Bohmian Mechanics as a Practical Tool
Xabier Oianguren-Asua, Carlos F. Destefani, Matteo Villani +2
In this chapter, we will take a trip around several hot-spots where Bohmian mechanics and its capacity to describe the microscopic reality, even in the absence of measurements, can…
Assessing Quantum Thermalization in Physical and Configuration Spaces via Many-Body Weak Values
Carlos F. Destefani, Xavier Oriols
We explore the origin of the arrow of time in an isolated quantum system described by the Schroedinger equation. We provide an explanation from weak values in the configuration spa…
Kirchhoff's Current Law with Displacement Current
Robert Eisenberg, Xavier Oriols, David K. Ferry
Kirchhoff's Current Law is an essential tool in the design of circuits that operate very quickly, faster than nanoseconds. But Kirchhoff's current is often identified as the flow o…
Resonant tunneling diodes in semiconductor microcavities: modeling polaritonic features in the THz displacement current
Carlos F. Destefani, Matteo Villani, Xavier Cartoixà +2
We develop in this work a simple qualitative quantum electron transport model, in the strong light-matter coupling regime under dipole approximation, able to capture polaritonic si…
Scattering in Terms of Bohmian Conditional Wave Functions for Scenarios with Non-Commuting Energy and Momentum Operators
Matteo Villani, Guillermo Albareda, Carlos Destefani +2
Without access to the full quantum state, modeling quantum transport in mesoscopic systems requires dealing with a limited number of degrees of freedom. In this work, we analyze th…
Can Wigner distribution functions with collisions satisfy complete positivity and energy conservation?
Matteo Villani, Xavier Oriols
To avoid the computational burden of many-body quantum simulation, the interaction of an electron with a photon (phonon) is typically accounted for by disregarding the explicit sim…
