In this work, low temperature thermodynamic behaviour in the context of dissipative diamagnetism with anomalous coupling is analyzed. We find that finite dissipation substitutes the zero-coupling result of exponential decay of entropy by a…
Organic charge transfer salts exhibit thermal expansion anomalies similar to those found in other strongly correlated electron systems. The thermal expansion can be anisotropic and have a non-monotonic temperature dependence. We show how…

One of the key hallmarks of dense active matter in the liquid, supercooled, and solid phases is so-called equal-time velocity correlations. Crucially, these correlations can emerge spontaneously, i.e., they require no explicit alignment…
We consider finite temperature dynamical correlation functions in the interacting delta-function Bose gas. In the low-temperature limit the asymptotic behaviour of correlation functions can be determined from conformal field theory. In the…
Some analogies between different nonequilibrium heat conduction models, particularly, random walk, discrete variable model, and Boltzmann transport equation with the single relaxation time approximation, have been discussed. We show that…
An approximation for the exchange-correlation energy of reduced-density-matrix-functional theory was recently derived from a study of the homogeneous electron gas (N.N. Lathiotakis, N. Helbig, E.K.U. Gross, Phys. Rev. B 75, 195120 (2007)).…
We consider the probability measure minimizing a free energy functional equal to the sum of a Coulomb interaction, a confinement potential and an entropy term, which arises in the statistical mechanics of Coulomb gases. In the limit where…
In the current density functional theory of linear and nonlinear time-dependent phenomena, the treatment of exchange and correlation beyond the level of the adiabatic local density approximation is shown to lead to the appearance of…
We study the thermal and non-thermal steady state scaling functions and the steady-state dynamics of a model of local quantum criticality. The model we consider, i.e. the pseudogap Kondo model, allows us to study the concept of effective…
We employ the density matrix renormalization group to construct the exact time-dependent exchange correlation potential for an impurity model with an applied transport voltage. Even for short-ranged interaction we find an infinitely…
In this paper, an alternative method to range-separated linear-response time-dependent density-functional theory and perturbation theory is proposed to improve the estimation of the energies of a physical system from the energies of a…
A review of the approximations in any time-dependent density functional calculation of excitation energies is given. The single-pole approximation for the susceptibility is used to understand errors in popular approximations for the…
We consider the problem of preparing thermal equilibrium states at finite temperature on quantum computers. Assuming thermalization, we show that states that are locally at thermal equilibrium can be prepared by evolving adiabatically an…
We prove by means of a renormalization group method that in weakly interacting many-electron systems at half-filling on a periodic hyper-cubic lattice, the free energy density uniformly converges to an analytic function of the coupling…
The observation of coherent quantum transport phenomena in metals and semiconductors is limited by the eventual loss of phase coherence of the conducting electrons. We use the weak localization effect to measure the low-temperature…
We experimentally realize quasistatic adiabatic processes using a single optically-trapped micro- sphere immersed in water whose effective temperature is controlled by an external random electric field. A full energetic characterization of…
