Thermal phase transition for some spin-boson models
(2013-09-01)
In this work we study two different spin-boson models. Such models are generalizations of the Dicke model, it means they describe systems of N identical two-level atoms coupled to a single-mode quantized bosonic field, ...
Phase transitions and order-by-quantum disorder for the anti- ferromagnetic XY model in the checkerboard lattice
(Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2018)
Field-induced length changes in the spin-liquid candidate κ-(BEDT-TTF) 2Cu 2(CN) 3
(2012-05-01)
Measurements of the coefficient of thermal expansion on the spin-liquid candidate κ-(BEDT-TTF) 2Cu 2(CN) 3 have revealed distinct and strongly anisotropic lattice effects around 6 K - a possible spin liquid instability. ...
Quantum state density and critical temperature in M-theory
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2001-11-20)
We discuss the asymptotic properties of quantum states density for fundamental p-branes which can yield a microscopic interpretation of the thermodynamic quantities in M-theory. The matching of the BPS part of spectrum for ...
Path integral approach to the full Dicke model
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-10-01)
The full Dicke model describes a system of N identical two level-atoms coupled to a single mode quantized bosonic field. The model considers rotating and counter-rotating coupling terms between the atoms and the bosonic ...
Phase transitions in the two-dimensional anisotropic biquadratic Heisenberg model
(Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2019)
Dynamics of the deconfinement transition of quarks and gluons in a finite volume
(Elsevier B.V., 2009-04-01)
We employ finite elements methods for the approximation of solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations describing the deconfinement transition in quantum chromodynamics. These methods seem appropriate for situations where ...
Non-local effects at the onset of the chiral transition
(Sociedade Brasileira de Física, 2007-07-01)
Inspired by analytic results obtained for a systematic expansion of the memory kernel in dissipative quantum mechanics, we propose a phenomenological procedure to incorporate non-markovian corrections to the Langevin ...
Macroscopic quantum tunneling in a dc SQUID: Instanton splitting
(1994-12-01)
The theory of macroscopic quantum tunneling is applied to a current-biased dc SQUID which constitutes a system of two interacting quantum degrees of freedom coupled to the environment. The decay probability is obtained in ...
Quantum topology change and large-N gauge theories
(2004-10-01)
We study a model for dynamical localization of topology using ideas from non-commutative geometry and topology in quantum mechanics. We consider a collection X of N one-dimensional manifolds and the corresponding set of ...
