Title: Gravitational self-interactions of a degenerate quantum scalar field

Abstract

We develop a formalism to help calculate in quantum field theory the departures from the description of a system by classical field equations. We apply the formalism to a homogeneous condensate with attractive contact interactions and to a homogeneous self-gravitating condensate in critical expansion. In their classical descriptions, such condensates persist forever. We show that in their quantum description, parametric resonance causes quanta to jump in pairs out of the condensate into all modes with wave vector less than some critical value. We calculate, in each case, the time scale over which the homogeneous condensate is depleted and after which a classical description is invalid. We argue that the duration of classicality of inhomogeneous condensates is shorter than that of homogeneous condensates.

Many-body physics in the classical-field description of a degenerate Bose gas

Journal Article Wright, T. M. ; Davis, M. J. ; Proukakis, N. P. ; ... - Physical Review. A

The classical-field formalism has been widely applied in the calculation of normal correlation functions, and the characterization of condensation, in finite-temperature Bose gases. Here we discuss the extension of this method to the calculation of more general correlations, including the so-called anomalous correlations of the field, without recourse to symmetry-breaking assumptions. Our method is based on the introduction of U(1)-symmetric classical-field variables analogous to the modified quantum ladder operators of number-conserving approaches to the degenerate Bose gas, and allows us to rigorously quantify the anomalous and non-Gaussian character of the field fluctuations. We compare our results for anomalous correlation functionsmore »« less

Use of the Nambu--Jona-Lasino model in the calculation of the density dependence of four-quark condensates

Journal Article Celenza, L.S. ; Shakin, C.M. ; Sun, W. ; ... - Physical Review, C (Nuclear Physics); (United States)

Recent works concerning QCD sum rules in nuclear matter have provided a new method for the calculation of the nucleon self-energy in matter. The results of that program depend strongly on assumptions made concerning the density dependence of four-quark condensates. If a factorization scheme is used to express the four-quark condensate values in terms of the two-quark condensates, the (Lorentz) scalar self-energy of the nucleon is small. However, if the four-quark condensates have only a weak density dependence, the nucleon scalar self-energy is large and attractive, and is in accordance with Dirac phenomenology. In this paper our goal is tomore »« less

Field- and temperature-induced topological phase transitions in the three-dimensional N-component London superconductor

Journal Article Smiseth, J. ; Smoergrav, E. ; Sudboe, A. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The phase diagram and critical properties of the N-component London superconductor are studied both analytically and through large-scale Monte Carlo simulations in d=2+1 dimensions (components here refer to different replicas of the complex scalar field). Examples are given of physical systems to which this model is applicable. The model with different bare phase stiffnesses for each component is a model of superconductivity, which should arise out of metallic phases of light atoms under extreme pressure. A projected mixture of electronic and protonic condensates in liquid metallic hydrogen under extreme pressure is the simplest example, corresponding to N=2. These are suchmore »« less

Coupled Maxwell-pseudospin equations for investigation of self-induced transparency effects in a degenerate three-level quantum system in two dimensions: Finite-difference time-domain study

Journal Article Slavcheva, G. ; Arnold, J.M. ; Wallace, I. ; ... - Physical Review. A

We extend to more than one spatial dimension the semiclassical full-wave vector Maxwell-Bloch equations for the purpose of achieving an adequate and rigorous description of ultrashort pulse propagation in optical waveguides containing resonant nonlinearities. Our considerations are based on the generalized pseudospin formalism introduced by Hioe and Eberly [Phys. Rev. Lett. 47, 838 (1981)] for treatment of the resonant coherent interactions of ultrashort light pulses with discrete-multilevel systems. A self-consistent set of coupled curl Maxwell-pseudospin equations in two spatial dimensions and time for the special case of a degenerate three-level system of quantum absorbers is originally derived.
