We start from a variational model for nematic elastomers that involves two energies: mechanical and nematic. The first one consists of a nonlinear elastic energy which is influenced by the orientation of the molecules of the nematic…
Relations similar to work and exchange fluctuations have been recently derived for open systems dynamically evolving in the presence of an ancilla. Extending these relations and constructing a non-equilibrium Helmholtz equation we derive a…
We investigate the effect of slowly-varying parameter on the energy transfer in a system of weakly coupled nonlinear oscillators, with special attention to a mathematical analogy between the classical energy transfer and quantum…
We present a novel route to constructing cost-efficient semi-empirical approximations for the non-additive kinetic energy in subsystem density functional theory. The developed methodology is based on the use of Slater determinants composed…
We propose an effective field theory describing the time dependent fluctuations of electrons in conducting systems, generalizing the well known kinetic theory of fluctuations. On several examples, we show its equivalence, (when quantum…
Using the kinetic approach, we study the impact of the charged particles dynamics due to the Schwinger effect on the electric field evolution during inflation. As a simple model of the electric field generation, we consider the kinetic…
We present a pedagogical review of old inconsistencies of Classical Electrodynamics and of some new ideas that solve them. Problems with the electron equation of motion and with the non-integrable singularity of its self-field energy tensor…
The canonical energy-momentum tensor is often considered as a purely academic object because of its gauge dependence. However, it has recently been realized that canonical quantities can in fact be defined in a gauge-invariant way provided…
Since molecular energy transformations are responsible for chemical reaction rates at the most fundamental level, chemical kinetics should provide some information about molecular energies. This is the premise and objective of this note. We…
We are interested in the energy-momentum relation for a moving composite in relativistic quantum mechanics in many-particle Dirac models. For a manifestly covariant model one can apply the Lorentz transform to go from the rest frame to a…
Quantifying the ergotropy (a.k.a. available energy), namely the maximal amount of energy that can be extracted from a thermally isolated system, is a central problem in quantum thermodynamics. Notably, the same problem has been long studied…
From quantum field theory, we derive the chiral kinetic theory involving nonlinear quantum corrections coupled with spacetime-dependent electromagnetic fields and fluid velocity gradients. An equilibrium Wigner function determined by the…
Starting from a real scalar quantum field theory with quartic self-interactions and non-minimal coupling to classical gravity, we define four equal-time, spatially covariant phase-space operators through a Wigner transformation of spatially…
We present a detailed analysis of the non-analytic structure of the free energy for the itinerant ferromagnet near the quantum critical point in two and three dimensions. We analyze a model of electrons with an isotropic dispersion…
Much experimental effort is invested these days in fabricating nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) that are sufficiently small, cold, and clean, so as to approach quantum mechanical behavior as their typical quantum energy scale…
The energy of a quantum particle cannot be determined exactly unless there is an infinite amount of time in which to perform the measurement. This paper considers the possibility that $\Delta E$, the uncertainty in the energy, may be…
A triaxial particle-rotor Hamiltonian for three mutually perpendicular angular momentum vectors corresponding to two high-$j$ quasiparticles and the rotation of a triaxial collective core, is treated within a time-dependent variational…
Classical and quantum physics represent two distinct theories; however, quantum physics is regarded as the more fundamental of the two. It is posited that classical mechanics should arise from quantum mechanics under certain limiting…
It is shown that all of the basic properties of the hydrogen atom can be consistently described in terms of classical electrodynamics instead of taking the electron to be a particle; we consider an electrically charged classical wave field,…
In quantum field theory, the vacuum is a fluctuating medium which behaves as a nonlinear polarizable material. In this article, we perform the first rigorous derivation of the magnetic Euler-Heisenberg effective energy, a nonlinear…
