It is shown that the density of two {\it initially independent} condensates which are allowed to expand and overlap can show interferences as a function of time due to interparticle interaction. Using many-body theory, explicit expressions…
The goal of this paper is to describe the various kinetic equations which arise from scaling limits of interacting particle systems. We provide a formalism which allows us to determine the kinetic equation for a given interaction potential…
We investigate the geometry of typical equilibrium configurations for a lattice gas in a finite macroscopic domain with attractive, long range Kac potentials. We focus on the case when the system is below the critical temperature and has a…
This paper is concerned with equilibrium configurations of one-dimensional particle system with non-convex nearest-neighbour and next-to-nearest-neighbour interactions and its passage to the continuum. The goal is to derive compactness…
We report the bulk and surface properties of lithium computed within a full potential LCGTO formalism using both density functional theory and the Hartree-Fock approximation. We examine the convergence of computed properties with respect to…
We study theoretically transitions between the localized and chaotic many-body regimes in one-dimensional quantum lattice systems with long-range couplings between particles and linear external potential. In terms of established criteria…
We study the large-mass limit of interacting quantum (Bose or Fermi) gases in thermal equilibrium. We show that in the suitably-defined large-mass limit, the system gives rise to a gas of classical interacting particles. The corresponding…
We investigate the time-evolution of elastoplastic materials reinforced by randomly distributed long-range interactions. Starting from a rate-independent system on a discrete spring lattice that combines local linearized elasticity,…
We perform a stochastic-homogenization analysis for composite materials exhibiting a random microstructure. Under the assumptions of stationarity and ergodicity, we characterize the Gamma-limit of a micromagnetic energy functional defined…
The initial energy density produced in an ultrarelativistic heavy ion collision can, in the color glass condensate framework, be factorized into a product of the integrated gluon distributions of the nuclei. Although this energy density is…
In the limit of vanishing lattice spacing we provide a rigorous variational coarse-graining result for a next-to-nearest neighbor lattice model of a simple crystal. We show that the $\Gamma$-limit of suitable scaled versions of the model…
We derive the finite-volume correction to the binding energy of an N-particle quantum bound state in a cubic periodic volume. Our results are applicable to bound states with arbitrary composition and total angular momentum, and in any…
In the first part of this paper, we apply a well known discrete-to-continuum approach to a Frenkel-Kontorova-type model of an infinitely long one-dimensional chain of atoms weakly interacting with a line of fixed atoms. The rescaled model…
The relaxation to equilibrium of lattice systems with long-range interactions is investigated. The timescales involved depend polynomially on the system size, potentially leading to diverging equilibration times. A kinetic equation for…
In present work, we discuss some topological features of charged particles interacting a uniform magnetic field in a finite volume. The edge state solutions are presented, as a signature of non-trivial topological systems, the energy…
We present a continuum model for symmetry-breaking phase transformations in intercalation compounds, based on Ericksen's multi-well energy formulation. The model predicts the nucleation and growth of crystallographic microstructures in…
Many-body localization for a system of bosons trapped in a one dimensional lattice is discussed. Two models that may be realized for cold atoms in optical lattices are considered. The model with a random on-site potential is compared with…
We develop a novel cluster expansion for finite-spin lattice systems subject to multi-body quantum -- and, in particular, classical -- interactions. Our approach is based on the use of ``decoupling parameters", advocated by Park [34], which…
We consider energies on a periodic set ${\mathcal L}$ of ${\mathbb R}^d$ of the form $\sum_{i,j\in{\mathcal L}} a^\varepsilon_{ij}|u_i-u_j|$, defined on spin functions $u_i\in\{0,1\}$, and we suppose that the typical range of the…
We consider Lagrangian systems in the limit of infinitely many particles. It is shown that the corresponding discrete action functionals Gamma-converge to a continuum action functional acting on probability measures of particle…
