Self-Interaction and Polarons in Density Functional Theory

The electron self-interaction is a long-standing problem in density functional theory and is particularly critical in the description of polarons. Polarons are quasiparticles involving charge localization coupled with self-induced lattice distortions. Sinc ...

Non-Gaussian superradiant transition via three-body ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

We introduce a class of quantum optical Hamiltonians characterized by three-body couplings and propose a circuit-QED scheme based on state-of-the-art technology that implements the considered model. Unlike two-body light-matter interactions, this three-bod ...

Ultra long turbulent eddies, magnetic topology, and the triggering of internal transport barriers in tokamaks

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball, Arnas Volcokas

Local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak plasmas demonstrate that turbulent eddies can extend along magnetic field lines for hundreds of poloidal turns when the magnetic shear is very small. By accurately modeling different field line topologies ...

Phonon Self-Energy Corrections: To Screen, or Not to Screen

Nicola Marzari, Samuel Poncé

First-principles calculations of phonons are often based on the adiabatic approximation and on Brillouinzone samplings that might not always be sufficient to capture the subtleties of Kohn anomalies. These shortcomings can be addressed through corrections ...

Bounds on scattering of neutral Goldstones

Andrea Guerrieri, Denis Karateev, Kelian Philippe Häring

We study the space of

2\to 2

scattering amplitudes of neutral Goldstone bosons in four space-time dimensions. We establish universal bounds on the first two non-universal Wilson coefficients of the low energy Effective Field Theory (EFT) for such particl ...

Many-Body Self-Interaction and Polarons

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

We address the many-body self-interaction in relation to polarons in density functional theory. Our study provides (i) a unified theoretical framework encompassing many-body and one-body forms of self-interaction and (ii) an efficient semilocal scheme for ...

From SU(2)5 to SU(2)3 Wess-Zumino-Witten transitions in a frustrated spin-52 chain

Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga

We investigate the properties of a frustrated spin-5/2 chain with next-nearest-neighbor two- and three-site interactions, with two questions in mind: the nature of the transition into the dimerized phase induced by the three-site interaction, and the possi ...

Production of Chern-Simons bosons in decays of mesons

Kyrylo Bondarenko, Pavlo Kashko

We consider the effective interaction of quarks with a new GeV-scale vector particle that couples to electroweak gauge bosons by the so-called effective Chern-Simons (CS) interaction. We call this particle the CS boson. We construct effective Lagrangian of ...

General invariance and equilibrium conditions for lattice dynamics in 1D, 2D, and 3D materials

Nicola Marzari, Changpeng Lin, Samuel Poncé

The long-wavelength behavior of vibrational modes plays a central role in carrier transport, phonon-assisted optical properties, superconductivity, and thermomechanical and thermoelectric properties of materials. Here, we present general invariance and equ ...

Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime

Kamran Salehi Vaziri

Quantum Field Theory(QFT) as one of the most promising frameworks to study high energy and condensed matter physics, has been mostly developed by perturbative methods. However, perturbative methods can only capture a small island of the space of QFTs.QFT i ...
