A spin system on a lattice can usually be modelled at large scales by an effective quantum field theory. A key mathematical result relating the two descriptions is the quantum central limit theorem, which shows that certain spin observables…
Further properties of a recently proposed higher order infinite spin particle model are derived. Infinitely many classically equivalent but different Hamiltonian formulations are shown to exist. This leads to a condition of uniqueness in…
Correlation functions of ferromagnetic spin systems satisfying a Lee-Yang property are studied. It is shown that, for classical systems in a non-vanishing uniform external magnetic field $h$, the connected correlation functions decay…
We study a large class of models of two-dimensional quantum lattice systems with continuous symmetries, and we prove a general McBryan-Spencer-Koma-Tasaki theorem concerning algebraic decay of correlations. We present applications of our…
An unstable quantum state generally decays following an exponential law, as environmental decoherence is expected to prevent the decay products from recombining to reconstruct the initial state. Here we show the existence of deviations from…
The decoherence of a localized electron spin in a lattice of nuclear spins is an important problem for potential solid-state implementations of a quantum computer. We demonstrate that even at high fields, virtual electron spin-flip…
We provide an analysis of the correlation properties of spin and fermionic systems on a lattice evolving according to open system dynamics generated by a local primitive Liouvillian. We show that if the Liouvillian has a spectral gap which…
Quantum systems lose coherence upon interaction with the environment and tend towards classical states. Quantum coherence is known to exponentially decay in time so that macroscopic quantum superpositions are generally unsustainable. In…
For the last decade quantum memories have been intensively studied for potential applications to quantum information and communications using atomic and ionic ensembles. With the importance of a multimode storage capability in quantum…
In the setting of lattice gauge theories with finite (possibly non-Abelian) gauge groups at weak coupling, we prove exponential decay of correlations for a wide class of gauge invariant functions, which in particular includes arbitrary…
We consider the initial value problem for a three-component system of quadratic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations with mass resonance in two space dimensions. Under a suitable condition on the coefficients of the nonlinearity, we will show…
In the O(3) sigma-model description of gapped spin systems, S=1 magnons can only decay into three lower energy magnons. We argue that the symmetry of the quantum spin Hamiltonian often allows decay into two magnons, and compute this decay…
In this work, we consider i.i.d. random perturbations of contracting Lorenz maps sufficiently close to a Rovella parameter. We prove that the quenched correlations of the random dynamical system decay exponentially.
We consider a one-dimensional lattice system of unbounded, real-valued spins with arbitrary strong, quadratic, finite-range interaction. We show the equivalence of the grand canonical ensemble (gce) and the canonical ensemble (ce), in the…
We consider N initially disentangled spins, embedded in a ring or d-dimensional lattice of arbitrary geometry, which interact via some long--range Ising--type interaction. We investigate relations between entanglement properties of the…
We present rigorous upper and lower bounds on the emptiness formation probability for the ground state of a spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg XXZ quantum spin system. For a $d$-dimensional system we find a rate of decay of the order $\exp(-c L^{d+1})$…
Computer simulations of decoherence in quantum spin systems require the solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation for interacting quantum spin systems over extended periods of time. We use exact diagonalization, Chebyshev…
Quantum-classical transitions have long attracted much attention. We study such transitions in quantum spin-($j$,1/2) systems at thermal equilibrium. Unlike the previous work [Phys. Rev. A 73, 064302 (2006)], it is found that the threshold…
In this article we consider a lattice system of unbounded continuos spins. Otto & Reznikoff used the two-scale approach to show that exponential decay of correlations yields a logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI) with uniform constant in…
For pure states of multi-dimensional quantum lattice systems, which in a convenient computational basis have amplitude and phase structure of sufficiently rapid decorrelation, we construct high fidelity approximations of relatively low…
