Anyons in (1 + 1) dimensions and the deformed Calogero-Sutherland modelAtai, Farrokh January 2011 (has links)
This thesis deals with a conformal field theoretical treatment of abelian anyons in (1 + 1)-dimensions and their relation to the integrable Calogero-Sutherland models. We generalize previous work relating anyons to the Calogero-Sutherland model by showing that the correlation function of the anyon field operators corresponds to the eigenfunctions of the deformed Calogero-Sutherland model. Our results suggest a physical application of the deformed Calogero-Sutherland model in the context of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE). A key aspect for this work is the introduction of the dual anyon field operators, which obey a natural generalization of the canonical anti-commutation relation.

Exploratory studies of group theoretic methods in atomic physicsXu, Guang-Hui 01 January 1989 (has links)
The properties of a physical system are determined by its equation of motion, and every such equation admits one-parameter groups which keep the equation invariant. Thus, for a particular system, if one can find the generator of a one-parameter group which keeps the equation and some further function or functional invariant, then one can change this system into others by changing the parameter, while keeping some properties constant. In this way, one can tell why different systems have some common properties. More importantly, one can use this method to find relationships between the physical properties of different systems.
In the next section, we will illustrate the group theoretic approach by applying it to systems of two coupled oscillators and the hydrogen molecular ion. In section III of this thesis, we will investigate the helium atom system, considering both classical and quantum cases. In the quantum case our attention will be concentrated on the Schrodinger equation in matrix form. We will use a finite set of wavefunctions as our basis. Hence the results obtained will be approximate.

Development Of Theoretical And Computational Methods For Few-body Processes In Ultracold Quantum GasesBlandon, Juan 01 January 2006 (has links)
We are developing theoretical and computational methods to study two related three-body processes in ultracold quantum gases: three-body resonances and three-body recombination. Three-body recombination causes the ultracold gas to heat up and atoms to leave the trap where they are confined. Therefore, it is an undesirable effect in the process of forming ultracold quantum gases. Metastable three-body states (resonances) are formed in the ultracold gas. When decaying they also give additional kinetic energy to the gas, that leads to the heating too. In addition, a reliable method to obtain three-body resonances would be useful in a number of problems in other fields of physics, for example, in models of metastable nuclei or to study dissociative recombination of H3 +. Our project consists of employing computer modeling to develop a method to obtain three-body resonances. The method uses a novel two-step diagonalization approach to solve the three-body Schrödinger equation. The approach employs the SVD method of Tolstikhin et al. coupled with a complex absorbing potential. We tested this method on a model system of three identical bosons with nucleon mass and compared it to the results of a previous study. This model can be employed to understand the 3He nucleus . We found one three-body bound state and four resonances. We are also studying Efimov resonances using a 4He-based model. In a system of identical spinless bosons, Efimov states are a series of loosely bound three-body states which begin to appear as the energy of the two-body bound state approaches zero . Although they were predicted 35 years ago, recent evidence of Efimov states found by Kraemer et al. in a gas of ultracold Cs atoms has sparked great interest by theorists and experimentalists. Efimov resonances are a kind of pre-dissociated Efimov trimer. To search for Efimov resonances we tune the diatom interaction potential, V(r): V(r) → λV(r) as Esry et al. did . We calculated the first two values of λ for which there is a "condensation" (infinite number) of Efimov states. They are λEfimov1 = 0.9765 and λEfimov2 = 6.834. We performed calculations for λ = 2.4, but found no evidence of Efimov resonances. For future work we plan to work with λ ≈ 4 and λ ≈ λEfimov2 where we might see d-wave and higher l-wave Efimov resonances. There is also a many-body project that forms part of this thesis and consists of a direct diagonalization of the Bogolyubov Hamiltonian, which describes elementary excitations of a gas of bosons interacting through a pairwise interaction. We would like to reproduce the corresponding energy spectrum. So far we have performed several convergence tests, but have not observed the desired energy spectrum. We show preliminary results.

