Gross-Pitaevskii equation and superfluidity in Bose-Einstein condensates

We will see a brief review on the following topics: i) Gross - Pitaevskii equation and Bogoliubov theory of a Bose - Einstein condesate. ii) Superfluidity, hydrodynamics and their relation with B

Decoherence effects on 1D quasi-condensates

In the last yers, several experimental works have observed decoherence effects on low dimensional ultracold atoms systems.

Light slower than the speed of light

Recently it has been claimed that in presence of a classical gravitational potential the speed of light gets a correction coming from the interaction of virtual electron-positron pairs with the gravit

Just a theorem about not completely positive maps

Imagine you are given a nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equation which evolves in a markovian way and satisfies very general physical requirements, such as the assumption of no-faster-than-light sign

Interaction picture in QFT and Haag's theorem

We will discuss on interaction picture in quantum field theory and how Haag's theorem proves that this approach cannot be used to describe interacting fields.

A derivation of the Gallis-Flemming equation by Hartree Variational Method

We will show a derivation of the well known Gallis-Flemming equation by the use of the variational Hartree method and we will also discuss on the possibility to extend this method in the non dissipat

Introduction to QFT in Curved Spacetime

We first discuss classical General Relativity with particular focus on conservation laws and symmetries. We then look at quantum field theory and the role of Poincaré symmetries.

On the meaning of wave function

Questions on the meaning of wave function are still very puzzling in the spite of remarkable success of quantum predictions.
