We consider an isolated point defect embedded in a homogeneous crystalline solid. We show that, in the harmonic approximation, a periodic supercell approximation of the formation free energy as well as of the transition rate between two…
We analyze the dynamics of a class of $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$-equivariant differential equations on the plane, depending on 4 real parameters. This study is the generalisation to $\mathbb{Z}_{2n}$ of previous works with $\mathbb{Z}_4$ and…
We study open zooming systems and potentials with uniqueness of equilibrium states. The uniqueness is established for a certain class of zooming potentials when the map is topologically exact, including the null one. Also, with equilibrium…
We present a proof of the central limit theorem for a pair of mutually non-commuting operators in mixing quantum spin chains. The operators are not necessarily strictly local but quasi-local. As a corollary we obtain a direct construction…
The problem of boundary conditions in a supersymmetric theory of quantum cosmology is studied, with application to the one-loop prefactor in the quantum amplitude. Our background cosmological model is flat Euclidean space bounded by a…
We introduce a model with conserved dynamics, where nearest neighbor pairs of spins $\uparrow \downarrow (\downarrow \uparrow)$ can exchange to assume the configuration $\downarrow \uparrow (\uparrow \downarrow)$, with rate $\beta…
It has recently been shown that small quantum subsystems generically equilibrate, in the sense that they spend most of the time close to a fixed equilibrium state. This relies on just two assumptions: that the state is spread over many…
This work presents a comprehensive benchmark and validation of a recently proposed method called Effective Bethe Ansatz (EBA). It is a variational method that deforms the exact Bethe wavefunctions of one-dimensional spin chains at…
We investigate dynamical equilibration of expectation values in closed quantum systems for realistic non-equilibrium initial states. Thereby we find that the corresponding long time expectation values depend on the initial expectation…
For the XXZ subclass of symmetric two-qubit X states, we study the behavior of quantum conditional entropy S_{cond} as a function of measurement angle \theta\in[0,\pi/2]. Numerical calculations show that the function S_{cond}(\theta) for X…
Transition amplitudes between instantaneous eigenstates of quantum two-level system are evaluated analytically on the basis of a new parametrization of its evolution operator, which has recently been proposed to construct exact solutions.…
Quantum speed limits provide ultimate bounds on the time required to transform one quantum state into another. Here, we extend the notion of quantum speed limits to collections of quantum states, investigating the time for converting a…
Electronic final states generated by sudden changes of the Hamiltonian are studied here, with emphasis on nuclear charge variation in $\beta$ decay. A $\lambda$-parametrized family $\hat H(\lambda)$ that continuously connects the initial…
Alice and Bob are given an unknown initial state chosen from a set of pure quantum states. Their task is to transform the initial state to a corresponding final pure state using local operations only. We prove necessary and sufficient…
For a $\beta$ ensemble on $\Sigma^{(N)}=\{(x_1,\ldots,x_N)\mathbb R^N|x_1\le\cdots\le x_N\}$ with real analytic potential and general $\beta>0$, under the assumption that its equilibrium measure is supported on $q$ intervals where $q>1$, we…
When a superposition $(|\alpha>-|-\alpha>)$ of two coherent states with opposite phase falls upon a 50-50 beamsplitter, the resulting state is entangled. Remarkably, the amount of entanglement is exactly 1 ebit, irrespective of $\alpha$, as…
The uniqueness of equilibrium for a compressible, hyperelastic body subject to dead-load boundary conditions is considered. It is shown, for both the displacement and mixed problems, that there cannot be two solutions of the equilibrium…
Bound-state $\beta^-$-decay is a rare radioactive process where the created electron is trapped in an atomic orbital instead of being emitted. It can be observed in highly ionized atoms in particular when normal beta decay is energetically…
We study the ergodic properties of compositions of interval exchange transformations and rotations. We show that for any interval exchange transformation T, there is a full measure set of \alpha in [0, 1) so that T composed with R_{\alpha}…
Based on the assumption that the receiver Bob can apply any unitary transformation, Horodecki {\it et al.} [Phys. Lett. A {\bf 222}, 21 (1996)] proved that any mixed two spin-1/2 state which violates the Bell-CHSH inequality is useful for…