Fast, slow and super slow quantum thermalizationColmenárez, Luis 08 December 2022 (has links)
Thermalization is ubiquitous to all physical systems and is an essential assumption for the postulates of statistical mechanics. Generally, every system evolves under its own dynamics and reaches thermal equilibrium. In the quantum realm, thermal equilibrium is described by the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH); hence every system that thermalizes is expected to follow ETH. Moreover, the thermalization process is always manifested as transport of matter and quantum information across the system. Thermalizing quantum systems with local interactions are expected to show diffusive transport of global conserved quantities and ballistic information spreading. The vast majority of many-body systems show the typical behavior described above.
In this thesis, we study two mechanisms that break the standard picture of quantum thermalization. On the one hand, information spreading may be faster in the presence of long-range interactions. By simulating the Lieb-Robinson bounds in a spin chain with power-law decaying interactions, we distinguish the regime where the long-range character of the interactions becomes irrelevant for information spreading. On the other hand, the interplay of disorder and interactions can slow down transport, entering a sub-diffusive regime. We study this dynamical regime in an Anderson model on random regular graphs, where the emergence of a sub-diffusive regime before the localization transition is highly debated. Looking at long-range spectral correlations, we found that the sub-diffusive regime may be extended over the whole thermal phase of the model.
Moreover, when disorder is strong enough, quantum many-body systems can undergo an ergodicity breaking transition to a many-body localized (MBL) phase. These systems do not follow ETH, so they present a challenge for conventional statistical mechanics. In particular, we study how the structure of local operator eigenstate matrix elements (central assumption of ETH) change between the thermal and MBL phase. A complete characterization of matrix elements of correlation functions is achieved via strong disorder quasi-degenerate perturbation theory. Furthermore, we study the MBL transition mechanism, which is still an open question due to the limitations of the available techniques for addressing that regime. Focusing on the avalanche mechanism, we simulate MBL spin chains coupled to a finite and infinite thermal bath. We could estimate the thermalization rate, which behaves as an order parameter and provide bounds for the actual critical disorder in the thermodynamic limit. We propose the existence of an intermediate MBL ``regime' where the system is slowly de-localizing, but relevant time scales are out-of-reach for current experiments and numerical simulations.

Quantum Effects in the Hamiltonian Mean Field ModelPlestid, Ryan January 2019 (has links)
We consider a gas of indistinguishable bosons, confined to a ring of radius R, and
interacting via a pair-wise cosine potential. This may be thought of as the quantized
Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model for bosons originally introduced by Chavanis
as a generalization of Antoni and Ruffo’s classical model.
This thesis contains three parts: In part one, the dynamics of a Bose-condensate are
considered by studying a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GGPE). Quantum
effects due to the quantum pressure are found to substantially alter the system’s
dynamics, and can serve to inhibit a pathological instability for repulsive interactions.
The non-commutativity of the large-N , long-time, and classical limits is discussed.
In part two, we consider the GGPE studied above and seek static solutions. Exact
solutions are identified by solving a non-linear eigenvalue problem which is closely
related to the Mathieu equation. Stationary solutions are identified as solitary waves
(or solitons) due to their small spatial extent and the system’s underlying Galilean
invariance. Asymptotic series are developed to give an analytic solution to the non-
linear eigenvalue problem, and these are then used to study the stability of the solitary
wave mentioned above.
In part three, the exact solutions outlined above are used to study quantum fluctuations
of gapless excitations in the HMF model’s symmetry broken phase. It is found that
this phase is destroyed at zero temperature by large quantum fluctuations. This
demonstrates that mean-field theory is not exact, and can in fact be qualitatively
wrong, for long-range interacting quantum systems, in contrast to conventional wisdom. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / The Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model was initially proposed as a simplified
description of self-gravitating systems. Its simplicity shortens calculations and makes
the underlying physics more transparent. This has made the HMF model a key tool in
the study of systems with long-range interactions.
In this thesis we study a quantum extension of the HMF model. The goal is to
understand how quantum effects can modify the behaviour of a system with long-range
interactions. We focus on how the model relaxes to equilibrium, the existence of
special “solitary waves”, and whether quantum fluctuations can prevent a second order
(quantum) phase transition from occurring at zero temperature.

