Many-Body Physics with Ultracold Gases

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent experimental and theoretical progress concerning many-body phenomena in dilute, ultracold gases is presented, focusing on effects beyond standard weakcoupling descriptions, such as the Mott-Hubbard transition in optical lattices, strongly interacting gases in one and two dimensions, or lowest-Landau-level physics in quasi-two-dimensional gases in fast rotation.

Electronic excitations: density-functional versus many-body Green's-function approaches

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the theoretical and practical aspects of the two approaches and their specific numerical implementations, and present an overview of accomplishments and work in progress, as well as a comparison of both the Green's functions and the TDDFT approaches.

Chaos and quantum thermalization

TL;DR: It is shown that a bounded, isolated quantum system of many particles in a specific initial state will approach thermal equilibrium if the energy eigenfunctions which are superposed to form that state obey Berry's conjecture, and argued that these results constitute a sound foundation for quantum statistical mechanics.

Maximally-localized Wannier Functions: Theory and Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of the use of Wannier functions in the context of electronic-structure theory, including their applications in analyzing the nature of chemical bonding, or as a local probe of phenomena related to electric polarization and orbital magnetization.
