Free classical particles have well-defined momentum and position, while free quantum particles have well-defined momentum but a position fully delocalized over the sample volume. We develop a many-body formalism based on wave-packet…
We consider the problem of relaxation in a one-dimensional system of interacting electrons. In the limit of weak interactions, we calculate the decay rate of a single-electron excitation, accounting for the nonlinear dispersion. The leading…
A non-equilibrium plasma was studied using classical electrodynamic field theory. Non-linear interaction terms contribute to a finite lifetime for the dressed electrodynamic field. The lifetime exhibits a $\sim n^{-1} T_{e}^{3/2}…
The formalism of Kohn and Sham uses a specific (model) hamiltonian which highly simplifies the many-electron problem to that of noninteracting fermions. The theorem of Hohenberg and Kohn tells us that, for a given ground state density, this…
Using a time-resolved phonon absorption technique, we have measured the specific heat of a two-dimensional electron system in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime. For filling factors $\nu = 5/3, 4/3, 2/3, 3/5, 4/7, 2/5$ and 1/3 the…
We develop a systematic theory of the Hall effect in Q1D conductors in both weak and strong magnetic fields for a model where the electron relaxation time varies over the Fermi surface. At high temperatures, the Hall coefficient saturates…

Large-scale simulations of the wave equation in electromagnetism, seismology, and acoustics, can be solved efficiently by finite difference methods. The accuracy of these numerical solutions usually depends on the minimization of…
The simulation of non-equilibrium electron distributions is essential for capturing light-metal interactions and therefore the study of photoabsorption, photocatalysis, laser ablation, and many other phenomena. Current methodologies, such…
The dynamical interplay between electron-electron interactions and electron-phonon coupling is investigated within the Anderson-Holstein model, a minimal model for open quantum systems that embody these effects. The influence of phonons on…
The main features of a generic boson-fermion scenario for electron pairing in a many-body correlated fermionic system are: i) a cross-over from a poor metal to an insulator and finally a superconductor as the temperature decreases, ii) the…
For a high temperature non-Abelian plasma, we reformulate the hard thermal loop approximation as an effective classical thermal field theory for the soft modes. The effective theory is written in local Hamiltonian form, and the thermal…
We describe some general results that constrain the dynamical fluctuations that can occur in non-equilibrium steady states, with a focus on molecular dynamics. That is, we consider Hamiltonian systems, coupled to external heat baths, and…
It is assumed that, in the primordial plasma, at the temperatures above the mass of electron, fermions are in the neutral state being the superposition of particle and antiparticle. There exists neutral proton-electron symmetry.…
We study a model of networked atoms or molecules oscillating around their equilibrium positions. The model assumes the harmonic approximation of the interactions. We provide bounds for the total number of phonons, and for the specific heat,…
