We present our views on the issues raised in the chapter by Griffin and Zaremba [A. Griffin and E. Zaremba, in Quantum Gases: Finite Temperature and Non-Equilibrium Dynamics, N. P. Proukakis, S. A. Gardiner, M. J. Davis, and M. H. Szymanska, eds., Imperial College Press, London (in press)]. We review some of the strengths and limitations of the Bose symmetry-breaking assumption, and explain how such an approach precludes the description of many important phenomena in degenerate Bose gases. We discuss the theoretical justification for the classical-field (c-field) methods, their relation to other non-perturbative methods for similar systems, and their utility in the description of beyond-mean-field physics. Although it is true that present implementations of c-field methods cannot accurately describe certain collective oscillations of the partially condensed Bose gas, there is no fundamental reason why these methods cannot be extended to treat such scenarios. By contrast, many regimes of non-equilibrium dynamics that can be described with c-field methods are beyond the reach of generalised mean-field kinetic approaches based on symmetry-breaking, such as the ZNG formalism.

In systems with a spontaneously broken continuous symmetry, the perturbative loop expansion is plagued with infrared divergences due to the coupling between transverse and longitudinal fluctuations. As a result the longitudinal susceptibility diverge s and the self-energy becomes singular at low energy. We study the crossover from the high-energy Gaussian regime, where perturbation theory remains valid, to the low-energy Goldstone regime characterized by a diverging longitudinal susceptibility. We consider both the classical linear O($N$) model and interacting bosons at zero temperature, using a variety of techniques: perturbation theory, hydrodynamic approach (i.e., for bosons, Popovs theory), large-$N$ limit and non-perturbative renormalization group. We emphasize the essential role of the Ginzburg momentum scale $p_G$ below which the perturbative approach breaks down. Even though the action of (non-relativistic) bosons includes a first-order time derivative term, we find remarkable similarities in the weak-coupling limit between the classical O($N$) model and interacting bosons at zero temperature.
We study the effects of quasiparticle interactions in a quasi-two dimensional (quasi-2D), zero-temperature Bose-Einstein condensate of dipolar atoms, which can exhibit a roton-maxon feature in its quasiparticle spectrum. Our focus is the Beliaev damp ing process, in which a quasiparticle collides with the condensate and resonantly decays into a pair of quasiparticles. Remarkably, the rate for this process exhibits a highly non-trivial dependence on the quasiparticle momentum and the dipolar interaction strength. For weak interactions, the low energy phonons experience no damping, and the higher energy quasiparticles undergo anomalously weak damping. In contrast, the Beliaev damping rates become anomalously large for stronger dipolar interactions, as rotons become energetically accessible as final states. Further, we find a qualitative anisotropy in the damping rates when the dipoles are tilted off the axis of symmetry. Our study reveals the unconventional nature of Beliaev damping in dipolar condensates, and has important implications for ongoing studies of equilibrium and non-equilibrium dynamics in these systems.
We study the quantum phases of bosons with repulsive contact interactions on a two-leg ladder in the presence of a uniform Abelian gauge field. The model realizes many interesting states, including Meissner phases, vortex-fluids, vortex-lattices, cha rge-density-waves and the biased-ladder phase. Our work focuses on the subset of these states that break a discrete symmetry. We use density matrix renormalization group simulations to demonstrate the existence of three vortex-lattice states at different vortex densities and we characterize the phase transitions from these phases into neighboring states. Furthermore, we provide an intuitive explanation of the chiral-current reversal effect that is tied to some of these vortex lattices. We also study a charge-density-wave state that exists at 1/4 particle filling at large interaction strengths and flux values close to half a flux quantum. By changing the system parameters, this state can transition into a completely gapped vortex-lattice Mott-insulating state. We elucidate the stability of these phases against nearest-neighbor interactions on the rungs of the ladder relevant for experimental realizations with a synthetic lattice dimension. A charge-density-wave state at 1/3 particle filling can be stabilized for flux values close to half a flux-quantum and for very strong on-site interactions in the presence of strong repulsion on the rungs. Finally, we analytically describe the emergence of these phases in the low-density regime, and, in particular, we obtain the boundaries of the biased-ladder phase, i.e., the phase that features a density imbalance between the legs. We make contact to recent quantum-gas experiments that realized related models and discuss signatures of these quantum states in experimentally accessible observables.
We consider a classical spin model, of two-dimensional spins, with continuous symmetry, and investigate the effect of a symmetry breaking unidirectional quenched disorder on the magnetization of the system. We work in the mean field regime. We show, by numerical simulations and by perturbative calculations in the low as well as in the high temperature limits, that although the continuous symmetry of the magnetization is lost, the system still magnetizes, albeit with a lower value as compared to the case without disorder. The critical temperature at which the system starts magnetizing, also decreases with the introduction of disorder. However, with the introduction of an additional constant magnetic field, the component of magnetization in the direction that is transverse to the disorder field increases with the introduction of the quenched disorder. We discuss the same effects also for three-dimensional spins.
The applicability of a broken symmetry version of the $G_0W_0$ approximation to the calculation of isotropic exchange coupling constants has been studied. Using a simple H--He--H model system the results show a significant and consistent improvement of the results over both broken symmetry Hartree--Fock and broken symmetry density functional theory. In the case of more realistic bimetallic Cu(II) complexes, inclusion of the $G_0W_0$ correction does not lead to obvious improvement in the results. The discrepancies are explained by improved description of the interactions within the magnetic orbital space upon inclusion of the $G_0W_0$ corrections but deterioration of the description of charge- and spin-polarization effects outside the magnetic orbital space. Overall the results show that computational methods based on the $GW$ method have a potential to improve computational estimates of exchange coupling constants.
