We consider the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic field in the background of spherically symmetric dielectrics, subject to a cut-off frequency in the dispersion relations. The effect of this frequency dependent boundary condition between…
We study the ergodicity of finite-dimensional approximations of the Schr\"odinger equation. The system is driven by a multiplicative scalar noise. Under general assumptions over the distribution of the noise, we show that the system has a…
Investigation of near field of QED requires the refuse from an averaging of the Lorentz condition that smooths out some field peculiarities. Instead of it Schwinger decomposition of the 4-potential with the Bogoliubov method of interaction…
It has been shown by Liberati et al. [quant-ph/9904013] that a dielectric medium with a time-dependent refractive index may produce photons. We point out that a free electric charge which interacts with such a medium will emit quantum…
The familiar approach to quantum radiation following collapse to a black hole proceeds via Bogoliubov transformations, and yields probabilities for final outcomes. In our (complex) approach, we find quantum amplitudes, not just…
We use the Bogoliubov theory of atoms in an optical lattice to study the approach to the Mott-insulator transition. We derive an explicit expression for the superfluid density based on the rigidity of the system under phase variations. This…
Schwinger-Dyson equations are used to study the phase diagram of QED in three dimensions. This computation is made with full frequency-dependence in the two-point function gap equations for the first time. We also demonstrate that reliable…
An iterative scheme based on the kernel polynomial method is devised for the efficient computation of the one-body density matrix of weakly interacting Bose gases within Bogoliubov theory. This scheme is used to analyze the coherence…
The final stage of Bose-Einstein condensation in a large volume occurs through coarsening--growth of individual correlated patches. We present analytical arguments and numerical evidence that in the momentum space this growth corresponds to…
The present paper is devoted to a theory of profile decomposition for bounded sequences in \emph{homogeneous} Sobolev spaces, and it enables us to analyze the lack of compactness of bounded sequences. For every bounded sequence in…
We revisit the dynamics of a black hole accreting energy from a surrounding homogeneous and infinite space. We argue for a simple heuristic modification of the Schwarzschild approximation when the density of the medium is not negligible…
Sound driven gas bubbles in water can emit light pulses. This phenomenon is called sonoluminescence (SL). Two different phases of single bubble SL have been proposed: diffusively stable and diffusively unstable SL. We present phase diagrams…
A linear quantum dynamical theory for squeezing the output of the trapped Bose-Einstein condensate is presented with the Bogoliubov approximation. We observe that the non-classical properties, such as sub-Poisson distribution and quadrature…
Self-similar, spherically symmetric cosmological models with a perfect fluid and a scalar field with an exponential potential are investigated. New variables are defined which lead to a compact state space, and dynamical systems methods are…
Decoherence of a quantum system induced by the interaction with its environment (measuring medium) may be presented phenomenologically as a continuous (or repeated) fuzzy quantum measurement. The dynamics of the system subject to continuous…
This thesis applies techniques from quantum field theory in curved spacetimes to study particle creation in external fields, focusing on the Schwinger effect (i.e., the production of particle-antiparticle pairs by intense electric fields).…
The long-range electromagnetic interaction presents a challenge for numerical computations in QCD + QED. In addition to power-law finite volume effects, the standard lattice gauge theory approach introduces non-locality through removal of…
This is the fourth paper in a series of four in which we use space adiabatic methods in order to incorporate backreactions among the homogeneous and between the homogeneous and inhomogeneous degrees of freedom in quantum cosmological…
This paper discusses a collective quantum effect which might play an important role in sonoluminescence experiments. We suggest that it occurs during the final stages of the collapse phase and enhances the heating of the particles inside…
We show that, after a renormalisation, one can define the square of the modulus of the solution of the fractional Schr\"odinger equations on the circle with data in Sobolev spaces of arbitrary negative index. As an application, we obtain…
