We consider a quantum system of fixed size consisting of a regular chain of $n$-level subsystems, where $n$ is finite. Forming groups of $N$ subsystems each, we show that the strength of interaction between the groups scales with $N^{-…

How the mixed eigenstates vary with approaching the semiclassical limit in mixed-type many-body quantum systems is an interesting but still less known question. Here, we address this question in the Dicke model, a celebrated many-body model…
We propose a simple procedure to produce energy eigenstates of a Hamiltonian with discrete eigenvalues. We use ancilla qubits and quantum entanglement to separate an energy eigenstate from the other energy eigenstates. We exhibit a few…
A class of two-qubit states called X-states are increasingly being used to discuss entanglement and other quantum correlations in the field of quantum information. Maximally entangled Bell states and "Werner" states are subsets of them.…

We analyze the eigenstates of a two-dimensional lattice with additional harmonic confinement in the presence of an artificial magnetic field. While the softness of the confinement makes a distinction between bulk and edge states difficult,…
For two dimensional Schroedinger Hamiltonians we formulate boundary conditions that split the Hilbert space according to the chirality of the eigenstates on the boundary. With magnetic fields, and in particular, for Quantum Hall Systems,…
Coherent state path integrals are applied to a many-body problem for non-relativistic electrons in a central potential and an external magnetic field; however, in comparison to previous coherent state path integrals, we definitely fix the…
Quantum dynamics controlled by a time-dependent coupling constant are studied. It is proven that an energy eigenstate expectation value of work done by the system in a quench process cannot exceed the work in the corresponding quasi-static…
We generalize the classical one dimensional Potts model to the case where the symmetry group is a non-Abelian finite group. It turns out that this new model has a quantum nature in that its spectrum of energy eigenstates consists of…

The Hall-resistance curve of a two-dimensional electron system in the presence of a strong perpendicular magnetic field is an example of self-similarity. It reveals plateaus at low temperatures and has a fractal structure. We show that this…
