We determine the exact time-dependent non-idempotent one-particle reduced density matrix and its spectral decomposition for a harmonically confined two-particle correlated one-dimensional system when the interaction terms in the Schrodinger Hamiltonian are changed abruptly. Based on this matrix in coordinate space we derivea precise condition for the equivalence of the purity and the overlap-square of the correlated and non-correlated wave functions as the system evolves in time. This equivalence holds only if the interparticle interactions are affected, while the confinement terms are unaffected within the stability range of the system. Under this condition we also analyze various time-dependent measures of entanglement and demonstrate that, depending on the magnitude of the changes made in the Schrodinger Hamiltonian, periodic, logarithmically incresing or constant value behavior of the von Neumann entropy can occur.
We give exact formulae for a wide family of complexity measures that capture the organization of hidden nonlinear processes. The spectral decomposition of operator-valued functions leads to closed-form expressions involving the full eigenvalue spectrum of the mixed-state presentation of a processs epsilon-machine causal-state dynamic. Measures include correlation functions, power spectra, past-future mutual information, transient and synchronization informations, and many others. As a result, a direct and complete analysis of intrinsic computation is now available for the temporal organization of finitary hidden Markov models and nonlinear dynamical systems with generating partitions and for the spatial organization in one-dimensional systems, including spin systems, cellular automata, and complex materials via chaotic crystallography.
In [arxiv:2106.02560] we proposed a reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT) for calculating energies of selected eigenstates of interacting many-fermion systems. Here, we develop a solid foundation for this so-called $boldsymbol{w}$-RDMFT and present the details of various derivations. First, we explain how a generalization of the Ritz variational principle to ensemble states with fixed weights $boldsymbol{w}$ in combination with the constrained search would lead to a universal functional of the one-particle reduced density matrix. To turn this into a viable functional theory, however, we also need to implement an exact convex relaxation. This general procedure includes Valones pioneering work on ground state RDMFT as the special case $boldsymbol{w}=(1,0,ldots)$. Then, we work out in a comprehensive manner a methodology for deriving a compact description of the functionals domain. This leads to a hierarchy of generalized exclusion principle constraints which we illustrate in great detail. By anticipating their future pivotal role in functional theories and to keep our work self-contained, several required concepts from convex analysis are introduced and discussed.
We investigate the persistence probability of a Brownian particle in a harmonic potential, which decays to zero at long times -- leading to an unbounded motion of the Brownian particle. We consider two functional forms for the decay of the confinement, an exponential and an algebraic decay. Analytical calculations and numerical simulations show, that for the case of the exponential relaxation, the dynamics of Brownian particle at short and long times are independent of the parameters of the relaxation. On the contrary, for the algebraic decay of the confinement, the dynamics at long times is determined by the exponent of the decay. Finally, using the two-time correlation function for the position of the Brownian particle, we construct the persistence probability for the Brownian walker in such a scenario.
We study analytically the single-trajectory spectral density (STSD) of an active Brownian motion as exhibited, for example, by the dynamics of a chemically-active Janus colloid. We evaluate the standardly-defined spectral density, i.e. the STSD averaged over a statistical ensemble of trajectories in the limit of an infinitely long observation time $T$, and also go beyond the standard analysis by considering the coefficient of variation $gamma$ of the distribution of the STSD. Moreover, we analyse the finite-$T$ behaviour of the STSD and $gamma$, determine the cross-correlations between spatial components of the STSD, and address the effects of translational diffusion on the functional forms of spectral densities. The exact expressions that we obtain unveil many distinctive features of active Brownian motion compared to its passive counterpart, which allow to distinguish between these two classes based solely on the spectral content of individual trajectories.
We evaluate the density matrix of an arbitrary quantum mechanical system in terms of the quantities pertinent to the solution of the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) problem. Our theory utilizes the adiabatic connection perturbation method of G{o}rling and Levy, from which the expansion of the many-body density matrix in powers of the coupling constant $lambda$ naturally arises. We then find the reduced density matrix $rho_lambda({bf r},{bf r},t)$, which, by construction, has the $lambda$-independent diagonal elements $rho_lambda({bf r},{bf r},t)=n({bf r},t)$, $n({bf r},t)$ being the particle density. The off-diagonal elements of $rho_lambda({bf r},{bf r},t)$ contribute importantly to the processes, which cannot be treated via the density, directly or by the use of the known TDDFT functionals. Of those, we consider the momentum-resolved photoemission, doing this to the first order in $lambda$, i.e., on the level of the exact exchange theory. In illustrative calculations of photoemission from the quasi-2D electron gas and isolated atoms, we find quantitatively strong and conceptually far-reaching differences with the independent-particle Fermis golden rule formula.
