Abstract: Recent developments have seen the application of finite Gaussian basis sets to the $α(Zα)^{n\geq3}$ vacuum polarization. The energy shift for $s$ and $p$ electron states have been tabulated and their convergence investigated. In this work, we extend this problem to the multi-electron case. Hartee-Fock potentials obtained self-consistently are used to treat the vacuum polarization for lithium-like systems and are found to be in good agreement with comparable results in the literature. The results presented in this work demonstrate the use of Gaussian basis sets for atomic potentials whose Green's functions expressions cannot be simply obtained via analytic or numerical methods.

Quantum electrodynamics of lossy magnetodielectric samples in vacuum: modified Langevin noise formalism [55.2480439325792]
We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

We apply a perturbative scheme to derive the non-relativistic Schr"odinger equation in curved spacetime. We calculate the next-to-leading order corrections to the neutron's energy spectrum. While the current precision for observations of ultracold neutrons may not yet enable to probe them, they could still be relevant in the future or in alternative circumstances.

Thermal masses and trapped-ion quantum spin models: a self-consistent approach to Yukawa-type interactions in the $λ\!φ^4$ model [44.99833362998488]
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.
