• Abstract: The rigorous diagnostics of experiments with warm dense matter (WDM) is notoriously difficult. A key method is given by X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS), but the interpretation of XRTS measurements is usually based on theoretical models that entail various approximations. Recently, Dornheim et al. [arXiv:2206.12805] have introduced a new framework for temperature diagnostics of XRTS experiments that is based on imaginary-time correlation functions (ITCF). On the one hand, switching from the frequency- to the imaginary-time domain gives one direct access to a number of physical properties, which facilitates the extraction of the temperature of arbitrarily complex materials without any models or approximations. On the other hand, the bulk of theoretical works in dynamic quantum many-body theory is devoted to the frequency-domain, and, to our knowledge, the manifestation of physics properties within the ITCF remains poorly understood. In the present work, we aim to change this unsatisfactory situation by introducing a simple, semi-analytical model for the imaginary-time dependence of two-body correlations within the framework of imaginary-time path integrals. As a practical example, we compare our new model to extensive ab initio path integral Monte Carlo results for the ITCF of a uniform electron gas, and find excellent agreement over a broad range of wave numbers, densities, and temperatures.

We establish that FM can achieve an almost minimax optimal convergence rate for $1 leq p leq 2$, presenting the first theoretical evidence that FM can reach convergence rates comparable to those of diffusion models.

  Superradiance of atomic arrays at sub-wavelength spacings has regained substantial interest. We develop a semiclassical approach to this problem that allows to describe the coherent and dissipative many-body dynamics of interacting spins. For small arrays we compare to exact simulations and a second order cumulant expansion. We conclude by studying the radiative properties of a spatially extended three-dimensional, coherently driven gas.

  We study the entanglement dynamics of thermofield double (TFD) states in integrable spin chains and quantum field theories. We show that, for a natural choice of the Hamiltonian eigenbasis, the TFD evolution may be interpreted as a quantum quench from an initial state. We conjecture a formula for the entanglement dynamics, which is valid for both discrete and continuous integrable field theories.
