Quantum deformed potentials arise naturally in quantum mechanical systems of one bosonic coordinate coupled to $N_f$ Grassmann valued fermionic coordinates, or to a topological Wess-Zumino term. These systems decompose into sectors with a…
Majorization effect on some entropic functionals, such as von-Neumann, Shannon, atomic Wehrl and R\'enyi entropies are investigated of a V-type three-level atom, which interacts with a coherent field in a resonant cavity. Fidelity, purity…
In contrast with the 3D result, the Beth-Uhlenbeck (BU) formula in 1D contains an extra -1/2 term. The origin of this -1/2 term is explained using a spectral density approach. To be explicit, a delta-function potential is used to show that…
The ring-shaped Hartmann potential $ V = \eta \sigma^{2} \epsilon_{0} \left( \frac{2 a_{0}}{r} - \frac{\eta a_{0}^{2}}{r^{2} sin^{2} \theta} \right) $ was introduced in quantum chemistry to describe ring-shaped molecules like benzene. In…
The basic aspects of both Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) and nonextensive statistical mechanics can be seen through three different stages. First, the proposal of an entropic functional ($S_{BG} =-k\sum_i p_i \ln p_i$ for the BG formalism) with the…
We apply the Wigner function formalism to partial Bell-state analysis using polarization entanglement produced in parametric down conversion. Two-photon statistics at a beam-splitter are reproduced by a wavelike description with zeropoint…
The statistical mechanics characterization of a finite subsystem embedded in an infinite system is a fundamental question of quantum physics. Nevertheless, a full closed form { for all required entropic measures} does not exist in the…

We discuss shape (Pomeranchuk) instabilities of the Fermi surface of a two-dimensional Fermi system using bosonization. We consider in detail the quantum critical behavior of the transition of a two dimensional Fermi fluid to a nematic…
We bosonize the long-wavelength excitations of interacting fermions in arbitrary dimension by directly applying a suitable Hubbard-Stratonowich transformation to the Grassmannian generating functional of the fermionic correlation functions.…
For the general class of quasifree fermionic right mover/left mover systems over the infinitely extended two-sided discrete line introduced in [8] within the algebraic framework of quantum statistical mechanics, we study the von Neumann…
We show that, for fermionic atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice, the fraction of atoms in doubly occupied sites is a highly non-monotonic function of temperature. We demonstrate that this property persists even in the presence of…
The partition function of a bosonic Riemann gas is given by the Riemann zeta function. We assume that the hamiltonian of this gas at a given temperature $\beta^{-1}$ has a random variable $\omega$ with a given probability distribution over…
The energy spectra of atomic ions are re-examined from the point of view of Thomas-Fermi scaling relations. For the first ionization potential, which sets the energy scale for the true discrete spectrum, Thomas-Fermi theory predicts the…
A Kappa distribution function applicable to systems comprising mixed fermions and bosons has been developed through the thermodynamic Gibbs potential utilizing the quantum versions of the Olbert kappa distributions. The generalised…
We consider quantum algebras of observables associated with subregions in theories of Einstein gravity coupled to matter in the $G_N\rightarrow 0$ limit. When the subregion is spatially compact or encompasses an asymptotic boundary, we…
Explicit formulas for the zeta functions $\zeta_\alpha (s)$ corresponding to bosonic ($\alpha =2$) and to fermionic ($\alpha =3$) quantum fields living on a noncommutative, partially toroidal spacetime are derived. Formulas for the most…
We examine the quantization of the motion of two charged vortices in a Ginzburg--Landau theory for the fractional quantum Hall effect recently proposed by the first two authors. The system has two second-class constraints which can be…
We take the view that the standard von Neumann definition, in which the entropy $S^{vN}$ of a pure state is zero, is in evident conflict with the statement of the second law that the entropy of the universe $S_{univ}$ increases in…
We find examples of duality among quantum theories that are related to arithmetic functions by identifying distinct Hamiltonians that have identical partition functions at suitably related coupling constants or temperatures. We are led to…
