Investigations of the exchange energy of neutral atoms in the large-Z limit
Jeremy J. Redd, Antonio C. Cancio, Nathan Argaman +1
The non-relativistic large- expansion of the exchange energy of neutral atoms provides an important input to modern non-empirical density functional approximations. Recent works…
Leading correction to the local density approximation for exchange in large- atoms
Nathan Argaman, Jeremy Redd, Antonio C. Cancio +1
The large- asymptotic expansion of atomic energies has been useful in determining exact conditions for corrections to the local density approximation in density functional theor…
Quantum Computation and Arrows of Time
Nathan Argaman
Quantum physics is surprising in many ways. One surprise is the threat to locality implied by Bell's Theorem. Another surprise is the capacity of quantum computation, which poses a…
Bell's Theorem and Locally-Mediated Reformulations of Quantum Mechanics
K. B. Wharton, N. Argaman
Bell's Theorem rules out many potential reformulations of quantum mechanics, but within a generalized framework, it does not exclude all "locally-mediated" models. Such models desc…
Bond-counting potentials -- A classical many-body model of covalent bonding with exact solutions in one dimension
Shlomi Matityahu, Nathan Argaman
We introduce "bond-counting" potentials, which provide an elementary description of covalent bonding. These simplistic potentials are intended for studies of the mechanisms behind…
A Lenient Causal Arrow of Time?
Nathan Argaman
One of the basic assumptions underlying Bell's theorem is the causal arrow of time, having to do with temporal order rather than spatial separation. Nonetheless, the physical assum…
Comment on "Cosmic Bell Test: Measurement Settings from Milky Way Stars"
Nathan Argaman
This Comment argues that two assumptions, which are presented as basic assumptions of Bell's theorem in [J. Handsteiner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 060401 (2017)] and elsewhere,…
Quantum particle statistics on the holographic screen leads to Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)
E. Pazy, N. Argaman
Employing a thermodynamic interpretation of gravity based on the holographic principle and assuming underlying particle statistics, fermionic or bosonic, for the excitations of the…
Finite-Temperature Density-Functional Theory of Bose-Einstein Condensates
Nathan Argaman, Y. B. Band
The thermodynamic approach to density functional theory (DFT) is used to derive a versatile theoretical framework for the treatment of finite-temperature (and in the limit, zero te…
Fractional occupation in Kohn-Sham density-functional theory and the treatment of non-pure-state v-representable densities
Eli Kraisler, Guy Makov, Nathan Argaman +1
In the framework of Kohn-Sham density-functional theory, systems with ground-state densities that are not pure-state v-representable in the non-interacting reference system (PSVR)…
Can elemental bismuth be a liquid crystal?
Nathan Argaman
A number of anomalies have been reported in molten Bi, including a first-order liquid-liquid transition at 1010K and ambient pressure, which is irreversible at cooling rates of sev…
Bell's Theorem and the Causal Arrow of Time
Nathan Argaman
Einstein held that the formalism of Quantum Mechanics (QM) entails "spooky actions at a distance". Indeed, in the 60's Bell showed that the predictions of QM disagree with the resu…
Thermodynamics as an alternative foundation for zero-temperature density functional theory and spin density functional theory
Nathan Argaman, Guy Makov
Thermodynamics provides a transparent definition of the free energy of density functional theory (DFT), and of its derivatives - the potentials, at finite temperatures T. By taking…
Nonequilibrium Josephson-like effects in wide mesoscopic S-N-S junctions
Nathan Argaman
Mesoscopic superconducting-normal-metal-superconducting (S-N-S) junctions with a large separation between the superconducting electrodes (i.e. wide junctions) exhibit nonequilibriu…
Nonequilibrium ac Josephson effect in mesoscopic Nb-InAs-Nb junctions
K. W. Lehnert, N. Argaman, H. -R. Blank +4
Microwave irradiation of Nb-InAs-Nb junctions reveals frequency-doubled Josephson currents which persist to high temperatures, in the absence of a critical current. A nonequilibriu…
Non-equilibrium Josephson-like effects in mesoscopic S-N-S junctions
Nathan Argaman
Wide mesoscopic superconducting - normal-metal - superconducting (S-N-S) junctions exhibit Andreev bound states which carry substantial supercurrents, even at temperatures for whic…
On the absence of Shapiro-like steps in certain mesoscopic S-N-S junctions
J. G. E. Harris, N. Argaman, S. J. Allen
In DC transport through mesoscopic S-N-S junctions, it is known that the Josephson coupling decreases exponentially with increasing temperature, but the phase dependence of the con…
Random Scattering Matrices and the Circuit Theory of Andreev Conductances
Nathan Argaman
The conductance of a normal-metal mesoscopic system in proximity to superconducting electrode(s) is calculated. The normal-metal part may have a general geometry, and is described…
