Enhanced sampling simulations make the computational study of rare events feasible. A large family of such methods crucially depends on the definition of some collective variables (CVs) that could provide a low-dimensional representation of…
In this paper we put forward a systematic and unifying approach to construct gauge invariant composite fields out of connections. It relies on the existence in the theory of a group valued field with a prescribed gauge transformation. As an…
The task of testing whether quantum theory applies to all physical systems and all scales requires considering situations where a quantum probe interacts with another system that need not obey quantum theory in full. Important examples…
We review and extend the computation of scattering amplitudes of tachyons in the $c=1$ matrix model using a manifestly finite prescription for the collective field hamiltonian. We give further arguments for the exactness of the cubic…

It is shown that a choice of degrees of freedom of a bipartite continuous variable system determines amount of non-classical correlations (quantified by discord) in the system's state. Non-classical correlations (that include entanglement…

Composites, or linear combinations of variables, play an important role in multivariate behavioral research. They appear in the form of indices, inventories, formative constructs, parcels, and emergent variables. Although structural…

Every quantum physical system can be considered the ''shadow'' of a special kind of classical system. The system proposed here is classical mainly because each observable function has a well precise value on each state of the system: an…
