Unconventional metallic states which do not support well defined single-particle excitations can arise near quantum phase transitions as strong quantum fluctuations of incipient order parameters prevent electrons from forming coherent…

We present a consistent thermodynamic theory for the resonant level model in the wide band limit, whose level energy is driven slowly by an external force. The problem of defining 'system' and 'bath' in the strong coupling regime is…

We investigate a kinetic model for compressible non-ideal fluids [DOI:10.1103/PhysRevE.102.020103]. The model imposes the local thermodynamic pressure through a rescaling of the particles velocities, which accounts for both long- and…

We provide a very simple proof for the existence of the thermodynamic limit for the quenched specific pressure for classical and quantum disordered systems on a $d$-dimensional lattice, including spin glasses. We develop a method which…
We propose a scheme for a quantum thermal machine made by atoms interacting with a single non-equilibrium electromagnetic field. The field is produced by a simple configuration of macroscopic objects held at thermal equilibrium at different…
Given the considerable theoretical challenges in understanding strongly coupled metals and non-Fermi liquids, it is valuable to have a framework to understand properties of metals that are universal, in the sense that they must hold in any…
The exotic nature of many strongly correlated materials at reasonably high temperatures, for instance cuprate superconductors in their normal state, has lead to the suggestion that such behavior occurs within a quantum critical region where…
