The use of multi-particle entangled states has the potential to drastically increase the sensitivity of atom interferometers and atomic clocks. The Twist-and-Turn (TNT) Hamiltonian can create multi-particle entanglement much more rapidly…

The recrossing correction to the transition state theory estimate of a thermal rate can be difficult to calculate when the energy barrier is flat. This problem arises, for example, in polymer escape if the polymer is long enough to stretch…
We compute instanton corrections to the partition function of sine-Liouville (SL) theory, which provides a worldsheet description of two-dimensional string theory in a non-trivial tachyon background. We derive these corrections using a…
Processes leading to anomalous fluctuations in turbulent flows, referred to as intermittency, are still challenging. We consider cascade trajectories through scales as realizations of a stochastic Langevin process for which multiplicative…
The random phase approximation (RPA) is exact for the exchange energy of a many-electron ground state, but RPA makes the correlation energy too negative by about 0.5 eV/electron. That large short-range error, which tends to cancel out of…
We devise a {\sl non--perturbative} method, called {\sl Parametric Perturbation Theory} (PPT), which is alternative to the ordinary perturbation theory. The method relies on a principle of simplicity for the observable solutions, which are…
We introduce an effective field theory to study \emph{indirect} mixing of two fields induced by their couplings to a common decay channel in a medium. The extension of the method of Lee, Oehme and Yang, the cornerstone of analysis of CP…

This paper presents a method to identify an uncertain linear time-invariant (LTI) prediction model for tube-based Robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC). The uncertain model is determined from a given state-input dataset by formulating and…
Model predictive control (MPC) samples a generally unknown and complicated feedback law point by point. The solution for the current state $x$ contains, however, more information than only the optimal signal $u$ for this particular state.…
Particulate flows have been largely studied under the simplifying assumptions of one-way coupling regime where the disperse phase do not react-back on the carrier fluid. In the context of turbulent flows, many non trivial phenomena such as…

We derive a correct first-order perturbation theory in electromagnetism for cases where an interface between two anisotropic dielectric materials is slightly shifted. Most previous perturbative methods give incorrect results for this case,…
