We present an entirely microscopic calculation of the Casimir force f(d) between two metallic plates in the limit of large separation d. The models of metals consist of mobile quantum charges in thermal equilibrium with the photon field at positive tempera ...
The spectrum of exponentially weighted covariance matrices is studied here. We first give a formal way of obtaining the spectrum using annealed approximation frequently used in Statistical Mechanics. Using the method developed by Bai and Silverstein we obt ...
In this work we derive a theory of polariton condensation based on the theory of interacting Bose particles. In particular, we describe self-consistently the linear exciton-photon coupling and the exciton-nonlinearities, by generalizing the Hartree-Fock-Po ...

Starting from the quantum statistical master equation derived in [1] we show how the connection to the semi-classical Boltzmann equation (SCBE) can be established and how irreversibility is related to the problem of separability of quantum mechanics. Our p ...
By comparing a kinetic and a thermal-equilibrium theory of polariton Bose-Einstein condensation, we study under what conditions the dynamical condensation under steady-state non-resonant pumping can approach thermal equilibrium. In particular, we study the ...
In order to compute the thermodynamic weights of the different metastable conformations of a molecule, we want to approximate the molecule’s Boltzmann distribution π in a reasonable time. This is an essential issue in computational drug design. The energy l ...
We investigate the nonlinear optical dynamics of excitons and trions in CdTe modulation-doped quantum wells by time and spectrally resolved pump-probe experiments. We find that the nonlinearities induced by excitons are different from those due to the pres ...
We use infrared-visible double-resonance overtone excitation to prepare HOCl molecules in single, well-characterized rotational levels of the high OH stretching states v(OH) = 7 and v(OH) = 8. This work extends our recent studies on HOCl dissociation dynam ...
We study the evolution of a system composed of N non-interacting particles of mass m distributed in a cylinder of length L. The cylinder is separated into two parts by an adiabatic piston of a mass M ≫ m. The length of the cylinder is a fix paramete ...
