The notions of pure states and inherent structures, i.e. stable configurations against 1-spin flip are discussed. We explain why these different concepts accidentally coincide in mean-field models with infinite connectivity and present an…

We investigate the pairing physics of a three-component spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas in two spatial dimensions. The three atomic hyperfine states of the system are coupled by the recently realized synthetic spin-orbit coupling (SOC), which…

We define mixed states associated with submanifolds with probability densities in quantizable closed K{\"a}hler manifolds. Then, we address the problem of comparing two such states via their fidelity. Firstly, we estimate the sub-fidelity…

In this paper we provide theoretical results that relate steady states of continuous and discrete models arising from biology.

We study the transformation of maximally entangled states under the action of Lorentz transformations in a fully relativistic setting. By explicit calculation of the Wigner rotation, we describe the relativistic analog of the Bell states as…

A two-dimensional spin-up ideal Fermi gas interacting attractively with a spin-down impurity in the continuum undergoes, at zero temperature, a first-order phase transition from a polaron to a dimeron state. Here we study a similar system…

Complementarity relations for wave-particle duality are saturated only for pure, single-quanton, quantum states. For a completely incoherent state, it is known that wave and particle quantifiers can reach zero, and hence no information…

The problem of stability of saturated and non-saturated ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model is considered in terms of the one-particle Green's functions. Approximations by Edwards and Hertz and some versions of the self-consistent…

The study of local models using finite shared randomness originates from the consideration about the cost of classically simulating entanglement in composite quantum systems. We construct explicitly two families of local-hidden-state (LHS)…

We have discovered a class of dynamically stable coherent states for motion on the half-line. The regularization of the half-line boundary and the consequent quantum motion are expounded within the framework of covariant affine…

The unusual electronic properties of the quantum spin Hall or Chern insulator become manifest in the form of robust edge states when samples with boundaries are studied. In this work, we ask if and how the topologically non-trivial…

This is an introduction to the theory of one-dimensional disordered systems and products of random matrices, confined to the 2 by 2 case. The notion of impurity model--- that is, a system in which the interactions are highly localised---…

In this work we present a set of virial relations for many electron systems coupled to field modes, described by the Pauli--Fierz Hamiltonian in dipole approximation and using length gauge. Currently, there is growing interest in solutions…

Decomposition of any N-partite state (density operator) into clusters (that do not overlap) is studied in detail with a view to learn as much as possible about the correlations implied by the state. The Wootters-Mermin theorem, stating that…

The degree of nonclassicality of states of a field mode is analysed considering both phase-space and distance-type measures of nonclassicality. By working out some general examples, it is shown explicitly that the phase-space measure is…

We consider the problem of a single level quantum dot coupled to the edge of a one-dimensional Luttinger liquid wire by both a hopping term and electron-electron interactions. Using bosonization and Coulomb gas mapping of the Anderson-Yuval…

The quest to realize topological band structures in artificial matter is strongly focused on lattice systems, and only quantum Hall physics is known to appear naturally also in the continuum. In this letter, we present a proposal based on a…

We study the interplay between symmetry representations of the physical and virtual space on the class of tensor network states for critical spins systems known as field tensor network states (fTNS). These are by construction infinite…

We study Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) with continuous virtual symmetries, i.e., symmetries in the virtual degrees of freedom, through an elementary class of models with SU(2) symmetry. Discrete symmetries of that kind have…

We experimentally address the significance of fidelity as a figure of merit in quantum state reconstruction of discrete (DV) and continuous variable (CV) quantum optical systems. In particular, we analyze the use of fidelity in quantum…
