W. Vincent Liu Group

Web Introduction

It hosts the online arxiv preprint selection and the schedule of group meetings and conferences for the group.

Pages are created month by month to avoid too many pages. The Monday of each week determines which month that week belongs to.

The organizer - Zehan Li - will create monthly pages and put in the readers' names routinely.

Early organizers: Bo Liu 2013-16, Xiaopeng Li 2012-13, and Zhixu Zhang 2010-12.

Group Meeting

Group meetings are scheduled on every Wednesday 7pm Pittsburgh time(Thursday 8am Beijing time) when DST starts, and every Wednesday 8pm Pittsburgh time(Thursday 8am Beijing time) when DST ends, unless noted otherwise

Discussion

1. Non equilibrium (Xiaopeng Li)

Recently, I got interested in non-equilibrium physics. P. Zoller's Group has a recent paper arXiv:1011.3207 [pdf, other]. They discuss non-equilibrium phase diagram of a driven-dissipative many-body system. The approach they use is the Time-Dependent Gutzwiller approach (generalized to density matrix representation). Because of the nature advantage of studying non-equilibrium physics by cold atom experiments, maybe there will be some big discovery in driven quantum many-body systems. And also a new paper ( arXiv:1011.4943 [pdf, ps, other]) by Thomas Kloss et al posted this week propose a functional renormalization group approach and they claim they can get accurate non-equilibrium time evolution of bosons even for long time. Xiaopeng's feeling is that there will be new direction studying the non-equilibrium physics in cold atom physics. (Your ideas and comments and suggestions are very welcome.)
