First order phase transitions are ubiquitous in nature, however, this notion is ambiguous and highly debated in the case of quantum systems out of thermal equilibrium. We construct a paradigmatic example which allows for elucidating the key…

Deterministic optical quantum logic requires a nonlinear quantum process that alters the phase of a quantum optical state by $\pi$ through interaction with only one photon. Here, we demonstrate a large conditional cross-phase modulation…
We analyse the mechanism in which zero modes lead to an elimination of fermionic color non--singlet states in 1+1 dimensions. Using a hamiltonian lattice formulation we clarify the physical meaning of the zero modes but we do not find…
