Generalized quantal distribution functions within factorization approach : Some general results for bosons and fermions

Diego F. Torres, Uǧur Tırnaklı

The generalized quantal distribution functions are investigated concerning systems of non-interacting bosons and fermions. The formulae for the number of particles and energy are presented and applications to the Chandrasekhar limit of white dwarfs stars and to the Bose-Einstein condensation are commented.

Dilute-Degenerate Gases

Franck Laloë

We study the properties of quantum gases which are dilute in terms of the interactions but degenerate; this may be the case if the thermal wavelength of the particles is much larger than the interatomic potential range. We assume that the potential contains a short range repulsive part, which creates strong correlations between particles that cannot be treated by ordinary perturbation theory, even if the region of configuration space where they are dominant is relatively small. Our method combines two basic ingredients: Ursell operators, which generalize the Ursell functions that are usually used to generate quantum cluster expansions, but are not in themselves symmetrized (the operators can be related to an auxiliary system of distinguishable particles); in a distinct step, an exact treatment of particle indistinguishability is given through the inclusion of exchange cycles of arbitrary length. For non-condensed boson systems, as well as for fermion systems, the method provides a compact expression of the partition function that generalizes the well-known Beth–Uhlenbeck formula to arbitrary degeneracy. For the study of the Bose–Einstein condensation, our treatment retains more information on the short range correlations than, for instance, the Hartree–Fock method. It also introduces a natural and explicit distinction between particles and quasiparticles; the latter may condense into a single one-particle state, which obeys a non-linear equation somewhat similar to the Gross–Pitaevskii equation.

An asymmetry lower bound on fermionic non-Gaussianity

Filiberto Ares, Michele Mazzoni, Sara Murciano +3 more

Fermionic Gaussian states are a fundamental tool in many-body physics, faithfully representing non-interacting quantum systems and allowing for efficient numerical simulations. Given a many-body wave function, it is therefore interesting to ask how much it differs from that of a Gaussian state, as quantified by the notion of non-Gaussianity. In this work, we relate measures of non-Gaussianity with the Shannon entropy of the particle-number distribution, coinciding with the particle-number asymmetry for pure states. We derive a lower bound on the relative entropy of non-Gaussianity in terms of the exponential of the Shannon entropy, and study numerically its tightness for large system sizes. Our bound is non-trivial for large values of the asymmetry and relies on the concentration of the particle-number distribution of (mixed) fermionic Gaussian states. Since the Shannon entropy of the particle-number distribution is often efficient to compute or experimentally measure, our results can be viewed as a practical way to lower bound non-Gaussianity, highlighting a non-trivial interplay with particle-number asymmetry.
