We consider a system made up of N electrons interacting with a neutralizing positive background within a cubic box of volume V. After dividing the box into N (or N/2) cubic cells for the polarized (unpolarized) case, we average the creation…
Quantum phase transitions have been shown to be highly beneficial for quantum sensing, owing to diverging quantum Fisher information close to criticality. In this work we consider a periodically modulated Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model to show…
Conditional probability distributions from exact diagonalization are used to investigate the crystalline or liquid character of the downward cusp states in parabolic quantum dots (QD's) at high magnetic fields. These states are crystalline…
Passive states of quantum systems are states from which no system energy can be extracted by any cyclic (unitary) process. Gibbs states of all temperatures are passive. Strong local (SL) passive states are defined to allow any general…
Based on the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young (KTHNY) theory of two-dimensional melting and the analogy between Laughlin states and the two-dimensional one-component plasma (2DOCP), we investigate the possibility of liquid…
We investigate quasicrystal-forming soft matter using a two-scale phase field crystal model. At state points near thermodynamic coexistence between bulk quasicrystals and the liquid phase, we find multiple metastable spatially localized…
The quantum wave-function of a massive particle with small initial uncertainties (consistent with the uncertainty relation) is believed to spread very slowly, so that the dynamics is deterministic. This assumes that the classical motions…
We develop an effective low energy theory of the Quantum Hall (QH) Smectic or stripe phase of a two-dimensional electron gas in a large magnetic field in terms of its Goldstone modes and of the charge fluctuations on each stripe. This…
Gauge/gravity duality applied to strongly interacting systems at finite density predicts a universal intermediate energy phase to which we refer as a semi-local quantum liquid. Such a phase is characterized by a finite spatial correlation…
A Hydrogen atom immersed in a finite jellium sphere is solved using variational quantum Monte Carlo (VQMC). The same system is also solved using density functional theory (DFT), in both the local spin density (LSDA) and self-interaction…
Every massive particle behaves like a wave, according to quantum physics. Yet, this characteristic wave nature has only been observed in double-slit experiments with microscopic systems, such as atoms and molecules. The key aspect is that…
We demonstrate the onset of strong on-site localization in a one-dimensional many-particle system. The localization is obtained by constructing, in an explicit form, a bounded sequence of on-site energies that eliminates resonant hopping…
The many-body wave-function of an interacting one-dimensional electron system is probed, focusing on the low-density, strong interaction regime. The properties of the wave-function are determined using tunneling between two long, clean,…
The existence of image states in small clusters is shown, using a quantum-mechanical many-body approach. We present image state energies and wave functions for spherical jellium clusters up to 186 atoms, calculated in the GW approximation,…
Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are widely used to coherently control quantum states of light. When carrying out these experiments, some assumptions are made. For instance, it is supposed that the position-momentum correlations between twin…
Collective response dynamics of a strongly coupled system departs from the continuum phase upon transition to the quasicrystalline phase, or formation of a Wigner lattice. The wave nonlinearity leading to the modulational instability in…
The behavior of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in extreme coupling limits are reasonably well-understood, but our understanding of intermediate region remains limited. Strongly interacting electrons crystalize into a solid phase known…
We consider one single copy of a mixed state of two qubits and investigate how its entanglement changes under local quantum operations and classical communications (LQCC) of the type $\rho'\sim (A\otimes B)\rho(A\otimes B)^{\dagger}$. We…
I discuss results bearing on a variational problem of a new type, inspired by fractional quantum Hall physics. In the latter context, the main result reviewed herein can be spelled as "the phase of independent quasi-holes generated from…
We investigate entangled Schr\"odinger cat-like states (SCLSs) in degenerate and non-degenerate spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) with a fully quantized, depleted pump. Our fully quantum treatment, visualized via Wigner…
