We establish a fluctuation-correlation theorem by relating the quantum fluctuations in the generator of the parameter change to the time integral of the quantum correlation function between the projection operator and force operator of the…

We use variational methods to calculate quasilocal energy quantum corrections. A comparison with the effective potential calculated at quadratic order is made by means of gaussian wave functionals. The method is a particular case of the…

This work addresses the problem of relaxation of open systems to quasi-equilibrium states. Time-dependent density matrix of two arbitrary coupled quantum oscillators of arbitrary properties interacting with separate reservoirs is derived…

The worldline variational approach is extended beyond the quenched approximation, i.e. to include virtual pair production of heavy particles. This is achieved either by an expansion of the functional determinant to second order or by an…

For a SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, we present variational calculations using gaussian wave functionals combined with an approximate projection on gauge invariant states. The projection amounts to correcting the energy of the gaussian states by…

The four-time correlation function of a general dynamical variable obeying Gaussian statistics is calculated for the trap model with a Gaussian density of states. It is argued that for energy-independent variables this function is…

Nuclear physics is ideal to test and develop techniques to describe the microscopic dynamics of quantum many-body systems. At low energy, nuclear dynamics is described with non-relativistic approaches based on the mean-field approximation…

We show the equivalence between the three approximation schemes for self-interacting (1+1)-D scalar field theories. Based on rigorous results of [1, 2], we are able to prove that the Gaussian approximation is very precise for certain limits…

This paper considers the problem of computing Bayesian estimates of both states and model parameters for nonlinear state-space models. Generally, this problem does not have a tractable solution and approximations must be utilised. In this…

A time-dependent multiconfigurational self-consistent field theory is presented to describe the many-body dynamics of a gas of identical bosonic atoms confined to an external trapping potential at zero temperature from first principles. A…

We develop a linear-programming method to extract dynamical information from static ground-state correlators in quantum field theory. We recast the K\"all\'en-Lehmann inversion as a convex optimization problem, in a spirit similar to the…

We present a derivation of a recently proposed theory for the time dependence of density fluctuations in stationary states of strongly interacting, athermal, self-propelled particles. The derivation consists of two steps. First, we start…

We analyze numerically a two-dimensional $\lambda\phi^4$ theory showing that in the limit of a strong coupling $\lambda\to\infty$ just the homogeneous solutions for time evolution are relevant in agreement with the duality principle in…

We calculate line shapes of correlation functions by use of complete diagonalization data of finite chains and analytical implications from conformal field theory, density of states, and Bethe ansatz. The numerical data have different…

The coupling constant dependence is derived in time-dependent {\em current} density functional theory. The scaling relation can be used to check approximate functionals and in conjunction with the adiabatic connection formula to obtain the…

For classical field theories with probabilistic initial conditions the classical field observables are an idealization. Their arbitrarily precise values poorly reflect the characteristic uncertainty in the presence of substantial…

We present variational theory for optimal control over a finite time interval in quantum systems with relaxation. The corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations determining the optimal control field are derived. In our theory the optimal…

In strongly coupled field theories, perturbation theory cannot be employed to study the low-energy spectrum. Thus, non-perturbative techniques are required. We employ the variational method, a rigorous, non-perturbative approach which…

We compute the far-from-equilibrium dynamics of relativistic scalar quantum fields in 3+1 space-time dimensions starting from over-occupied initial conditions. We determine universal scaling exponents and functions for two-point correlators…

A precise time-dependent control of a quantum system relies on an accurate account of the quantum interference among the system, the control and the environment. A diagrammatic technique has been recently developed to precisely calculate…
