The aim of this review is to provide a concise overview of some of the generic approaches that have been developed to deal with the statistical description of large systems of interacting dissipative 'units'. The latter notion includes,…
Background: The Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation is standard in combination with energy density functionals (EDF) that account for some dynamical correlations. Breaking and restoring the symmetries of the system allow for the inclusion…

We investigate the many-particle and mean-field correspondence for a non-Hermitian N-particle Bose-Hubbard dimer where a complex onsite energy describes an effective decay from one of the modes. Recently a generalized mean-field…
We consider the time evolution of a system of $N$ identical bosons whose interaction potential is rescaled by $N^{-1}$. We choose the initial wave function to describe a condensate in which all particles are in the same one-particle state.…
Are spinodal instabilities the leading mechanism in the fragmentation of a fermionic system? Numerous experimental indications suggest such a scenario and stimulated much effort in giving a suitable description, without being finalised in a…
Assuming that the effect of the residual interaction beyond mean-field is weak and has a short memory time, two approximate treatments of correlation in fermionic systems by means of Markovian quantum jump are presented. A simplified…
A Gaussian operator basis provides a means to formulate phase-space simulations of the real- and imaginary-time evolution of quantum systems. Such simulations are guaranteed to be exact while the underlying distribution remains…
While Hartree-Fock theory is well established as a fundamental approximation for interacting fermions, it has been unclear how to describe corrections to it due to many-body correlations. In this paper we start from the Hartree-Fock state…
Precise variational solutions are given for problems involving diverse fermionic and bosonic $N=2-7$-body systems. The trial wave functions are chosen to be combinations of correlated Gaussians, which are constructed from products of the…
