The strong connection between correlations and quantum thermodynamics raises a natural question about the preparation of correlated quantum states from two copies of a thermal qubit. In this work we study the specific forms of allowed and…
An effective formula for the Bergman kernel on $\mathbb{H}_{\gamma} = \{|z_1|^\gamma < |z_2| < 1 \}$ is obtained for rational $\gamma = \frac{m}{n} >1$. The formula depends on arithmetic properties of $\gamma$, which uncovers new symmetries…
A theory of thermal transport in a two-channel Kondo system, such as the one formed by a small quantum dot coupled to two leads and to a larger dot, is formulated. The interplay of the two screening constants allows an exploration of the…
We show how to measure the order-two Renyi entropy of many-body states of spinful fermionic atoms in an optical lattice in equilibrium and non-equilibrium situations. The proposed scheme relies on the possibility to produce and couple two…
Quantum thermometry aims to measure temperature in nanoscale quantum systems, paralleling classical thermometry. However, temperature is not a quantum observable, and most theoretical studies have therefore concentrated on analyzing…
This paper presents a unified perspective on the results of two recent works (C. Buragohain and S. Sachdev cond-mat/9811083 and S. Sachdev cond-mat/9810399) along with additional background. We describe the low frequency, non-zero…
In this work, we investigate the behavior of Regge trajectories in the context of quantum field theory at finite temperature. For this purpose, we employ the $\lambda \phi^3$ model. We first compute the Regge trajectories at zero…
A candidate for a consistent steady state thermodynamics is constructed for a radiation field in vacuum sandwiched by two black bodies of different temperatures. Because of the collisionless nature of photons, a steady state of a radiation…
We explore order in low angle grain boundaries (LAGBs) embedded in a two-dimensional crystal at thermal equilibrium. Symmetric LAGBs subject to a periodic Peierls potential undergo, with increasing temperatures, a thermal depinning…
We investigate the steady state of heat conduction in general relativity using a variational approach for two-fluid dynamics. We adopt coordinates based on the Landau-Lifschitz observer because it allows us to describe thermodynamics with…
We consider thermodynamic properties, e.g. specific heat, magnetic susceptibility, of alternating Heisenberg spin chains. Due to a hidden Ising symmetry these chains can be decomposed into a set of finite chain fragments. The problem of…
The meaning and evolution of the notion of "temperature" (which is a key concept for the condensed and gaseous matter theories) are addressed from the different points of view. The concept of temperature turns out to be much more…
A strongly non-integrable system is expected to satisfy the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, which states that the expectation value of an observable in an energy eigenstate is the same as the thermal value. This must be revised if the…
We propose an operational definition for the local temperature of a quantum field employing Unruh-DeWitt detectors, as used in the study of the Unruh and Hawking effects. With this definition, an inhomogeneous quantum system in equilibrium…
In this article, we address the problem of how temperature of a quantum system is observed. By proposing a thought experiment, we argue that temperature must be conceived as an operator and its measurement must necessarily accompany a…
We consider the Schrodinger operator in n-dimensional rectangular domains with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions on the faces and study the constraints on the potential imposed by fixing the spectrum of the operator.We study…
Let $d \geq 2$, $\alpha \in (0,2)$, and $X$ be the rectilinear $\alpha$-stable process on $\mathbb{R}^d$. We first present a geometric characterization of an open subset $D\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ so that the part process $X^D$ of $X$ in $D$…

In the study of thermalization in finite isolated quantum systems, an inescapable issue is the definition of temperature. We examine and compare different possible ways of assigning temperatures to energies or equivalently to eigenstates in…
