• Abstract: In this manuscript, we present another new thermal scalar and vector gauge potentials implemented by the quantum Boltzmann equation, which originates from the interaction of conduction electrons and phonons. To accomplish this task, we derive a temperature dependent four dimensional damping force by the Taylor series expansion on the self energy of the QBE, which can be related to the thermal scalar and vector gauge potentials, especially the fourth component of the damping force, which is just a power corresponding to a new scalar potential. Based on the local equilibrium assumption, we solve the QBE order by order using the Fourier transformation method. The temperature dependent damping force and other physical observables are exhibited in the figures, the higher of the temperature, the bigger of the damping force.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
