Phase separation in complex systems is a ubiquitous phenomenon. While simple theories predict coarsening until only macroscopically large phases remain, concrete models often exhibit patterns with finite length scales. T...

We study the effect of suddenly turning on a long-range interaction in a spinless Fermi gas in two dimensions. The short- to intermediate-time dynamics is described using the method of bosonization of the Fermi surface. ...

We introduce a method to synthetically engineer the range of dipolar interactions in tweezer atom arrays by effectively modifying the electromagnetic environment with far-detuned relay atoms. We derive equations of moti...

We investigate theoretically how the spin-orbit Dresselhaus and Rashba effects influence the electronic structure of quasi-one-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots, similar to those that can be formed inside semiconduc...

We study the Schrödinger equation with 1/r^{3} and attractive 1/r^{2} potentials. Using the quantum defect theory, we obtain analytical solutions for both repulsive and attractive 1/r^{3} interactions. The obtained dis...

In this article we compute the Casimir force between two finite-width mirrors at finite temperature, working in a simplified model in 1+1 dimensions. The mirrors, considered as dissipative media, are modeled by a continu...

A quantum-mechanical many-particle system may exhibit nonlocal behavior in that measurements performed on one of the particles can affect a second one that is far apart. These so-called entangled states are crucial for t...

One of the roadblocks toward the implementation of a fault-tolerant superconducting quantum processor is impacts of ionizing radiation with the qubit substrate. Such impacts temporarily elevate the density of quasipartic...

Effective-medium approaches, such as the coherent potential approximation, are commonly used to describe the rigidity transition of disordered elastic networks. While successful in capturing the universal critical behavi...

The doping of semiconductors with magnetic impurities gives rise not only to a spin-spin interaction between quasifree carriers and magnetic impurities but also to a local spin-independent disorder potential for the carr...

We explore how the quantum geometric properties of the Bloch wave function, characterized by the Hilbert-Schmidt quantum distance, impact magnetic phases in solid-state systems. To this end, we investigate the spin susce...

The search strategy or the discovery of new effects for heavy neutrinos often rely on their different decay channels to detectable particles. In particular, in this work we study the decay of a Majorana neutrino with int...

Theoretical matrix elements, for the ground-state to ground-statetwo-neutrino double-beta-decay mode(2 nu }beta -beta of Te128,130isotopes, are calculated within a formalism that describes interactionsbetween neutrons in...

We show how a theory for electrocatalysis developed in our group can be combined with density-functional theory in order to obtain free-energy surfaces for electrochemical reactions. The combined theory is applied to the...

Many candidate non-Abelian quantum Hall states are accompanied by nearby “daughter” states, which are proposed to identify their topological order. Combining exact diagonalization and trial wave functions, we provide...

The exact expression for the collective diffusion coefficient in one dimension, obtained by Payne and Kreuzer [Phys. Rev. B. 75, 115403 (2007)], is compared with Monte Carlo simulation. Different hopping kinetics are ana...

Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling theory have been carried out to study the critical behavior and universality for the isotropic-nematic (IN) phase transition in a system of straight rigid pentamers adsorbe...

Quantum systems with strong long-range interactions are thought to robustly resist thermalization because their energy spectra organize into a discrete number of multiplets. We show that this nonthermal behavior is surpr...

Superionic conductors (SICs) exhibit liquidlike ionic diffusivities while maintaining a periodic crystalline lattice, making them promising candidates for applications in fuel cells, solid-state electrolytes, and thermoe...

Stern-Gerlach interferometer (SGI) is a kind of matter-wave interferometer driven by magnetic field and has been proposed for various gravity experiments. Stochastic noises can lead to decoherence problems of SGI via var...

Cancer cells have an altered metabolism that increases acid production driving to an extracellular pH significantly lower than normal. This leads to normal cell death, and extracellular matrix degradation allowing the fo...

For protein structure to prevail in water, its backbone hydrogen bonds must be shielded from water attack, requiring a cluster of “wrapping” nonpolar groups. Thus, underwrapped regions are adhesive, as exogenous remo...

We develop an age-structured hydrodynamic (HD) theory that describes the collective behavior of N≫1 anomalously diffusing particles under stochastic renewal resetting. The theory treats the age of a particle—the time...

In this work we address the classical statistical mechanical problem of calculating the residual entropy of ice models. The numerical work found in the literature is usually based on extrapolating to infinite-size result...
