Supersymmetry does not dictate the way we should quantize the fields in the supermultiplets, and so we have the freedom to quantize the Standard Model (SM) particles and their superpartners differently. We propose a generalized quantization…
A pure state decoheres into a mixed state as it entangles with an environment. When an entangled two-mode system is embedded in a thermal environment, however, each mode may not be entangled with its environment by their simple linear…
N-body simulations that follow only a collisionless dark matter component have failed to produce galaxy halos or substructure within dense environments. We investigate the `over-merging' problem analytically and with numerical simulations,…
Macroscopic quantum effects play central roles in the appearance of inexplicable phenomena in low-temperature quantum many-body physics. Such macroscopic quantumness is often evaluated using long-range entanglement, i.e., entanglement in…

We address the effects of dissipative defects giving rise to a localized particle loss, in one-dimensional non-interacting lattice fermionic gases confined within a region of size $\ell$. We consider homogeneous systems within hard walls…
An efficient numerical approach to equilibrium properties of strongly coupled systems which include a subsystem of fermionic quantum particles and a subsystem of classical particles is presented. It uses an improved path integral…
Ballistic annihilation with continuous initial velocity distributions is investigated in the framework of Boltzmann equation. The particle density and the rms velocity decay as $c=t^{-\alpha}$ and $<v>=t^{-\beta}$, with the exponents…
We point out that inflaton decays can be a copious source of stable or long--lived particles $\chi$ with mass exceeding the reheat temperature $T_R$. Once higher order processes are included, this statement is true for any $\chi$ particle…
We study infinite systems of particles which undergo coalescence and fragmentation, in a manner determined solely by their masses. A pair of particles having masses $x$ and $y$ coalesces at a given rate $K(x,y)$. A particle of mass $x$…
Quantum systems of indistinguishable particles are commonly described using the formalism of second quantisation, which relies on the assumption that any admissible quantum state must be either symmetric or anti-symmetric under particle…
Depletion interactions between colloidal particles dispersed in a fluid medium are effective interactions induced by the presence of other types of colloid. They are not instantaneous but build up in time. We show by means Brownian dynamics…
The asymptotic behavior, as $n\rightarrow \infty $ of the conditional distribution of the number of particles in a decomposable critical branching process $\mathbf{Z}% (m)=(Z_{1}(m),...,Z_{N}(m)),$ with $N$ types of particles at moment…
Condensation is characterized with a single macroscopic condensate whose mass is proportional to a system size $N$. We demonstrate how important particle interactions are in condensation phenomena. We study a modified version of the…
Molecular dynamics simulations were performed for a polymer melt. In quiescent states, the inter-chain interaction energy supported by each particle takes relatively large values persistently for long times if the particle is close to an…
We study the dynamics of relaxation and thermalization in an exactly solvable model with the goal of understanding the effects of off-shell processes. The focus is to compare the exact evolution of the distribution function with different…
A large body of experimental evidence suggests that the decay of the false vacuum, accompanied by quantum pair creation of soliton domain walls, can occur in a variety of condensed matter systems. Examples include nucleation of charge…
We consider particle decays during the cosmic dark ages with two aims: (1) to explain the high optical depth reported by WMAP, and (2) to provide new constraints to the parameter space for decaying particles. We delineate the decay channels…
We consider finite sized atomic systems with varying number of particles which have dipolar interactions among them and also under the collective driving and dissipative effect of thermal photon environment. Focusing on the simple case of…
