We derive quantum kinetic equations for fermions in a homogeneous time-dependent background in presence of decohering collisions, by use of the Schwinger-Keldysh CTP-formalism. The quantum coherence (between particles and antiparticles) is…

We demonstrate that the dynamics of an open quantum system can be calculated efficiently and with predefined error, provided a basis exists in which the system-environment interactions are local and hence obey the Lieb-Robinson bound. We…

We examine the equilibrium properties of hot, dilute, non-relativistic plasmas. The partition function and density correlation functions of a classical plasma with several species are expressed in terms of a functional integral over…

We study a system of fermions interacting with a gauge field which can be used to describe either spin liquid or $\nu=1/2$ Quantum Hall state. We propose a generalized model with a dimensionless parameter $N$. We evaluate the properties of…

The time development of the reduced density matrix for a quantum oscillator damped by coupling it to an ohmic environment is calculated via an identity of the Debye-Waller form. Results obtained some years ago by Hakim and the author in the…

We argue and numerically substantiate that the real-space entanglement spectrum (RSES) of composite fermion quantum Hall states is given by the spectrum of a local boundary perturbation of a $(1+1)$d conformal field theory (CFT), which…

We develop a thermodynamical model of fermionic dark matter halos at finite temperature. Statistical equilibrium states may be justified by a process of violent collisionless relaxation in the sense of Lynden-Bell or from a collisional…

This paper presents a systematic and accurate treatment of the evolution of cosmological perturbations in self-interacting dark matter models, for particles which decoupled from the primordial plasma while relativistic. We provide a…

In a previous work [arXiv1905.01121] we have derived a quantum master equation for the dynamics of a scalar bosonic particle interacting with a weak, stochastic and classical gravitational field. As standard matter is made of fermions, such…

A mechanism for suppressing the cosmological constant is developed, based on an analogy with a superconducting phaseshift in which free fermions coupled perturbatively to a weak gravitational field are in an unstable false vacuum state. The…

In a recent work [1] we presented results for the Bose-Fermi-Hubbard model (BFHM) in the limit of ultrafast fermions. The present work gives an overview over the used methods and an deeper insight into the implications arising from the…

To quantify the effect of decoherence in quantum measurements, it is desirable to measure not merely the square modulus of the spatial wavefunction, but the entire density matrix, whose phases carry information about momentum and how pure…

Based on a generalization of Hohenberg-Kohn's theorem, we propose a ground state theory for bosonic quantum systems. Since it involves the one-particle reduced density matrix $\gamma$ as a natural variable but still recovers quantum…

Using the density matrix renormalization group algorithm, we study the model of spinless fermions with nearest-neighbor interaction on a ring in the presence of disorder. We determine the spatial decay of the density induced by a defect…
