice is a prime example for a geometrically frustrated spin system. However most experimentally accessible compounds have spatially anisotropic exchange interactions. As a function of this anisotropy,…
We show that, for some semiconductor devices and physical experiments, processes which scatter electrons {\em into} a state $|{\bf k}\rangle$ can contribute strongly to the decay of a nonequilibrium electron occupation of $|{\bf k}\rangle$.…
In these pedagogical notes the diffuson-cooperon perturbation theory of weak localization and mesoscopic phenomena is extended to describe non-equilibrium and nonlinear effects in quantum disordered systems. It is shown how such…
We introduce a diagnostic for quantum thermalization based on mixed-state entanglement. Specifically, given a pure state on a tripartite system $ABC$, we study the scaling of entanglement negativity between $A$ and $B$. For representative…
We reconsider the problem of electrically charged, massless fermions scattering off magnetic monopoles. The interpretation of the outgoing states has long been a puzzle as, in certain circumstances, they necessarily carry fractional quantum…
