The relativistic KMS condition introduced by Bros and Buchholz provides a link between quantum statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. We show that for the $P(\phi)_2$ model at positive temperature, the two point function for fields…
Many physical processes we observe in nature involve variations of macroscopic quantities over spatial and temporal scales much larger than microscopic molecular collision scales and can be considered as in local thermal equilibrium. In…
We discuss some recent results connected with the properties of temperature states of quantum disordered systems. This analysis falls within the natural framework of operator algebras. Among the results quoted here, we recall some ergodic…
Typically in unified theories the neutrino mixing angles, like the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) angles of the quarks, are related to the small mass ratios between fermions of different generations and are therefore quite small. A new…
The group theory framework developed by Fukutome for a systematic analysis of the various broken symmetry types of Hartree-Fock solutions exhibiting spin structures is here extended to the general many body context using spinor-Green…
The equations of time-dependent density functional theory are derived, via the expression for the quantum weak value, from ring polymer quantum theory using a symmetry between time and imaginary time. The imaginary time path integral…
We study the long time dynamics of quantum spin glasses of rotors using the non-equilibrium Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. These models are known to have a quantum phase transition from a paramagnetic to a spin glass phase, which we approach…
The emergence of the concept of a causal fermion system is revisited and further investigated for the vacuum Dirac equation in Minkowski space. After a brief recap of the Dirac equation and its solution space, in order to allow for the…
Recently the Wigner - Weyl formalism has been applied to the lattice models of solid state physics and to the lattice regularized quantum field theory. This allows to demonstrate that the electric current of intrinsic Anomalous Quantum Hall…
This paper studies composite quantum systems, like atom-cavity systems and coupled optical resonators, in the absence of external driving by resorting to methods from quantum field theory. Going beyond the rotating wave approximation, it is…
Memory effects play a key role in the dynamics of strongly correlated systems driven out of equilibrium. In the present study, we explore the nature of memory in the nonequilibrium Anderson impurity model. The Nakajima--Zwanzig--Mori…
We study the classical and quantum KMS conditions within the context of spin lattice systems. Specifically, we define a strict deformation quantization (SDQ) for a $\mathbb{S}^2$-valued spin lattice system over $\mathbb{Z}^d$ generalizing…
It has been proved in the context of quantum fields in Minkowski spacetime that the vacuum state is a thermal state according to uniformly accelerated observers -- a seminal result known as the Unruh effect. Recent claims, however, have…
In isotropic loop quantum cosmology, non-perturbatively modified dynamics of a minimally coupled scalar field violates weak, strong and dominant energy conditions when they are stated in terms of equation of state parameter. The violation…
We solve the quantum constraint equations of the Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi model in a semiclassical approximation in which an expansion is performed with respect to the Planck length. We recover in this way the standard expression for the…
The algebraic formulation of Wick's theorem that allows one to present the vacuum or thermal averages of the chronological product of an arbitrary number of field operators as a determinant (permanent) of the matrix is proposed. Each…
Schwinger Keldysh field theory is a widely used paradigm to study non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems starting from a thermal state. We extend this formalism to describe non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems starting…
The formalism of quantum field theory in operator form, based on the anti self-adjoint operators of the imaginary coordinate and momentum and the self-adjoint operators of the real coordinate, momentum, energy and time, is used in…
In this work, we investigate the effects of rotation on the physical properties of a quantum dot described by a radial potential and subjected to a rotating reference frame. The interplay between rotation and confinement is analyzed by…
We investigate the mass dependence of the Araki-Uhlmann relative entropy between a localized coherent excitation and the vacuum state of a free scalar quantum field on the $(1+d)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime for $d = 1, 2, 3$. In this…
