A century of the Bose-Einstein condensation concept and half a century of the JINR experiments for observation of condensate in the superfluid 4He (He II)

This short review is devoted to celebration of two major events in quantum physics. The first one is the birth of the concept of Bose-Einstein condensation (1925) and the second is the experimental proof that it does exist and appears in the liquid 4He simultaneously with superfluidity below the $λ$-point (1975). The both of these events are tightly related to the Bogoliubov theory of superfluidity (1947). The existence of condensate in the system of interacting bosons is the key ansatz of this theory. Therefore, the experiments started in JINR in 1975 confirmed this prediction of the Bogoliubov theory that superfluidity of the liquid 4He (He II) should emerge at the same time as the Bose-Einstein condensation.

Solution Operator for Non-Autonomous Perturbation of Gibbs Semigroup

The paper is devoted to a linear dynamics for non-autonomous perturbation of the Gibbs semigroup on a separable Hilbert space. It is shown that evolution family {U(t, s)} 0$\le$s$\le$t solving the non-autonomous Cauchy problem can be approximated in the trace-norm topology by product formulae. The rate of convergence of product formulae approximants {U n (t, s)} {0$\le$s$\le$t,n$\ge$1} to the solution operator {U(t, s)} {0$\le$s$\le$t} is also established.

Notes on the Chernoff Product Formula

We revise the strong convergent Chernoff product formula and extend it, in a Hilbert space, to convergence in the operator-norm topology. Main results deal with the self-adjoint Chernoff product formula. The nonself-adjoint case concerns the quasi-sectorial contractions.

Trotter product formula and linear evolution equations on Hilbert spaces On the occasion of the 100th birthday of Tosio Kato

The paper is devoted to evolution equations of the form $\partial$ $\partial$t u(t) = --(A + B(t))u(t), t $\in$ I = [0, T ], on separable Hilbert spaces where A is a non-negative self-adjoint operator and B($\times$) is family of non-negative self-adjoint operators such that dom(A $α$) $\subseteq$ dom(B(t)) for some $α$ $\in$ [0, 1) and the map A --$α$ B($\times$)A --$α$ is H{ö}lder continuous with the H{ö}lder exponent $β$ $\in$ (0, 1). It is shown that the solution operator U(t, s) of the evolution equation can be approximated in the operator norm by a combination of semigroups generated by A and B(t) provided the condition $β$ > 2$α$ -- 1 is satisfied. The convergence rate for the approximation is given by the H{ö}lder exponent $β$. The result is proved using the evolution semigroup approach.

Trotter-Kato product formulae in Dixmier ideal

It is shown that for a certain class of the Kato functions the Trotter-Kato product formulae converge in Dixmier ideal C 1,$\infty$ in topology, which is defined by the $\times$ 1,$\infty$-norm. Moreover, the rate of convergence in this topology inherits the error-bound estimate for the corresponding operator-norm convergence. 1 since [24], [14]. Note that a subtle point of this program is the question about the rate of convergence in the corresponding topology. Since the limit of the Trotter-Kato product formula is a strongly continuous semigroup, for the von Neumann-Schatten ideals this topology is the trace-norm $\times$ 1 on the trace-class ideal C 1 (H). In this case the limit is a Gibbs semigroup [25]. For self-adjoint Gibbs semigroups the rate of convergence was estimated for the first time in [7] and [9]. The authors considered the case of the Gibbs-Schr{ö}dinger semigroups. They scrutinised in these papers a dependence of the rate of convergence for the (exponential) Trotter formula on the smoothness of the potential in the Schr{ö}dinger generator. The first abstract result in this direction was due to [19]. In this paper a general scheme of lifting the operator-norm rate convergence for the Trotter-Kato product formulae was proposed and advocated for estimation the rate of the trace-norm

Comments on the Chernoff $\sqrt$ n-Lemma

The Chernoff $\sqrt$ n-Lemma is revised. This concerns two aspects: an improvement of the Chernoff estimate in the strong operator topol-ogy and an operator-norm estimate for quasi-sectorial contractions. Applications to the Lie-Trotter product formula approximation for semigroups is presented.

Dynamical Semigroups for Unbounded Repeated Perturbation of Open System

We consider dynamical semigroups with unbounded Kossakowski-Lindblad-Davies generators which are related to evolution of an open system with a tuned repeated harmonic perturbation. Our main result is the proof of existence of uniquely determined minimal trace-preserving strongly continuous dynamical semigroups on the space of density matrices. The corresponding dual W *-dynamical system is shown to be unital quasi-free and completely positive automorphisms of the CCR-algebra. We also comment on the action of dynamical semigroups on quasi-free states.

A Dynamics Driven by Repeated Harmonic Perturbations

We propose an exactly soluble W*-dynamical system generated by repeated harmonic perturbations of the one-mode quantum oscillator. In the present paper we deal with the case of isolated system. Although dynamics is Hamiltonian and quasi-free, it produces relaxation of initial state of the system to the steady state in the large-time limit. The relaxation is accompanied by the entropy production and we found explicitly the rate for it. Besides, we study evolution of subsystems to elucidate their eventual correlations and convergence to equilibrium state. Finally we prove a universality of the dynamics driven by repeated harmonic perturbations in a certain short-time interaction limit.

