QED second order corrections on the speed of light at low temperature
We want to study thermal corrections on the speed of light at low temperature considering temperature dependence of photon vacuum polarization tensor at two-loop level in the standard QED. It is found that the heat bath behaves as a dispersive medium for the propagation of light and reduces its speed proportional to the second order of temperature. Similarities and differences, in light ...
متن کاملObservation of prethermalization in long-range interacting spin chains
Although statistical mechanics describes thermal equilibrium states, these states may or may not emerge dynamically for a subsystem of an isolated quantum many-body system. For instance, quantum systems that are near-integrable usually fail to thermalize in an experimentally realistic time scale, and instead relax to quasi-stationary prethermal states that can be described by statistical mechan...
متن کاملPrethermalization of atoms due to photon-mediated long-range interactions.
Atoms can spontaneously form spatially ordered structures in optical resonators when they are transversally driven by lasers. This occurs when the laser intensity exceeds a threshold value and results from the mechanical forces on the atoms associated with superradiant scattering into the cavity mode. We treat the atomic motion semiclassically and show that, while the onset of spatial ordering ...
متن کاملSpin Waves and Long-Range Order in the Diluted Heisenberg Ferromagnet at Zero Temperature
The variational treatment of spin waves in the randomly diluted Heisenberg ferromagnet at zero temperature is studied. It is argued that a convenient variational principle for the excitation spectrum of an alloy is difficult to formulate rigorously. However, at extremely long wavelengths a simple variational calculatation probably has approximate validity providing localized excitations in isol...
متن کاملNear-Surface Long-Range Order at the Ordinary Transition.
We study the spatial dependence of the order parameter near surfaces belonging to the universality class of the ordinary transition. Special attention is paid to the influence of a small surface magnetic field h1 at and above the bulk critical temperature. A detailed scaling analysis (which is confirmed by a perturbative calculation) reveals that h1 may give rise to an anomalous short-distance ...
