Quantum Rotors and Their Symmetries
Quantum rotors have been extensively studied in the past and turned out to be powerful theoretical tools in exploring the microscopic symmetries of the examined objects, but the variety of possibilities that their theory offers has been explored mainly in molecular physics. Nuclear physics applications, although numerous, have been primarily limited to the quantum Hamiltonians corresponding to ...
متن کاملN ov 2 00 5 Not So Classical Mechanics – Unexpected Symmetries of Classical Motion
A survey of topics of recent interest in Hamiltonian and Lagrangian dynamical systems, including accessible discussions of regularization of the central force problem; inequivalent Lagrangians and Hamiltonians; constants of central force motion; a general discussion of higher-order Lagrangians and Hamiltonians with examples from Bohmian quantum mechanics, the Korteweg-de Vries equation and the ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Yangian Symmetries
Quantum integrable models are characterized by the existence of commuting conserved charges which one is free to choose as Hamiltonians. They usually also possess extra symmetries which are at the origin of degeneracies in the spectrum. These symmetries are often not a group but a quantum group. The Yangians [1] are quantum group symmetries which (almost systematically) show up in integrable mo...
متن کاملHidden symmetries enhance quantum transport in Light Harvesting systems
For more than 50 years we have known that photosynthetic systems harvest solar energy with almost unit quantum efficiency. However, recent experimental evidence of quantum coherence during the excitonic energy transport in photosynthetic organisms challenges our understanding of this fundamental biological function. Currently, and despite numerous efforts, the causal connection between coherenc...
متن کاملStudying Many-Body Physics through Quantum Coding Theory
The emerging closeness between correlated spin systems and error-correcting codes enables us to use coding theoretical techniques to study physical properties of manybody spin systems. This thesis illustrates the use of classical and quantum coding theory in classifying quantum phases arising in many-body spin systems via a systematic study of stabilizer Hamiltonians with translation symmetries...
