By introducing a boundary condition for the quantum wire, the Hubbard model is solved exactly by means of Bethe ansatz. The wave function for the bounded state is clearly defined, and the secular equation for the spectrum is exactly…
We analyze the results obtained from a model consisting of the interaction etween the electric quadrupole moment of a moving particle and an electric field. We argue that the system does not support bound states because the motion along the…
We establish that unitarity of scattering amplitudes imposes universal entropy bounds. The maximal entropy of a self-sustained quantum field object of radius R is equal to its surface area and at the same time to the inverse running…
We discuss the initial-boundary value problem for the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura evolution system of Einstein's field equations which has been used extensively in numerical simulations of binary black holes and neutron stars. We…
In quantum systems, entropy production is typically defined as the quantum relative entropy between two states. This definition provides an upper bound for any flux (of particles, energy, entropy, etc.) of bounded observables, which proves…
Upper and lower bounds are established for the survival probability $|<\psi(0)|\psi(t)>|^{2}$ of a quantum state, in terms of the energy moments $<\psi(0)|H^{n}|\psi(0)>$. Introducing a cut-off in the energy generally enables considerable…
We present a number of explicit calculations of Renyi and entanglement entropies in situations where the entangling surface intersects the boundary in $d$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. When the boundary is a single plane we compute the…
An inverse boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation in a bounded domain is considered. The problem is to extract information about an unknown obstacle embedded in the domain with unknown impedance boundary condition (the Robin…
Optical entropy bounds for metal nanoparticles immersed in nonlinear optical media and for nonlinear dielectric microdroplets on metal surfaces are calculated near the frequency of the surface plasmon resonance. Similar to the…
Entropic uncertainty is a well-known concept to formulate uncertainty relations for continuous variable quantum systems with finitely many degrees of freedom. Typically, the bounds of such relations scale with the number of oscillator…
The modeling of finite-extent semiconductor nanostructures that are embedded in a host material requires the numerical treatment of the boundary in a finite simulation domain. For the study of a self-assembled InAs dot embedded in GaAs,…
We generalize the energy-entropy ratio inequality in quantum field theory (QFT) established by one of us from localized states to a larger class of states. The states considered in this paper can be in a charged (non-vacuum) representation…
We use the Bethe Ansatz solution for the one dimensional Hubbard model with open boundary conditions and applied boundary fields to study the spectrum of bound states at the boundary. Depending on the strength of the boundary potentials one…
We consider a boundary-value problem for the second order elliptic differential operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients in a domain $\Omega_{\epsilon}$ that is $\epsilon-$periodically perforated by small holes. The holes are divided…
One quantum characterization of a black hole motivated by (local) holography and thermodynamics is that it maximizes thermodynamic entropy for a given surface area. In the context of quantum gravity, this could be more fundamental than the…
The ground state properties of the two-electron atom with atomic number $Z\geq 2$ in the spherical vacuum cavity with general boundary conditions of "not going out" are studied. It is shown that for certain parameters of the cavity such…
According to the entropy bound, the entropy of a complete physical system can be universally bounded in terms of its circumscribing radius and total gravitating energy. Page's three recent candidates for counterexamples to the bound are…
According to the classical Penrose inequality, the mass at spatial infinity is bounded from below by a function of the area of certain trapped surfaces. We exhibit quantum field theory states that violate this relation at the semiclassical…
We consider two proposals for defining black hole entropy in spherical symmetry, where the horizon is defined locally as a trapping horizon. The first case, boundary terms in a dual-null form of the reduced action in two dimensions, gives a…
We hypothesize that the binding interactions among the components of bound systems and the background fields, sometimes known as virtual particle exchange, affect the state of the systems as do typical scattering interactions. Then with the…
