Each multiplicative real-valued homomorphism on a quasi-lattice ordered monoid gives rise to a quasi-periodic dynamics on the associated Toeplitz C*-algebra; here we study the KMS equilibrium states of the resulting C*-dynamical system. We…
We present a very simple proof that the $O(n)$ model satisfies a uniform logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) if the positive definite coupling matrix has largest eigenvalue less than $n$. This condition applies in particular to the SK spin…
We introduce a class of states, called minimally entangled typical thermal states (METTS), designed to resemble a typical state of a quantum system at finite temperature with a bias towards classical (minimally entangled) properties. These…
We construct finite-range interactions on $\mathcal{S}^{\mathbb{Z}^2}$, where $\mathcal{S}$ is a finite set, for which the associated equilibrium states (i.e., the shift-invariant Gibbs states) fail to converge as temperature goes to zero.…
To any periodic, unital and full C*-dynamical system (A, \alpha, R) an invertible operator s acting on the Banach space of trace functionals of the fixed point algebra is canonically associated. KMS states correspond to positive…
It is by now well-known that ground states of gapped one-dimensional (1d) quantum-many body systems with short-range interactions can be studied efficiently using classical computers and matrix product state techniques. A corresponding…
We construct a quantum statistical mechanical system $(A,s)$ analogous to the systems constructed by Bost-Connes and Connes-Marcolli in the case of Shimura varieties. Along the way, we define a new Bost-Connes system for number fields which…
We discuss some recent results connected with the properties of temperature states of quantum disordered systems. This analysis falls within the natural framework of operator algebras. Among the results quoted here, we recall some ergodic…
We extend the theory of perturbations of KMS states to some class of unbounded perturbations using noncommutative Lp-spaces. We also prove certain stability of the domain of the Modular Operator associated to a ||.||p-continuous state. This…
Within the framework of relativistic quantum field theory, a novel method is established which allows to distinguish non-equilibrium states admitting locally a thermodynamic interpretation. The basic idea is to compare these states with…
The structure of KMS states of Toeplitz algebras associated to finite graphs equipped with the gauge action is determined by an Huef--Laca--Raeburn--Sims. Their results imply that extremal KMS states of type I correspond to vertices, while…
We consider planar Coulomb systems consisting of a large number $n$ of repelling point charges in the low temperature regime, where the inverse temperature $\beta$ grows at least logarithmically in $n$ as $n \longrightarrow \infty$, i.e.,…
We continue the analysis of the set of locally normal KMS states w.r.t. the translation group for a local conformal net A of von Neumann algebras on the real line. In the first part we have proved the uniqueness of KMS state on every…
We study a small quantum system (e.g. a simplified model for an atom or molecule) interacting with two bosonic or fermionic reservoirs (say, photon or phonon fields). We show that the combined system has a family of stationary states,…
The linear scalar quantum field, propagating in a globally hyperbolic spacetime, is a relatively simple physical model that allows us to study many aspects in explicit detail. In this review we focus on the theory of thermal equilibrium…
We continue the investigation of kinetic models of a system in contact via stochastic interactions with several spatially homogeneous thermal reservoirs at different temperatures. Considering models different from those investigated in…
We discuss the computational efficiency of the finite temperature simulation with the minimally entangled typical thermal states (METTS). To argue that METTS can be efficiently represented as matrix product states, we present an analytic…
We study the equilibrium simplex of Nica-Pimsner algebras arising from product systems of finite rank on the free abelian semigroup. First we show that every equilibrium state has a convex decomposition into parts parametrized by ideals on…
Maximally entangled states (MES) represent a valuable resource in quantum information processing. In $N$-qubit systems the MES are $N$-GHZ states, i.e. the collection of $\ket{GHZ_N}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\ket{00...0}+\ket{11...1})$ and its…
We formulate a mixed-state analog of the NLTS conjecture [FH14] by asking whether there exist topologically-ordered systems for which the thermal Gibbs state for constant temperature is globally-entangled in the sense that it cannot even be…
