The main objective of a statistical mechanical calculation is drawing the phase diagram of a many-body system. In this respect, discrete systems offer the clear advantage over continuum systems of an easier enumeration of microstates, though at the cost of added abstraction. With this in mind, we examine a system of particles living on the vertices of the (biscribed) pentakis dodecahedron, using different couplings for first and second neighbor particles to induce a competition between icosahedral and dodecahedral orders. After working out the phases of the model at zero temperature, we carry out Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations at finite temperature, highlighting the existence of smooth transitions between distinct “phases”. The sharpest of these crossovers are characterized by hysteretic behavior near zero temperature, which reveals a bottleneck issue for Metropolis dynamics in state space. Next, we introduce the quantum (Bose-Hubbard) counterpart of the previous model and calculate its phase diagram at zero and finite temperatures using the decoupling approximation. We thus uncover, in addition to Mott insulating “solids”, also the existence of supersolid “phases” which progressively shrink as the system is heated up. We argue that a quantum system of the kind described here can be realized with programmable holographic optical tweezers.

We investigate the non-equilibrium properties of a weakly interacting Bose gas subjected to a multi-pulsed quench at zero temperature, where the interaction parameter in the Hamiltonian system switches between values [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] for multiple times. The one-body and two-body correlation functions as well as Tan’s contact are calculated. The quench induced excitations are shown to increase with the number of quenches for both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. This implies the possibility to use multi-pulsed quantum quench as a more powerful way as compared to the “one-off” quench in controllable explorations of non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems. In addition, we study the ultra-short-range property of the two-body correlation function after multiple interaction quenches, which can serve as a probe of the “Tan’s contact” in the experiments. Our findings allow for an experimental probe using state of the art techniques with ultracold quantum gases.

In recent years, tools from quantum information theory have become indispensable in characterizing many-body systems. In this work, we employ measures of entanglement to study the interplay between disorder and the topological phase in 1D systems of the Kitaev type, which can host Majorana end modes at their edges. We find that the entanglement entropy may actually increase as a result of disorder, and identify the origin of this behavior in the appearance of an infinite-disorder critical point. We also employ the entanglement spectrum to accurately determine the phase diagram of the system, and find that disorder may enhance the topological phase, and lead to the appearance of Majorana zero modes in systems whose clean version is trivial.

The zero-temperature ground state properties of experimental 87Rb condensate are studied in a harmonic plus quartic trap [ V(r) =  ½mω2r2 + λr4 ]. The anharmonic parameter (λ) is slowly tuned from harmonic to anharmonic. For each choice of λ, the many-particle Schrödinger equation is solved using the potential harmonic expansion method and determines the lowest effective many-body potential. We utilize the correlated two-body basis function, which keeps all possible two-body correlations. The use of van der Waals interaction gives realistic pictures. We calculate kinetic energy, trapping potential energy, interaction energy, and total ground state energy of the condensate in this confining potential, modelled experimentally. The motivation of the present study is to investigate the crucial dependency of the properties of an interacting quantum many-body system on λ. The average size of the condensate has also been calculated to observe how the stability of repulsive condensate depends on anharmonicity. In particular, our calculation presents a clear physical picture of the repulsive condensate in an anharmonic trap.

This article briefly reviews recent theoretical developments in quantum critical phenomena in one-dimensional (1D) integrable quantum gases of cold atoms. We present a discussion on quantum phase transitions, universal thermodynamics, scaling functions and correlations for a few prototypical exactly solved models, such as the Lieb–Liniger Bose gas, the spin-1 Bose gas with antiferromagnetic spin-spin interaction, the two-component interacting Fermi gas as well as spin-3/2 Fermi gases. We demonstrate that their corresponding Bethe ansatz solutions provide a precise way to understand quantum many-body physics, such as quantum criticality, Luttinger liquids (LLs), the Wilson ratio, Tan's Contact, etc. These theoretical developments give rise to a physical perspective using integrability for uncovering experimentally testable phenomena in systems of interacting bosonic and fermonic ultracold atoms confined to 1D.

The necessity of finding scientifically grounded methods for the development of new heat-resistant, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys is presented in the present work. For this purpose, the analysis of modern methods for computer calculation of phase diagrams in multicomponent metal systems using the Thermo-Calc program was carried out. Therefore, a quantitative analysis of the phase diagram the Al-Cu-Mn-Zr system was carried out, as the basis of deformable high-temperature aluminum alloys. Isothermal and polythermal sections of the phase diagram were calculated in this system. The temperatures of phase transformations were calculated. The mass and volume fractions of the phases in the studied alloys were calculated. The range of concentrations and temperatures at which the maximum amount of dispersoids Al20Cu2Mn3 may be achieved, was defined. The minimum amount of Al2Cu phase is calculated, which should correspond to the best heat resistance of alloys. It is substantiated that in the alloys of a new generation of ALTEK type, the use of homogenization and quenching operations is inexpedient, which implies the possibility of a significant reduction in the cost of heat treatment in comparison with industrial alloys, such as 1201.
