A two-dimensional array of quantum dots in a magnetic field is considered. The electrons in the quantum dots are described as unitary random matrix ensembles. The strength of the magnetic field is such that there is half a flux quantum per…
Distance to Uncontrollability is a crucial concept in classical control theory. Here, we introduce Quantum Distance to Uncontrollability as a measure how close a universal quantum system is to a non-universal one. This allows us to provide…
The f-sum rule is introduced and its applications to electronic and vibrational modes are discussed. A related integral over the intra-band part of sigma(omega) which is also valid for correlated electrons, becomes just the kinetic energy…
Except for the universe, all quantum systems are open, and according to quantum state diffusion theory, many systems localize to wave packets in the neighborhood of phase space points. This is due to decoherence from the interaction with…
This paper is the continuation of a previous one [L. {\v{S}}amaj and B. Jancovici, 2007 {\it J. Stat. Mech.} P02002]; for a nearly classical quantum fluid in a half-space bounded by a plain plane hard wall (no image forces), we had…
We show that finite system-reservoir coupling imposes a distinct quantum limit on the performance of a non-equilibrium quantum heat engine. Even in the absence of quantum friction along the isentropic strokes, finite system-reservoir…
When the chemical potential of an electron system has a discontinuity at a density $n^{*}$, the system is said to be incompressible and a finite energy is required to create mobile charges in the bulk of the system. The quantum Hall effect…
Measurement is one of the key concepts which discriminates classical and quantum physics. Unlike classical systems, a measurement on a quantum system typically alters it drastically as a result of wave function collapse. Here we suggest…
We generalized the conventional concept of q-plate, allowing in its definition non linear functions of the azimuthal coordinate, and simulated the resulting fields of applying this kind of element to uniformly polarized input beams, both in…
Two new QCD sum rules for nucleon tensor charge are derived from a mixed correlator of spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 nucleon interpolating fields. These sum rules are analyzed along with a sum rule obtained from the usual correlator of a general…
The estimation of the density matrix of a $k$-level quantum system is studied when the parametrization is given by the real and imaginary part of the entries and they are estimated by independent measurements. It is established that the…

We outline an approach that streamlines considerably the construction and analysis of well-behaved nonlinear quantum dynamics, with completely positive extensions to entangled systems. A few notes are added on the issue of quantum…
Recently, a longitudinal sum rule for the electric polarizability of nuclei was used to revise a relativistic correction in a dipole sum rule for the polarizability (nucl-th/9802011). This revision is shown to be wrong because of neglecting…

Results are presented for the quench dynamics of a clean and interacting electron system, where the quench involves varying the strength of the attractive interaction along arbitrary quench trajectories. The initial state before the quench…
Quantum measurement is universal for quantum computation. This universality allows alternative schemes to the traditional three-step organisation of quantum computation: initial state preparation, unitary transformation, measurement. In…
