The laws of thermodynamics require any initial macroscopic inhomogeneity in extended many-body systems to be smoothed out by the time evolution through the activation of transport processes. In generic, non-integrable quantum systems,…
We investigate how the concepts of optimal control of measurables of a system with a time dependent Hamiltonian may be mixed with the level set technique to keep the desired entity invariant. We derive sets of equations for this purpose and…

The reversible nature of thermodynamical cycles is an idealisation based on the assumption of perfect quasi-static dynamics. As a consequence of this assumption, ideal engines operate at the maximum efficiency but have zero power. Realistic…
Silicene (a monolayer of silicon atoms) is a quantum spin-Hall insulator, which undergoes a topological phase transition into other insulators by applying external field such as electric field, photo-irradiation and antiferromagnetic order.…

Most classical mechanical systems are based on dynamical variables whose values are real numbers. Energy conservation is then guaranteed if the dynamical equations are phrased in terms of a Hamiltonian function, which then leads to…
We define a numerical scheme that allows to approximate a given Hamiltonian by an effective one, by requiring several constraints determined by exact properties of generic ''short range'' Hamiltonians. In this way the standard lattice fixed…
