Rayleigh-Taylor instability under curved substrates: An optimal transient growth analysis

François Gallaire, Gioele Mariano Nicolò Balestra, Pierre-Thomas Paul Brun

We investigate the stability of thin viscous films coated on the inside of a horizontal cylindrical substrate. In such a case, gravity acts both as a stabilizing force through the progressive drainage of the film and as a destabilizing force prone to form ...

Low rank differential equations for Hamiltonian matrix nearness problems

Daniel Kressner

For a Hamiltonian matrix with purely imaginary eigenvalues, we aim to determine the nearest Hamiltonian matrix such that some or all eigenvalues leave the imaginary axis. Conversely, for a Hamiltonian matrix with all eigenvalues lying off the imaginary axi ...

New Anomalous Lieb-Robinson Bounds in Quasiperiodic XY Chains

Marius Christopher Lemm

We announce and sketch the rigorous proof of a new kind of anomalous (or sub-ballistic) Lieb-Robinson (LR) bound for an isotropic XY chain in a quasiperiodic transversal magnetic field. Instead of the usual effective light cone |x|≤v|t|, we obtain |x|≤v|t| ...

Symmetry Reduction Of Brownian Motion And Quantum Calogero-Moser Models

Simon Hochgerner

Let Q be a Riemannian G-manifold. This paper is concerned with the symmetry reduction of Brownian motion in Q and ramifications thereof in a Hamiltonian context. Specializing to the case of polar actions, we discuss various versions of the stochastic Hamil ...

Impact of saturation on the polariton renormalization in III-nitride based planar microcavities

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin, Jacques Levrat, Georg Rossbach

It has been widely observed that an increasing carrier density in a strongly coupled semiconductor microcavity (MC) alters the dispersion of cavity polaritons, below and above the condensation threshold. The interacting nature of cavity polaritons stems fr ...

Efficient DFT+U calculations of ballistic electron transport: Application to Au monatomic chains with a CO impurity

Gabriele Sclauzero

An efficient method for computing the Landauer-Buttiker conductance of an open quantum system within DFT + U is presented. The Hubbard potential is included in electronic-structure and transport calculations as a simple renormalization of the nonlocal pseu ...

Emergence and Detection of Exotic Phases in Spin-1 Systems

Frédéric Alexis Michaud

This work is devoted to the study of spin S = 1 systems, and more precisely to the emergence of exotic quantum phases in such systems, and to the establishment of tools to observe such phases. It is split in four main chapters. In the first chapter, we sho ...

The research program of Stochastic Deformation (with a view toward Geometric Mechanics)

This is an overview of a program of stochastic deformation of the mathematical tools of classical mechanics, in the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches. It can also be regarded as a stochastic version of Geometric Mechanics.The main idea is to construct ...

Quasi-equilibria in reduced Liouville spaces

David Lyndon Emsley

The quasi-equilibrium behaviour of isolated nuclear spin systems in full and reduced Liouville spaces is discussed. We focus in particular on the reduced Liouville spaces used in the low-order correlations in Liouville space (LCL) simulation method, a rest ...

Accelerating Calculations of Ultrafast Time-Resolved Electronic Spectra with Efficient Quantum Dynamics Methods

Jiri Vanicek, Miroslav Sulc, Marius Wehrle

We explore three specific approaches for speeding up the calculation of quantum time correlation functions needed for time-resolved electronic spectra. The first relies on finding a minimum set of sufficiently accurate electronic surfaces. The second incre ...
