Recently, it has been shown that the ground-state energy of a quantum many-body system can be written in terms of cumulants. In this paper we show that the energies of excited states can be expressed similarly. These representations are…
We studied a vertical ``quantum dot molecule'', where one of the dots is occupied with electrons and the other with holes. We find that different phases occur in the ground state, depending on the carrier density and the interdot distance.…
Revivals of initial non-equilibrium states is an ever-present concern for the theory of dynamic thermalization in many-body quantum systems. Here we consider a nonintegrable lattice of interacting spins 1/2 and show how to construct a…
We examine the exact equation of motion for the relaxation of populations of strongly correlated electrons after a nonequilibrium excitation by a pulsed field, and prove that the populations do not change when the Green's functions have no…
A detailed analysis of the electro-optical response of single as well as coupled semiconductor quantum dots is presented. This is based on a realistic ---i.e., fully tridimensional--- description of Coulomb-correlated few-electron states,…
We derive a many-site version of the non-Markovian time-convolutionless polaron master equation [S. Jang et al., J. Chem Phys. 129, 101104 (2008)] to describe electronic excitation dynamics in multichromophoric systems. By treating…
We revisit the problem of quantum localization of many-body states in a quantum dot and the associated problem of relaxation of an excited state in a finite correlated electron system. We determine the localization threshold for the…
The ground state of a cavity-electron system in the ultrastrong coupling regime is characterized by the presence of virtual photons. If an electric current flows through this system, the modulation of the light-matter coupling induced by…
In quantum dots or molecules with vibrational degrees of freedom the electron-vibron coupling renormalizes the electronic charging energy. For sufficiently strong coupling, the renormalized charging energy can become negative. Here, we…

We study electronic structures of quasi-two-dimensional finite electron systems in high magnetic fields. The solutions in the fractional quantum Hall regime are interpreted as quantum liquids of electrons and off-electron vortices. The…
Using unitary transformations, we express the Kondo lattice Hamiltonian in terms of fermionic operators that annihilate the ground state of the interacting system and that represent the best possible approximations to the actual charged…
The scattering phase shift of an electron transferred through a quantum dot is studied within a model Hamiltonian, accounting for both the electron--electron interaction in the dot and a finite temperature. It is shown that, unlike in an…