Towards Quantum Simulation of the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev ModelUhrich, Philipp Johann 24 July 2023 (has links)
Analogue quantum simulators have proven to be an extremely versatile tool for the study of strongly-correlated condensed matter systems both near and far from equilibrium. An enticing prospect is the quantum simulation of non-
Fermi liquids which lack a quasiparticle description and feature prominently in the study of strange metals, fast scrambling of quantum information, as well as holographic quantum matter. Yet, large-scale laboratory realisations of such systems remain outstanding. In this thesis, we present a proposal for the analogue quantum simulation of one such system, the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model, using cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED). We discuss recent experimental advances in this pursuit, and perform analysis of this and related models. Through a combination of analytic calculations and numeric simulations, we show how driving a cloud of fermionic atoms trapped in a multi-
mode optical cavity, and subjecting it to a spatially disordered AC-Stark shift, can realise an effective model which retrieves the physics of the SYK model, with random all-to-all interactions and fast scrambling. Working towards the SYK model, we present results from a recent proof-of-principle cQED experiment which implemented the disordered light-shift technique to quantum simulate all- to-all interacting spin models with quenched disorder. In this context, we show analytically how disorder-driven localisation can be extracted from spectroscopic probes employed in cQED experiments, despite their lack of spatially resolved information. Further, we numerically investigate the post-quench dynamics of the SYK model, finding a universal, super-exponential equilibration in the disorder-averaged far-from-equilibrium dynamics. These are reproduced analytically through an effective master equation. Our work demonstrates the increasing capabilities of cQED quantum simulators, highlighting how these may be used to study the fascinating physics of holographic quantum matter and other disorder models in the lab.

Efficient automated implementation of higher-order many-body methods in quantum chemistryTeke, Nakul Kushabhau 31 January 2023 (has links)
To follow up on the unexpectedly-good performance of coupled-cluster models with approx- imate inclusion of 3-body clusters [J. Chem. Phys. 151, 064102 (2019)] we performed a more complete assessment of the 3CC method [J. Chem. Phys. 125, 204105 (2006)] for accurate computational thermochemistry in the standard HEAT framework. New spin- integrated implementation of the 3CC method applicable to closed- and open-shell systems utilizes a new automated toolchain for derivation, optimization, and evaluation of operator algebra in many-body electronic structure. We found that with a double-zeta basis set the 3CC correlation energies and their atomization energy contributions are almost always more accurate (with respect to the CCSDTQ reference) than the CCSDT model as well as the standard CCSD(T) model. The mean errors in { 3CC, CCSDT, and CCSD(T) } electronic (per valence electron) and atomization energies were {23, 69, 125} μEh/e and {0.39, 1.92, 2.57} kJ/mol, respectively. The significant and systematic reduction of the error by the 3CC method and its lower cost than CCSDT suggests it as a viable candidate for post-CCSD(T) thermochemistry application. / Doctor of Philosophy / Stepping into the information age, the computing power has rapidly grown over the last half century. Solving chemical problems on computers has improved lives by reducing the cost and time of researching critical technologies. Scientific research is evolving and experimental finding are now supported with a computational model. Doing chemistry on computers requires quantum simulations, which is essentially solving the Schr ̈odinger equation on a computer that simulates a wave function for all the electrons in a system. Different models are built based on how these inter electronic interactions are treated. To predict results with accuracy on par with the experimental findings requires using higher-order wave functions methods.These are computationally expensive and often not practical. The lower-order methods that are easy to implement can be found in all quantum chemistry software packages.
On the other hand, the higher-order methods are laborious and error prone to implement manually due to the sheer complexity of theory. Debugging such implementations often requires a lot of effort with the uncertainty in returns. To solve this problem, we implemented a second-quantization toolkit (SeQuant version 2.0) that derives many-body methods, specifically the general-order coupled cluster (CC) model. The CC model is systematically improvable and accurate. One such CC model, the CCSD(T), has been called the gold standard in quantum chemistry. For compactness, these equations are usually derived in their spin-orbital form. The evaluation and storage cost of these methods is reduced up to four-fold by transforming the spin-orbital expressions to a spin-traced form. In this work, the spin-tracing algorithms are described in detail. The general-order coupled cluster approach is used to derive the internally corrected approximate coupled cluster methods. These methods improve the accuracy of a model at a reduced cost.
For small molecules, it was observed that the spin-traced evaluation was over three times faster than spin-orbital coupled cluster. To further reduce the cost of calculations, we added explicit correlation to our CC models. These methods improved the quality of our results with a modest increase in the computational cost.
