We have studied the formation of bound states in a thermal gas in the context of quantum field theory (QFT). We have considered a scalar QFT with $\varphi^4$ interaction, where $\varphi$ is a scalar particle with mass $m$. We have observed…
We study the thermal properties of quantum field theories (QFT) with three-leg interaction vertices $g\varphi^{3}$ and $gS\varphi^{2}$ ($\varphi$ and $S$ being scalar fields), which constitute the relativistic counterpart of the Yukawa…
The Lindblad equation, as one approach to open quantum systems, describes the density matrix of a particle or a chain of interacting particles, which are in contact with a thermal bath. Still, it is not fully understood yet, how arbitrary…
Entanglement in random states has turned into a useful approach to quantum thermalization and black hole physics. In this article, we refine and extend the `random unitaries framework' to quantum field theories (QFT), and to include…

We present a comprehensive study of the discretized modes of an atomic gas in different conditions of confinement. Starting from the equations of hydrodynamics we derive a closed equation for the velocity field, depending on the adiabatic…
We consider a quantum junction described by a 1+1-dimensional boundary conformal field theory (BCFT). Our analysis focuses on correlations emerging at finite temperature, achieved through the computation of entanglement measures. Our…
A quantity known as the contact plays a fundamental role in quantum many-body systems with short-range interactions. The determination of the temperature dependence of the contact for the unitary Fermi gas of infinite scattering length has…
The thermodynamics framework of an interacting quantum gas trapped by an arbitrary external potential is reviewed. We show that for each confining potential, in the thermodynamic limit, there emerge "generalized" volume and pressure…
Although at temperatures $T\gg \Lambda_{QCD}$ the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is a gas of weakly interacting quasiparticles (modulo long-range magnetism), it is strongly interacting in the regime $T=(1-3) T_c$. As both heavy ion experiments…
In this work, we establish a general theory of phase transitions and quantum entanglement in the equilibrium state at arbitrary temperatures. First, we derived a set of universal functional relations between the matrix elements of two-body…
We formulate thermal quantum field theory on a finite spatial periodic volume undergoing rotation. Traditional compactifications at finite temperature without rotations typically involve ${\mathbb T}^4$ as the space-time manifold within a…
We consider the phase transition in the dual Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature $T$. The phase transition is associated with a change (breaking) of symmetry. The effective mass of the dual gauge field is derived as a function of…
