We analyse the dynamical response of a range of 3D Kitaev quantum spin-liquids, using lattice models chosen to explore the different possible low-energy spectra for gapless Majorana fermions, with either Fermi surfaces, nodal lines or Weyl…
We present new trial wave-functions which include 3-body correlations into the backflow coordinates and a 4-body symmetric potential. We show that our wavefunctions lower the energy enough to stabilize the ground state energies of normal…
We have studied the structure of $^4$He droplets doped with magnesium atoms using density functional theory. We have found that the solvation properties of this system strongly depend on the size of the $^4$He droplet. For small drops, Mg…
New techniques, both for generating and detecting turbulence in the helium superfluids 3He-B and 4He, have recently given insight in how turbulence is started, what the dissipation mechanisms are, and how turbulence decays when it appears…
We implement manifestly microscopic many-body methods to study the dynamics of atomic impurities in a host quantum fluid, specifically $^4$He. Our investigations are motivated by experiments of muonium atoms within $^4$He with the goal of…
A first step toward a universal nuclear energy density functional based on low-momentum interactions is taken using the density matrix expansion (DME) of Negele and Vautherin. The DME is adapted for non-local momentum-space potentials and…
Instead of solving Dirac (or Klein-Gordon) equation for a many body system, in this paper a variational method has been used to investigate the properties of two dimensional (2D) strongly interacting fermions and the results have been…

Motivated by recent experiments, we study normal-phase rotating He-3 droplets within Density Functional Theory in a semi-classical approach. The sequence of rotating droplet shapes as a function of angular momentum are found to agree with…
The dynamical atom/molecule projection, recently used to probe fermion pairing, is fast compared to collective fermion times, but slow on the Feshbach resonance width scale. Theory of detuning-induced dynamics of molecules coupled to…
We discuss the origin of topological defects in phase transitions and analyze their role as a "diagnostic tool" in the study of the non-equilibrium dynamics of symmetry breaking. Homogeneous second order phase transitions are the focus of…
We study a finite element approximation of a coupled fluid-structure interaction consisting of a three-dimensional incompressible viscous fluid governed by the unsteady Stokes equations and a two-dimensional elastic plate. To avoid the use…

We investigate by Molecular-Dynamics simulations the fast mobility - the rattling amplitude of the particles temporarily trapped by the cage of the neighbors - in mildly supercooled states of dense molecular (linear trimers) and atomic…
Recent neutron scattering experiments on 3He films have observed a zero-sound mode, its dispersion relation and its merging with -and possibly emerging from- the particle-hole continuum. Here we address the study of the excitations in the…
We studied the statistical properties of the HI-to-H$_2$ transition observed in absorption in the local diffuse and multiphase ISM to identify the physical processes controlling the probability of occurrence of any line of sight. The…

The effect of three-body interatomic contributions in the equation of state of 4He are investigated. A recent two-body potential together with the Cohen and Murrell (Chem. Phys. Lett. 260, 371 (1996)) three-body potential are applied to…
