Longitudinal response function of 4He with a realistic force

S. Bacca, N. Barnea, W. Leidemann +1

The longitudinal response function of 4He is calculated with the Argonne V18 potential. The comparison with experiment suggests the need of a three-body force. When adding the Urba…

Localization of nonlocal theories

Gianluca Calcagni, Michele Montobbio, Giuseppe Nardelli

We show that a certain class of nonlocal scalar models, with a kinetic operator inspired by string field theory, is equivalent to a system which is local in the coordinates but non…

Stabilization of Solitons Generated by a Supersonic Flow of Bose-Einstein Condensate Past an Obstacle

A. M. Kamchatnov, L. P. Pitaevskii

Stability of dark solitons generated by a supersonic flow of Bose-Einstein condensate past an obstacle is investigated. It is shown that in the reference frame attached to the obst…

Cosmological horizons and reconstruction of quantum field theories

C. Dappiaggi, V. Moretti, N. Pinamonti

As a starting point, we state some relevant geometrical properties enjoyed by the cosmological horizon of a certain class of Friedmann-Robertson-Walker backgrounds. Those propertie…

Phase diagram of nuclear "pasta" and its uncertainties in supernova cores

Hidetaka Sonoda, Gentaro Watanabe, Katsuhiko Sato +2

We examine the model dependence of the phase diagram of inhomogeneous nulcear matter in supernova cores using the quantum molecular dynamics (QMD). Inhomogeneous matter includes cr…

Ultra-cold dipolar gases

Chiara Menotti, Maciej Lewenstein

We present a concise review of the physics of ultra-cold dipolar gases, based mainly on the theoretical developments in our own group. First, we discuss shortly weakly interacting…

Optical properties of atomic Mott insulators: from slow light to dynamical Casimir effects

Iacopo Carusotto, Mauro Antezza, Francesco Bariani +2

We theoretically study the optical properties of a gas of ultracold, coherently dressed three-level atoms in a Mott insulator phase of an optical lattice. The vacuum state, the ban…

Vibrational excitations in systems with correlated disorder

W. Schirmacher, B. Schmid, C. Tomaras +4

We investigate a -dimensional model ( = 2,3) for sound waves in a disordered environment, in which the local fluctuations of the elastic modulus are spatially correlated with…

Entanglement, Non-linear Dynamics, and the Heisenberg Limit

L. Pezze', A. Smerzi

We show that the quantum Fisher information provides a sufficient condition to recognize multi-particle entanglement in a qubit state. The same criterion gives a necessary and…

Non-local density correlations as signal of Hawking radiation in BEC acoustic black holes

Roberto Balbinot, Alessandro Fabbri, Serena Fagnocchi +2

We have used the analogy between gravitational systems and non-homogeneous fluid flows to calculate the density-density correlation function of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate i…

The Scalar Glueball in the Instanton Vacuum

M. C. Tichy, P. Faccioli

We study the contribution of instantons to the binding and the mass of the lightest scalar glueball, in gluondynamics. We show that the short-range correlations introduced by such…

Destroying superfluidity by rotating a Fermi gas at unitarity

I. Bausmerth, A. Recati, S. Stringari

We study the effect of the rotation on a harmonically trapped Fermi gas at zero temperature under the assumption that vortices are not formed. We show that at unitarity the rotatio…

Atom interferometry with a weakly-interacting Bose Einstein condensate

Marco Fattori, Chiara D'Errico, Giacomo Roati +5

We demonstrate the operation of an atom interferometer based on a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate. We strongly reduce the interaction induced decoherence that usually l…

Vector bundles on Hirzebruch surfaces whose twists by a non-ample line bundle have natural cohomology

E. Ballico, F. Malaspina

Here we study vector bundles on the Hirzebruch surface such that their twists by a spanned, but not ample, line bundle have natural cohomol…

Thermodynamical properties of hairy black holes in n spacetimes dimensions

Mario Nadalini, Luciano Vanzo, Sergio Zerbini

The issue concerning the existence of exact black hole solutions in presence of non vanishing cosmological constant and scalar fields is reconsidered. With regard to this, in inves…
