In this paper we argue that classical, asymptotically AdS spacetimes that arise as states in consistent ultraviolet completions of Einstein gravity coupled to matter must satisfy an infinite family of positive energy conditions. To each…
Recently several works have appeared in the literature that addressed the problem of Freeze Out in energetic heavy ion reaction and aimed for a description based on the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). In this paper we develop a…
In this work, we show that the quantum mechanical notions of density operator, positive operator-valued measure (POVM), and the Born rule, are all simultaneously encoded in the categorical notion of a natural transformation of functors. In…
We review the quantum version of the linear Boltzmann equation, which describes in a non-perturbative fashion, by means of scattering theory, how the quantum motion of a single test particle is affected by collisions with an ideal…
We describe the structure of all bijective maps on the cone of positive definite operators acting on a finite and at least two-dimensional complex Hilbert space which preserve the quantum $\chi_\alpha^2$-divergence for some $\alpha \in…
By exploiting the peculiarities of a recently introduced formalism for describing open quantum systems (the Parametric Representation with Environmental Coherent States) we derive an equation of motion for the reduced density operator of an…
In this paper we consider the cone of all positive, bounded operators acting on an infinite dimensional, complex Hilbert space, and examine bijective maps that preserve absolute continuity in both directions. It turns out that these maps…
The effective electromagnetic current density for a two-nucleon system that is described by the Blankenbecler-Sugar equation is derived. In addition to the single nucleon currents there are exchange currents of two different origins. The…
Two recent arguments for linear dynamics in quantum theory are critically re-examined. Neither argument is found to be satisfactory as it stands, although an improved version of one of the arguments can in fact be given. This improved…
The quantum dynamics of colliding Bose-Einstein condensates with 150 000 atoms are simulated directly from the Hamiltonian using the stochastic positive-P method. Two-body correlations between the scattered atoms and their velocity…
In this paper we consider the Boltzmann equation modelling the motion of a polyatomic gas where the integration collision operator in comparison with the classical one involves an additional internal energy variable $I\in\mathbb{R}_+$ and a…
We analyze the quantum states of two atoms in a combined harmonic oscillator and periodic lattice trap in one spatial dimension. In the case of tight-binding and only nearest neighbor tunneling, the equations of motion are conveniently…
Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is considered under conditions of Feshbach resonance in two-atom collisions due to a coupling of atomic pair and resonant molecular states. The association of condensate atoms can form a molecular BEC, and the…
Positivity preservation is naturally guaranteed in exact non-Markovian master equations for open quantum system dynamics. However, in many approximated non-Markovian master equations, the positivity of the reduced density matrix is not…
We calculate the electronic transport properties of a system which is irradiated by a homogeneous microwave field. Within a Boltzmann equation approach, a general expression for the conductivity tensor is derived and evaluated for a quasi…
We study the occurrence of a Bose-Einstein transition in a dilute gas with repulsive interactions, starting from temperatures above the transition temperature. The formalism, based on the use of Ursell operators, allows us to evaluate the…
We continue our earlier work [Ana Maria Rey, B. L. Hu, Esteban Calzetta, Albert Roura and Charles W. Clark, Phys. Rev. A 69, 033610 (2004)] on the nonequilibrium dynamics of a Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) selectively loaded into every…
In this paper, we extend the standard formalism of quantum mechanics to a quantum theory for a total system including one internal measuring apparatus. The internality of the measuring apparatus implies that different decomposition of a…
We consider the motion of a finite though large number of particles in the whole space R n. Particles move freely until they experience pairwise collisions. We use our recent theory of divergence-controlled positive symmetric tensors in…
We derive on the basis of Bayes' theorem a simple but general expression for the retrodicted premeasurement state associated with the result of any measurement. The retrodictive density operator is the normalised probability operator…
