The Quantum Random Energy Model (QREM) is a random matrix of Anderson-type which describes effects of a transversal magnetic field on Derrida's spin glass. The model exhibits a glass phase as well as a classical and a quantum paramagnetic…
We present a detailed study of the quantum site percolation problem on simple cubic lattices, thereby focussing on the statistics of the local density of states and the spatial structure of the single particle wavefunctions. Using the…
A formulation of quantum electrodynamics is proposed, in which the local law of conservation of electric charge serves as the source of the gauge condition. The equations of motion of the gauge variable and the density of the charge…
The quantum Hall ferromagnet at filling fraction $\nu = 1$ has some unusual properties due to the remarkable identity between the topological density of a spin distortion and the associated electrical charge density. We investigate the…
We have developed a Green's function formalism based on the use of an overcomplete semicoherent basis of vortex states, specially devoted to the study of the Hamiltonian quantum dynamics of electrons at high magnetic fields and in an…
In complex systems, it is often the case that the region of interest forms only one part of a much larger system. The idea of joining two different quantum simulations - a high level calculation on the active region of interest, and a low…
Classical surfaces in phase space correspond to quantum states in Hilbert space. Subsystems specify factor spaces of the Hilbert space. An entangled state corresponds semiclassically to a surface that cannot be decomposed into a product of…
Since the seminal work of Anderson, localisation has been recognised as a standard mechanism allowing quantum many-body systems to escape ergodicity. This idea acquired even more prominence in the last decade as it has been argued that…
We investigate the particle and kinetic-energy densities for $N$ non-interacting fermions confined in a local potential. Using Gutzwiller's semi-classical Green function, we describe the oscillating parts of the densities in terms of closed…
We address low-density two-dimensional circular quantum dots with spin-restricted Kohn-Sham density functional theory. By using an exchange-correlation functional that encodes the effects of the strongly-correlated regime (and that becomes…
We study wave function structure for quantum graphs in the chaotic and disordered regime, using measures such as the wave function intensity distribution and the inverse participation ratio. The result is much less ergodicity than expected…
We present results on quantum quenches in systems with a fixed number of particles in a large region. We show that the typical differences between local and global quenches present in systems with regular thermodynamic limit are lacking in…
Quantum localization within an energy-shell of a closed quantum system stands in contrast to the ergodic assumption of Boltzmann, and to the corresponding eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. The familiar case is the real-space "Anderson…
We study the quantum entanglement structure of integer quantum Hall states via the reduced density matrix of spatial subregions. In particular, we examine the eigenstates, spectrum and entanglement entropy (EE) of the density matrix for…
We show that the quantum wavefunction, interpreted as the probability density of finding a single non-localized quantum particle, which evolves according to classical laws of motion, is an intermediate description of a material quantum…
We give a detailed survey of results obtained in the most recent half decade which led to a deeper understanding of the random displacement model, a model of a random Schr\"odinger operator which describes the quantum mechanics of an…
We present a general description of the propagation properties of quantum gravity modified electrodynamics characterized by constitutive relations up to second order in the correction parameter. The effective description corresponds to an…
The paper provides a systematic characterization of quantum ergodic and mixing channels in finite dimensions and a discussion of their structural properties. In particular, we discuss ergodicity in the general case where the fixed point of…
The Wigner function for one and two-mode quantum systems is explicitely expressed in terms of the marginal distribution for the generic linearly transformed quadratures. Then, also the density operator of those systems is written in terms…
