The QED effective action at finite temperature and density is calculated to all orders in an external homogeneous and time-independent magnetic field in the weak coupling limit. The free energy, obtained explicitly, exhibit the expected de\…
Quantum fields with large degeneracy are often approximated as classical fields. Here, we show how quantum and classical evolution of a highly degenerate quantum field with repulsive contact self-interactions differ from each other.…
Casimir effect in most general terms may be understood as a backreaction of a quantum system causing an adiabatic change of the external conditions under which it is placed. This paper is the second installment of a work scrutinizing this…
The confinement of quarks in hadrons occurs due to formation of QCD string. At large separation between the quarks the QCD string breaks into pieces due to light quark-antiquark pair creation. We argue that there exist a critical background…
Experts in quantum field theory (QFT) generally answer the question of the ``size of an electron'' with ``point-like''. On the other hand, QFT recognizes quantum effects, shielding by virtual particles, the so-called polarization cloud,…
Using a generalized proper-time method, we obtain expressions for the fermion density and the QED effective Lagrangian for an external magnetic field at finite chemical potential. The effective Lagrangian and the density are here written in…
We evaluate the cross section for electron-positron pair production by a single high energy photon in the space-time of a static, straight cosmic string. Energy and momentum conservation precludes this process in empty Minkowski space. It…
We obtain new constraints for the modular energy of general states by using the monotonicity property of relative entropy. In some cases, modular energy can be related to the energy density of states and these constraints lead to…
There has been much recent work on quantum inequalities to constrain negative energy. These are uncertainty principle-type restrictions on the magnitude and duration of negative energy densities or fluxes. We consider several examples of…
A functional partial differential equation is set for the proper graphs generating functional of QED in external electromagnetic fields. This equation leads to the evolution of the proper graphs with the external field amplitude and the…
The dynamical behavior of quantum state properties under intrinsic decoherence models can be modified by the presence of external magnetic fields. Although generically external magnetic fields are detrimental to preserve quantumness in the…
Consequences of an exceedingly strong electric field (E field) on the ground state energetics and transport properties of a 2D spinless electron gas in a perpendicular magnetic field (a Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) configuration) are…
We discuss the various manifestations of quantum decoherence in the forms of dephasing, entanglement with the environment, and revelation of "which-path" information. As a specific example, we consider an electron interference experiment.…
In a previous paper, a bound on the negative energy density seen by an arbitrary inertial observer was derived for the free massless, quantized scalar field in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. This constraint has the form of an…
We study the impact of background electric fields on a hot plasma of charged particles -- a setting relevant for the early stages of heavy-ion collisions as well as laser pulse experiments. Historically, the electric susceptibility --…
We have studied the general properties of the energy thresholds of stability for a three-particle system with short-range interaction. A wide region of the interaction constants and various ratios of the masses of particles are considered.…
The effect of external electric field on the exchange interaction has been studied by an exact diagonalization method for two electrons in laterally coupled quantum dots (QD's). We have performed a systematic study of several nanodevices…
We review the effects of strong background fields in noncommutative QED. Beginning with the noncommutative Maxwell and Dirac equations, we describe how combined noncommutative and strong field effects modify the propagation of fermions and…
Generation of quantum entanglement between a pair of qubits is studied in a cavity-QED platform. The qubit pair is placed inside a common cavity environment. We show that the relative strength of qubit-photon couplings is crucial for…
We consider free electrons in rectangular quantum dots, with either hard wall boundary conditions or anharmonic confinement. In both cases, due to finite size effects, a homogeneous electric field applied along one of the rectangular axis…
