Dynamical mean-field theory for quantum chemistry

The dynamical mean-field concept of approximating an unsolvable many-body problem in terms of the solution of an auxiliary quantum impurity problem, introduced to study bulk materials with a continuous energy spectrum, is here extended to molecules, i.e., finite systems with a discrete energy spectrum. The application to small clusters of hydrogen atoms yields ground state energies which are competitive with leading quantum chemical approaches at intermediate and large interatomic distances as well as good approximations to the excitation spectrum.     

1/f alpha noise in spectral fluctuations of quantum systems

The power law 1/f(alpha) in the power spectrum characterizes the fluctuating observables of many complex natural systems. Considering the energy levels of a quantum system as a discrete time series where the energy plays the role of time, the level fluctuations can be characterized by the power spectrum. Using a family of quantum billiards, we analyze the order-to-chaos transition in terms of this power spectrum. A power law 1/f(alpha) is found at all the transition stages, and it is shown that the exponent alpha is related to the chaotic component of the classical phase space of the quantum system.     

Quantum Statistics for General Quadratic System

By the generalized linear quantum transformation theory, we concisely derive the analytic expressions of partition function for general quadratic systems of multi-mode boson and fermion Fock space without any information for the energy spectrum. Under a general condition, we firstly acquire the exact expressions of energy spectra for these systems.     

Theoretical derivation of 1/f noise in quantum chaos

It was recently conjectured that 1/f noise is a fundamental characteristic of spectral fluctuations in chaotic quantum systems. This conjecture is based on the power spectrum behavior of the excitation energy fluctuations, which is different for chaotic and integrable systems. Using random matrix theory, we derive theoretical expressions that explain without free parameters the universal behavior of the excitation energy fluctuations power spectrum. The theory gives excellent agreement with numerical calculations and reproduces to a good approximation the 1/f (1/f(2)) power law characteristic of chaotic (integrable) systems. Moreover, the theoretical results are valid for semiclassical systems as well.     

Bohr correspondence principle for large quantum numbers

Periodic systems are considered whose increments in quantum energy grow with quantum number. In the limit of large quantum number, systems are found to give correspondence in form between classical and quantum frequency-energy dependences. Solely passing to large quantum numbers, however, does not guarantee the classical spectrum. For the examples cited, successive quantum frequencies remain separated by the incrementhI ^?1, whereI is independent of quantum number. Frequency correspondence follows in Planck's limit,h → 0. The first example is that of a particle in a cubical box with impenetrable walls. The quantum emission spectrum is found to be uniformly discrete over the whole frequency range. This quality holds in the limitn → ∞. The discrete spectrum due to transitions in the high-quantum-number bound states of a particle in a box with penetrable walls is shown to grow uniformly discrete in the limit that the well becomes infinitely deep. For the infinitely deep spherical well, on the other hand, correspondence is found to be obeyed both in emission and configuration. In all cases studied the classical ensemble gives a continuum of frequencies.     

On the finiteness of discrete spectrum in the n-particle problem

In spaces of functions of any given symmetry sufficient conditions have been obtained for the discrete spectrum finiteness of the energy operators of many particle quantum systems in the absence of external fields.The most general case is considered when the beginning of the essential spectrum of the Hamiltonian is defined by breaking the initial system into any number of stable subsystems. Results obtained are applicable, in particular, to systems with a short-range and to systems with long-range action (in the case of interaction compensation).     

Discrete Hamiltonian symmetries and semiclassical quantization

Most quantum Hamiltonian systems exhibit discrete symmetries. Allowing for these is crucial when properly calculating the fluctuation properties of the quantal spectrum. These properties are then employed to distinguish between classically chaotic or non-chaotic quantum systems. In general, semiclassical quantization procedures do not take into account irreducible representations of the Hamiltonian. A procedure is presented to take these into account in semiclassical quantization schemes and calculate some of the energy eigenvalues belonging to a specific irreducible representation.     

New representation of quantum chaos

A non-integrable system has an irregular spectrum for stationary bound energy levels. It is shown that the irregular sequence of level spacings gives an unambiguous representation of chaos in quantum systems.     

Gap Labelling and the Pressure on the Boundary

In quantum systems described by covariant families of 1-particle Schrödinger operators on half-spaces the pressure on the boundary per unit energy is topologically quantised if the Fermi energy lies in a gap of the bulk spectrum. Its relation with the integrated density of states can be expressed in an integrated version of Streda’s formula. This leads also to a gap labelling theorem for systems with constant magnetic field. The proof uses non-commutative topology.     

Equation for spectrum of electron states in a potential well with uneven bottom

A method is proposed to determine the spectrum of bound states of electron making a stationary motion in a three-dimensional quantum well with uneven bottom. It is shown that the problem of finding the energy eigenvalues is reduced to investigation of multichannel scattering of the particle from the internal part of potential. Equation for the energy, depending on the transmission and reflection amplitudes, is obtained. For illustration of application of the method to concrete systems, a three-dimensional asymmetric quantum well with uneven bottom is considered.     