Around the Van Daele--Schmüdgen theorem

For a {bounded} non-negative self-adjoint operator acting in a complex, infinite-dimensional, separable Hilbert space H and possessing a dense range R we propose a new approach to characterisation of phenomenon concerning the existence of subspaces M\subset H such that M\capR=M^\perp\capR=\{0\}. We show how the existence of such subspaces leads to various {pathological} properties of {unbounded} self-adjoint operators related to von Neumann theorems \cite{Neumann}--\cite{Neumann2}. We revise the von Neumann-Van Daele-Schmüdgen assertions \cite{Neumann}, \cite{Daele}, \cite{schmud} to refine them. We also develop {a new systematic approach, which allows to construct for any {unbounded} densely defined symmetric/self-adjoint operator T infinitely many pairs of its closed densely defined restrictions T_k\subset T such that \dom(T^* T_{k})=\{0\} (\Rightarrow \dom T_{k}^2=\{0\}$) k=1,2 and \dom T_1\cap\dom T_2=\{0\}, \dom T_1\dot+\dom T_2=\dom T.

A new model for quantum dot light emitting-absorbing devices

Motivated by the Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model, we consider here a quantum dot coupled simultaneously to a reservoir of photons and to two electric leads (free-fermion reservoirs). This Jaynes-Cummings-Leads (JCL) model makes possible that the fermion current through the dot creates a photon flux, which describes a light-emitting device. The same model is also describe a transformation of the photon flux into current of fermions, i.e. a quantum dot light-absorbing device. The key tool to obtain these results is an abstract Landauer-Büttiker formula.

On the nature of Bose-Einstein condensation enhanced by localization

In a previous paper we established that for the perfect Bose gas and the mean-field Bose gas with an external random or weak potential, whenever there is generalized Bose-Einstein condensation in the eigenstates of the single particle Hamiltonian, there is also generalized condensation in the kinetic energy states. In these cases Bose-Einstein condensation is produced or enhanced by the external potential. In the present paper we establish a criterion for the absence of condensation in single kinetic energy states and prove that this criterion is satisfied for a class of random potentials and weak potentials. This means that the condensate is spread over an infinite number of states with low kinetic energy without any of them being macroscopically occupied.

Exactness of the Bogoliubov approximation in random external potentials

We investigate the validity of the Bogoliubov c-number approximation in the case of interacting Bose-gas in a \textit{homogeneous random} media. To take into account the possible occurence of type III generalized Bose-Einstein condensation (i.e. the occurrence of condensation in an infinitesimal band of low kinetic energy modes without macroscopic occupation of any of them) we generalize the c-number substitution procedure to this band of modes with low momentum. We show that, as in the case of the one-mode condensation for translation-invariant interacting systems, this procedure has no effect on the exact value of the pressure in the thermodynamic limit, assuming that the c-numbers are chosen according to a suitable variational principle. We then discuss the relation between these c-numbers and the (total) density of the condensate.

A partition-free approach to transient and steady-state charge currents

We construct a non-equilibrium steady state and calculate the corresponding current for a mesoscopic Fermi system in the partition-free setting. To this end we study a small sample coupled to a finite number of semi-infinite leads. Initially, the whole system of quasi-free fermions is in a grand canonical equilibrium state. At t = 0 we turn on a potential bias on the leads and let the system evolve. We study how the charge current behaves in time and how it stabilizes itself around a steady state value, which is given by a Landauer-type formula.

Large Deviation Principle for Non-Interacting Boson Random Point Processes

Limit theorems, including the large deviation principle, are established for random point processes (fields), which describe the position distributions of the perfect boson gas in the regime of the Bose-Einstein condensation. We compare these results with those for the case of the normal phase.

On the nature of Bose-Einstein condensation in disordered systems

We study the perfect Bose gas in random external potentials and show that there is generalized Bose-Einstein condensation in the random eigenstates if and only if the same occurs in the one-particle kinetic-energy eigenstates, which corresponds to the generalized condensation of the free Bose gas. Moreover, we prove that the amounts of both condensate densities are equal. Our method is based on the derivation of an explicit formula for the occupation measure in the one-body kinetic-energy eigenstates which describes the repartition of particles among these non-random states. This technique can be adapted to re-examine the properties of the perfect Bose gas in the presence of weak (scaled) non-random potentials, for which we establish similar results.

Lower Spectral Branches of a Spin-Boson Model

We study the structure of the spectrum of a two-level quantum system weakly coupled to a boson field (spin-boson model). Our analysis allows to avoid the cutoff in the number of bosons, if their spectrum is bounded below by a positive constant. We show that, for small coupling constant, the lower part of the spectrum of the spin-boson Hamiltonian contains (one or two) isolated eigenvalues and (respectively, one or two) manifolds of atom $+ 1$-boson states indexed by the boson momentum $q$. The dispersion laws and generalized eigenfunctions of the latter are calculated.
