Feynman's "no-node" theorem states that the conventional many-body ground-state wavefunctions of bosons in the coordinate representation is positive-definite. This implies that time-reversal symmetry cannot be spontaneously broken. In this…

Can high energy physics be simulated by low-energy, non-relativistic, many-body systems, such as ultracold atoms? Such ultracold atomic systems lack the type of symmetries and dynamical properties of high energy physics models: in…
A new approach to the concept of particles and their production in quantum field theory is developed. A local operator describing the current of particle density is constructed for scalar and spinor fields in arbitrary gravitational and…
We deal with the reversible dynamics of coupled quantum and classical systems. Based on a recent proposal by the authors, we exploit the theory of hybrid quantum-classical wavefunctions to devise a closure model for the coupled dynamics in…
We provide a theoretical foundation for the notion of the quantum coherent state of the electrostatic field of a static external charge distribution introduced in a 1998 paper and rederive formulae there for the inner products of a pair of…
We predict that a charge under the influence of a quantum electrodynamic potential exhibits a force-free Aharonov-Bohm effect. The specific system considered in this study is a superconducting charge qubit nonlocally interacting with a…
The nature of charge carriers in strange metals has become a topic of intense current investigation. Recent shot noise measurements in the quantum critical heavy fermion metal YbRh$_2$Si$_2$ revealed a suppression of the Fano factor that…
We study a Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system, in a bounded spatial domain, under Neumann boundary conditions on the electric potential. We allow a nonconstant coupling coefficient. For sufficiently small data, we find infinitely many standing…

The Hamiltonians describing the energy nonconservation in boson and fermion multimode fields under quantum interference have been derived. We show that violation of the energy conservation is accompanied by the nonconservation of momentum,…
The quantum-to-classical transition hinges on the nature of wavefunction collapse, which remains a central controversy in foundational physics. Objective collapse theories aim to modify quantum mechanics by introducing a physical,…
In an exact quantum-mechanical framework, we show that expectation values of the second-quantized electro-magnetic fields in the Coulomb gauge, and in the presence of classical sources, automatically lead to causal and retarded…
We apply wave packet methods to study an ion-trap system in the strong excitation regime imposing neither the rotating wave nor the Lamb-Dicke approximations. By this approach we show the existence of states with restricted phase space…
Quantum theory of geometrically frustrated systems is usually approached as a gauge theory where the local conservation law becomes the Gauss law. Here we show that it can do something fundamentally different: enforce a global conserved…
Quantum optics with giant emitters has shown a new route for the observation and manipulation of non-Markovian properties in waveguide-QED. In this paper we extend the theory of giant atoms, hitherto restricted to the perturbative…
Gauge invariant local creation operators of charged states are introduced and studied in pure gauge theories of the Maxwell type in 2+1D. These states are usually unphysical because of the subsidiary condition imposed on the physical…
We propose a microscopic approach describing the interaction of an ideal gas of hydrogenlike atoms with a weak electromagnetic field. This approach is based on the Green-function formalism and an approximate formulation of the method of…
We develop a Schwinger--Keldysh effective theory for quantum-interference corrections in a two-dimensional electron system in the hydrodynamic regime. Starting from the clean hydrodynamic fixed point, we introduce a minimal random-friction…
We investigate two-loop quantum corrections to non-minimally coupled Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory. The non-minimal gauge interaction represents the magnetic moment interaction between the charged scalar and the electromagnetic field. We show…
