In this work, improvements are introduced to the current models of the ideal Fermi gas and the ideal Bose gas by incorporating the quantum nature of phase space, which is directly linked to the uncertainty principle. These improved models…
The traditional Fermi function ansatz for nuclear beta decay describes enhanced perturbative effects in the limit of large nuclear charge $Z$ and/or small electron velocity $\beta$. We define and compute the quantum field theory object that…
We develop a new formulation of the continuum quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) in which the residual interaction is derived directly from the Skyrme energy functional, keeping all the velocity dependent terms of the Skyrme…
We propose a new mechanism for a ''small" violation of Pauli Principle in the framework of Quantum Field Theory. Instead of modification of algebra - commutation relations for fields - we introduce spontaneous violation of Pauli Principle…
The entropy-to-energy bound is examined for a quantum scalar field confined to a cavity and satisfying Robin condition on the boundary of the cavity. It is found that near certain points in the space of the parameter defining the boundary…
A quantum system weakly interacting with a fast environment usually undergoes a relaxation with complex frequencies whose imaginary parts are damping rates quadratic in the coupling to the environment, in accord with Fermi's ``Golden…
A quantum correction to the Brans-Dicke theory due to interactions among matter fields is calculated, resulting in violation of WEP, hence giving a constraint on the parameter $\omega$ far more stringent than accepted so far. The tentative…
The Gaussian expansion method (GEM) is extensively applied to the calculations in the random-phase approximation (RPA). We adopt the mass-independent basis-set that has been tested in the mean-field calculations. By comparing the RPA…
Exact results of pair transfer probabilities for the Richardson model with equidistant or random level spacing are presented. The results are then compared either to particle-particle random phase approximation (ppRPA) in the normal phase…
Estimating a classical parameter encoded in the Hamiltonian of a quantum probe is a fundamental and well-understood task in quantum metrology. A textbook example is the estimation of a classical field's amplitude using a two-level probe, as…
The ground-state correlation energy calculated in the random-phase approximation (RPA) is known to be identical to that calculated using a subset of terms appearing in coupled-cluster theory with double excitations. In particular, this…
We use the numerical renormalization group method to investigate the spectral properties of a single-impurity Anderson model with a gap {\delta} across the Fermi level in the conduction-electron spectrum. For any finite {\delta} > 0, at…
We present a Gedankenexperiment that leads to a violation of detailed balance if quantum mechanical transition probabilities are treated in the usual way by applying Fermi's "golden rule". This Gedankenexperiment introduces a collection of…
This article examines the consequences of the existence of an upper particle momentum limit in quantum electrodynamics, where this momentum limit is the Planck momentum. The method used is Fourier analysis as developed already by Fermi in…
In this thesis the two-particle-irreducible (2PI) formalism is investigated with several applications, particular emphasis on renormalizability. In the O(N) symmetric scalar quantum field theory formulated with auxiliary fields it is…
The Pauli exclusion principle in quantum mechanics has a profound influence on the structure of matter and on interactions between fermions. Almost 30 years ago it was predicted that the Pauli exclusion principle could lead to a suppression…
We analyze the particle-like excitations arising in relativistic field theories in states different than the vacuum. The basic properties characterizing the quasiparticle propagation are studied using two different complementary methods.…
We present a microscopic theory of ground-state spectral function of bilayer quantum Hall systems that includes interactions between Hartree-Fock quasiparticles and quantum fluctuations of the order parameter field. The collective modes in…
