Many-body dissipative particle dynamics is constructed to exhibit vapour-liquid coexistence, with a sharp interface, and a vapour phase of vanishingly small density. In this form, the model is an unusual example of a soft-sphere liquid with…
The quantum models of a massive scalar particle inside of an open bag generated by a pseudo-Gaussian conformaly flat (1+1) metrics are investigated. The potential of a free moving test particle, in the generated metric, has Gaussian…
Two of us (CM and VV) recently showed how the quantum character of a physical system, in particular the gravitational field, can in principle be witnessed without directly measuring observables of that system, solely by its ability to…
