Relaxation in the XX quantum chain
Thierry Platini, Dragi Karevski
We present the results obtained on the magnetisation relaxation properties of an XX quantum chain in a transverse magnetic field. We first consider an initial thermal kink-like sta…
Ising Quantum Chains
Dragi Karevski
The aim of this article is to give a pedagogical introduction to the exact equilibrium and nonequilibrium properties of free fermionic quantum spin chains. In a first part we prese…
Gradient critical phenomena in the Ising quantum chain
Thierry Platini, Dragi Karevski, Loïc Turban
We consider the behaviour of a critical system in the presence of a gradient perturbation of the couplings. In the direction of the gradient an interface region separates the order…
Historical and interpretative aspects of quantum mechanics: a physicists' naive approach
B. Berche, C. Chatelain, C. Dufour +2
Many theoretical predictions derived from quantum mechanics have been confirmed experimentally during the last 80 years. However, interpretative aspects have long been subject to d…
Probability distributions of the work in the 2D-Ising model
Christophe Chatelain, Dragi Karevski
Probability distributions of the magnetic work are computed for the 2D Ising model by means of Monte Carlo simulations. The system is first prepared at equilibrium for three temper…
