A Qubit as a Bridge Between Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Dynamics
Manmeet Kaur, Somendra M. Bhattacharjee
This work presents a unified perspective on thermal equilibrium and quantum dynamics by examining the simplest quantum system, a qubit, as a minimal model. We show that both the th…

Julia Set in Quantum Evolution: The case of Dynamical Quantum Phase Transitions
Manmeet Kaur, Somendra M. Bhattacharjee
Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) are a class of non-equilibrium phase transitions that occur in many-body quantum systems during real-time evolution, rather than through…

DNA Unzipping Transition
Somendra M. Bhattacharjee
This review focuses on the force-induced unzipping transition of double-stranded DNA. It begins with a brief history of DNA melting, which emerged alongside the growth of the field…
