A nonperturbative correction to the thermal nucleation rate of critical bubbles in a first order phase transition is estimated. The correction originates from large-amplitude fluctuations which may be present before the transition occurs.…
The statistical properties of wave functions at the critical point of the spin quantum Hall transition are studied. The main emphasis is put onto determination of the spectrum of multifractal exponents $\Delta_q$ governing the scaling of…
We present a canonical formalism for computing quantum fluctuations of certain discrete degrees of freedom in systems governed by integrable partial differential equations with known Hamiltonian structure, provided these models are…
In this paper we formulate the theory of tunneling into general Abelian fractional quantum Hall edge states. In contrast to the simple Laughlin states, a number of charge transfer processes must be accounted for. Nonetheless, it is possible…
This work is devoted to the asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues of an elliptic operator with rapidly oscillating random coefficients on a bounded domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions. A sharp convergence rate is obtained for isolated…
This is the second paper on semiclassical approach based on the density matrix given by the Euclidean time path integral with fixed coinciding endpoints. The classical path, interpolating between this point and the classical vacuum, called…
We study the non equilibrium dynamics in the fermionic Hubbard model after a sudden change of the interaction strength. To this scope, we introduce a time dependent variational approach in the spirit of the Gutzwiller ansatz. At the…
We determine the non-perturbative corrections to the gauge coupling constant and the topological charge in the Yang Mills theory. The method makes no explicit use of instanton calculations but instead relies on boundary properties of the…
We study the anharmonic double well in quantum mechanics using exact Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin (WKB) methods in a 't Hooft-like double scaling limit where classical behavior is expected to dominate. We compute the tunneling action in this…
A powerful method for calculating the eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian operator consists of converting the energy eigenvalue equation into a matrix equation by means of an appropriate basis set of functions. The convergence of the method can be…
The spontaneous switching of a quantum particle between the wells of a double-well potential is a phenomenon of general interest to physics and chemistry. It was broadly believed that the switching rate decreases steadily with the size of…
We investigate the effect of a quantised vibrational mode on electron tunneling through a chain of three quantum dots. The outer dots are coupled to voltage leads, but the position of the central dot is not rigidly fixed. Motion of the…
The phase of a single quantum state is undefined unless the history of its creation provides a reference point. Thus quantum interference may seem hardly relevant for the design of deterministic single-electron sources which strive to…
In the tight binding model with multiple degenerate vacua we might treat wave function overlaps as instanton tunnelings between different wells (vacua). An amplitude for such a tunneling process might be constructed as $\mathsf{T}_{i\to…
The new phenomenon of semiquantum chaos is analyzed in a classically regular double-well oscillator model. Here it arises from a doubling of the number of effectively classical degrees of freedom, which are nonlinearly coupled in a Gaussian…
From the perspective of topological field theory we explore the physics beyond instantons. We propose the fluctons as nonperturbative topological fluctuations of vacuum, from which the self-dual domain of instantons is attained as a…
The study of the quantum to classical transition is of fundamental as well as technological importance, and focusses on mesoscopic devices, with a size for which either classical physics or quantum physics can be brought to dominate. A…
