The Landauer formula provides a general scattering formulation of electrical conduction. Despite its utility, it has been mainly applied to the linear-response regime, and a scattering theory of nonlinear response has yet to be fully…
The interaction of (linearized) gravitation with matter is studied in the causal approach up to the second order of perturbation theory. We consider the generic case and prove that gravitation is universal in the sense that the existence of…
We investigate conservation laws in the quantum mechanics of closed systems. We review an argument showing that exact decoherence implies the exact conservation of quantities that commute with the Hamiltonian including the total energy and…
In this paper, we develop a unified theory for describing Hall effect in various electronic systems based on a pure electron picture (without the hole concept). We argue that the Hall effect is the magnetic field induced symmetry breaking…
A new type of linear response Hall effect is predicted in time-reversal-invariant systems with built-in electric field at zero magnetic field. The Hall response results from a quantum Magnus effect where a self-rotating Bloch electron…
Quantum Hall (QH) states are arguably the most ubiquitous examples of nontrivial topological order, requiring no special symmetry and elegantly characterized by the first Chern number. Their higher dimension generalizations are particularly…
I describe the treatment of gravity as a quantum effective field theory. This allows a natural separation of the (known) low energy quantum effects from the (unknown) high energy contributions. Within this framework, gravity is a well…
Black hole perturbation theory beyond second order is not well understood because typically one defines the meaning of gauge invariance order by order which is ambiguous. In this series of works we therefore developed a new approach which…

A formula for the Hall response of interacting multi-band systems with arbitrary band topology and spin-orbit coupling is derived. The formula is valid at finite frequency, which is relevant for Faraday rotation, and it takes into account…
We theoretically study the Hall effect on interacting $M$-leg ladder systems, comparing different measures and properties of the zero temperature Hall response in the limit of weak magnetic fields. Focusing on $SU(M)$ symmetric interacting…
We study the Hall response of quasi-two-dimensional lattice systems of charged fermions under a weak transverse magnetic field, in the ballistic coherent limit. We identify a setup in which this response vanishes over a wide range of…
The integer quantum Hall effect is analysed using a transport mechanism with a semi-classic wave packages of electrons in this paper. A strong magnetic field perpendicular to a slab separates the electron current into two branches with…
Motivated by the observation of the fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene, we consider the effective field theory of relativistic quantum Hall states. We find that, beside the Chern-Simons term, the effective action also contains a…
We introduce a model of superconductivity and discuss its relation to the quantum Hall-effect. This kind of relation is supported by the well known SQUID results. The concept of pure gauge potential as it is involved in various theoretical…
We develop a linear response theory for materials collectively coupled to a cavity that is valid in all regimes of light-matter coupling, including symmetry-broken phases. We present and compare two different approaches. First, using a…
Nonlinear Maxwell equations are written up to the third-power deviations from a constant-field background, valid within any local nonlinear electrodynamics including QED with a Euler-Heisenberg (EH) effective Lagrangian. The linear electric…
The validity of a model treating the short-range correlations up to the first order is studied by calculating the charge response of an infinite system and comparing the obtained results with those of a Fermi Hypernetted Chain calculation.
