Ultracold quantum gases are highly controllable and, thus, capable of simulating difficult quantum many-body problems ranging from condensed matter physics to astrophysics. Although experimental realizations have so far been restricted to…
We study the motion of two atoms trapped at distant positions in the field of a driven standing wave high-Q optical resonator. Even without any direct atom-atom interaction the atoms are coupled through their position dependent influence on…
The density and correlations of topological defects are investigated numerically in a model of a d=2 elastic medium subject to a periodic quenched random potential. The computed density of defects decreases approximately exponentially with…
It is known by now that amorphous solids at zero temperature do not possess a nonlinear elasticity theory: besides the shear modulus which exists, all the higher order coefficients do not exist in the thermodynamic limit. Here we show that…
Modeling of matter bounce in $f(R,T)$ gravity has been presented with no violation of the null energy condition. Only a closed universe with negative pressure is allowed in good agreement with some recent observations which favor a universe…
We consider the Kawasaki dynamics at inverse temperature $\beta$ for the Ising lattice gas on a two-dimensional square of length $2L+1$ with periodic boundary conditions. We assume that initially the particles form a square of length $n$,…
The paper contains some preliminary results about the problem of Bose condensation at zero temperature. It is shown that the usual picture of three dimensional Bose condensation, the so called Bogoliubov approximation, can be explained in…
The origin of predicted and observed anomalies in caloric curves of nuclei and other mesoscopic systems is investigated. It is shown that a straightforward thermodynamical treatment of an evaporating liquid drop leads to a backbending in…
We study temperature chaos in a two-dimensional Ising spin glass with random quenched bimodal couplings, by an exact computation of the partition functions on large systems. We study two temperature correlators from the total free energy…
The large N limit of the Gross-Neveu model is here studied on manifolds with constant curvature, at zero and finite temperature. Using the zeta-function regularization, the phase structure is investigated for arbitrary values of the…
With the aim to understand the role of the constraints in the thermalisation of quantum systems, we study the dynamics of a family of kinetically constrained models arising through duality from the XXZ spin chain. We find that integrable…
Mature neutron stars are thought to be sufficiently cold that nuclei in the outer layers freeze, solidifying a crust. Crustal elasticity allows the star to support a set of seismic modes, such as torsional oscillations. These axial-parity…
Topological defects are thought to be left behind by the cosmological phase transitions which occur as the universe expands and cools. Similar processes can be studied in the phase transitions which take place in the laboratory:…
Plasticity in amorphous solids is mediated by localized quadrupolar instabilities, but the mechanism by which an amorphous solid eventually fails or melts is debated. In this work we argue that these phenomena can be investigated in the…
We experimentally study the dynamics of a degenerate one-dimensional Bose gas that is subject to a continuous outcoupling of atoms. Although standard evaporative cooling is rendered ineffective by the absence of thermalizing collisions in…
Using extensive Monte Carlo simulations, we test the hypothesis that the density of corresponding topological defects has an universal value at the temperature of a continuous phase transition. We consider several simple two-dimensional…
Thermal convection is observed in molecular dynamic simulation of a fluidized granular system of nearly elastic hard disks moving under gravity, inside a rectangular box. Boundaries introduce no shearing or time dependence, but the energy…
Precipitation of cold gas due to thermal instability in both galaxy clusters and the circumgalactic medium may regulate AGN feedback. We investigate thermal instability in idealized simulations of the circumgalactic medium with a parameter…
The form of the low-temperature interactions between defects in neutral glasses is reconsidered. We analyse the case where the defects can be modelled either as simple 2-level tunneling systems, or tunneling rotational impurities. The…
We use classical molecular dynamics combined with the recently developed metadynamics method [A. Laio and M. Parrinello, Procs. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99, 20 (2002)] to study the process of bulk melting in hexagonal ice. Our simulations show…
