We consider quantum spin chains with a hidden free fermionic structure, distinct from the Jordan-Wigner transformation and its generalizations. We express selected local operators with the hidden fermions. This way we can exactly solve the…
States of thermal equilibrium of an infinite system of interacting particles in a Euclidean space are studied. The particles bear 'unbounded' spins with a given symmetric a priori distribution. The interaction between the particles is…
The toy model used by Spekkens [R. Spekkens, Phys. Rev. A 75, 032110 (2007)] to argue in favor of an epistemic view of quantum mechanics is extended by generalizing his definition of pure states (i.e. states of maximal knowledge) and by…
It is argued that substantial portions of both Newtonian particle mechanics and general relativity can be viewed as relational (rather than absolute) theories. I furthermore use the relational particle models as toy models to investigate…
Background: Idealised systems are commonly used in nuclear physics and condensed matter. For instance, the construction of nuclear energy density functionals involves properties of infinite matter, while neutron drops are used to test…
We theoretically study propagating correlation fronts in non-interacting fermions on a one-dimensional lattice starting from an alternating state, where the fermions occupy every other site. We find that, in the long-time asymptotic regime,…
Spinless fermions on highly frustrated lattices are characterized by a lowest single-particle band which is completely flat. Concrete realizations are provided by the sawtooth chain and the kagome lattice. For these models a real-space…
We investigate correspondence functors, namely the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of $k$-modules, where $k$ is a commutative ring.They have various specific properties which do not hold for…
Toy models of a non-associative quantum mechanics are presented. The Heisenberg equation of motion is modified using a non-associative commutator. Possible physical applications of a non-associative quantum mechanics are considered. The…
A microscopic model of the Brout-Englert-Higgs (BEH) mechanism is proposed. Massless fermions and antifermions do not belong to the Fock space with definite particle-number distribution, but belong to a non-Fock space with indefinite one.…
Since Fermions are based on anti-commutation relations, their entanglement can not be studied in the usual way, such that the available theory has to be modified appropriately. Recent publications consider in particular the structure of…
We investigate the possible frictionless transport of many composite (condensed) fermions at room temperature regime along an annular tube with transversely wavy-corrugations by using the verified transition-rate model and boundary…
A class of models with a dynamics of generalized quantum cat maps on a product of quantum tori is described. These tori are defined by an algebra of clock-shift matrices of dimension $N$. The dynamics is such that the Lyapunov exponents can…
Expressions for the entropy and equations for the quantum distribution functions in systems of non-interacting fermions and bosons with an arbitrary, including small, number of particles are obtained in the paper
Abstract: Models for studying systems in stationary states but out of equilibrium have often empirical nature and very often break the fundamental time reversal symmetry. Here a formal interpretation will be discussed of the widespread idea…
The matrix product state formalism is used to simulate Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories. To this end, we define matrix product state manifolds which are manifestly gauge invariant. As an application, we study 1+1 dimensional one flavour…
In this letter, we provide evidence for a classical sector of states in the Hilbert space of Finite Quantum Mechanics (FQM). We construct a subset of states whose the minimum bound of position -momentum uncertainty (equivalent to an…
We present a simple derivation of a Feynman-Kac type formula to study fermionic systems. In this approach the real time or the imaginary time dynamics is expressed in terms of the evolution of a collection of Poisson processes. A computer…
A fermion ground state energy functional is set up in terms of particle density, relative pair density, and kinetic energy tensor density. It satisfies a minimum principle if constrained by a complete set of compatibility conditions. A…
We introduce a numerical tensor-network method to compute the statistics of the charge transferred across an interface partitioning an interacting one-dimensional many-body lattice system with $U(1)$ symmetry. Our approach is based on a…