Electronic states in a step quantum well in a magnetic field

The quantum states and energy spectrum of an electron in a rectangular step quantum well in a magnetic field parallel to the plane of two-dimensional electronic gas are investigated. It is shown that the joint effect of a magnetic field and confining potential of quantum well results in radical change of the electron energy spectrum. The energy dependencies on the parameters of the quantum well and magnetic field induction are investigated. Numerical calculations are carried out for an AlAs/ GaAlAs/ GaAs/ AlAs step quantum well.     

抛物量子点中弱耦合磁极化子的性质

应用线性组合算符和幺正变换方法研究了抛物量子点中磁极化子的基态性质。得出基态能和基态束缚能随有效束缚强度增大而减小,随回旋频率增大而增大。当有效柬缚强度给定,基态能量随电子-体纵光学声子耦合强度增加而减小。当有效束缚强度l0>0.3时,电子-体纵光学声子耦合强度的变化对量子点中弱耦合磁极化子的基态能量的影响变得显著。当有效束缚强度l0<0.3时,电子-体纵光学声子耦合强度的变化对基态能量影响很小。由于有效束缚强度与量子点受限强度的平方根成反比,所以量子点受限越强,基态能量、基态束缚能越大,电子一体纵光学声子耦合强度和磁场的变化对量子点的影响相对越小;当量子点受限变弱时,电子-声子耦合强度变化对量子点的影响变大,磁场对量子点的影响也变大,所以在量子点中,极化子对量子点的影响不容忽略。     

Nonlinear quantum shock waves in fractional quantum Hall edge states

Using the Calogero model as an example, we show that the transport in interacting nondissipative electronic systems is essentially nonlinear and unstable. Nonlinear effects are due to the curvature of the electronic spectrum near the Fermi energy. As is typical for nonlinear systems, a propagating semiclassical wave packet develops a shock wave at a finite time. A wave packet collapses into oscillatory features which further evolve into regularly structured localized pulses carrying a fractionally quantized charge. The Calogero model can be used to describe fractional quantum Hall edge states. We discuss perspectives of observation of quantum shock waves and a direct measurement of the fractional charge in fractional quantum Hall edge states.     

Stability of Quantum Systems at Three Scales: Passivity, Quantum Weak Energy Inequalities and the Microlocal Spectrum Condition

Quantum weak energy inequalities have recently been extensively discussed as a condition on the dynamical stability of quantum field states, particularly on curved spacetimes. We formulate the notion of a quantum weak energy inequality for general dynamical systems on static background spacetimes and establish a connection between quantum weak energy inequalities and thermodynamics. Namely, for such a dynamical system, we show that the existence of a class of states satisfying a quantum weak inequality implies that passive states (e.g., mixtures of ground- and thermal equilibrium states) exist for the time-evolution of the system and, therefore, that the second law of thermodynamics holds. As a model system, we consider the free scalar quantum field on a static spacetime. Although the Weyl algebra does not satisfy our general assumptions, our abstract results do apply to a related algebra which we construct, following a general method which we carefully describe, in Hilbert-space representations induced by quasifree Hadamard states. We discuss the problem of reconstructing states on the Weyl algebra from states on the new algebra and give conditions under which this may be accomplished. Previous results for linear quantum fields show that, on one hand, quantum weak energy inequalities follow from the Hadamard condition (or microlocal spectrum condition) imposed on the states, and on the other hand, that the existence of passive states implies that there is a class of states fulfilling the microlocal spectrum condition. Thus, the results of this paper indicate that these three conditions of dynamical stability are essentially equivalent. This observation is significant because the three conditions become effective at different length scales: The microlocal spectrum condition constrains the short-distance behaviour of quantum states (microscopic stability), quantum weak energy inequalities impose conditions at finite distance (mesoscopic stability), and the existence of passive states is a statement on the global thermodynamic stability of the system (macroscopic stability).Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Inselstr. 22, 04103 Leipzig, Germany. verch@mis.mpg.de

Stabilization of quantum system with coulomb and short-range potentials in strong laser field

The ionization dynamics of the quantum systems with the Coulomb and short-range potentials in the presence of a strong radiation field is investigated. The features of the stabilization regime are discussed at various structures of the energy spectrum of the quantum system and the parameters of the radiation pulse. It is demonstrated that specific shapes of the atomic potential and the pulse parameters lead to either the interference stabilization or the Kramers-Henneberger stabilization. A relation between various stabilization effects and the conditions for them are analyzed.     

Universal canonical entropy for gravitating systems

The thermodynamics of general relativistic systems with boundary, obeying a Hamiltonian constraint in the bulk, is determined solely by the boundary quantum dynamics, and hence by the area spectrum. Assuming, for large area of the boundary, (a) an area spectrum as determined by non-perturbative canonical quantum general relativity (NCQGR), (b) an energy spectrum that bears a power law relation to the area spectrum, (c) an area law for the leading order microcanonical entropy, leading thermal fluctuation corrections to the canonical entropy are shown to be logarithmic in area with a universal coefficient. Since the microcanonical entropy also has universal logarithmic corrections to the area law (from quantum space-time fluctuations, as found earlier) the canonical entropy then has a universal form including logarithmic corrections to the area law. This form is shown to be independent of the index appearing in assumption (b). The index, however, is crucial in ascertaining the domain of validity of our approach based on thermal equilibrium.
