The Concept of Necropolitics during the Pandemic of Covid-19 in Brazil
The present article aims to reflect the access to health in Brazil, especially in the current context of the Covid-19 pandemic, establishing theoretical and conceptual paradigms between the fields of biopolitics and necropolitics. In this context, this study analyses the political discourses during the pandemic of Covid-19 in Brazil. The methodology comes from a bibliographic review, based on the hypothetical-deductive method, mostly based on the concept of necropolitics. Finally, it has been observed that even more dangerous than the virus itself is the necropolitical perspective that dictates who lives and who dies – in this case, who breathes and who suffocates - the nation’s economy over human lives. It’s also been verified that the admission of certain health protocols, under the bioethical perspective, portray the death policy that dictates who lives and who dies in a State completely ineffective in its political, social and even economic dimensions
The two-site Bose--Hubbard model
The two-site Bose--Hubbard model is a simple model used to study Josephson
tunneling between two Bose--Einstein condensates. In this work we give an
overview of some mathematical aspects of this model. Using a classical
analysis, we study the equations of motion and the level curves of the
Hamiltonian. Then, the quantum dynamics of the model is investigated using
direct diagonalisation of the Hamiltonian. In both of these analyses, the
existence of a threshold coupling between a delocalised and a self-trapped
phase is evident, in qualitative agreement with experiments. We end with a
discussion of the exact solvability of the model via the algebraic Bethe
ansatz.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, submitted for publication in Annales Henri

Behaviour of the energy gap in a model of Josephson coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
In this work we investigate the energy gap between the ground state and the
first excited state in a model of two single-mode Bose-Einstein condensates
coupled via Josephson tunneling. The energy gap is never zero when the
tunneling interaction is non-zero. The gap exhibits no local minimum below a
threshold coupling which separates a delocalised phase from a self-trapping
phase which occurs in the absence of the external potential. Above this
threshold point one minimum occurs close to the Josephson regime, and a set of
minima and maxima appear in the Fock regime. Analytic expressions for the
position of these minima and maxima are obtained. The connection between these
minima and maxima and the dynamics for the expectation value of the relative
number of particles is analysed in detail. We find that the dynamics of the
system changes as the coupling crosses these points.Comment: 12 pages, 5 .eps figures + 4 figs, classical analysis, perturbation

Integrable Impurity Spin Ladder Systems
Two integrable spin ladder systems with different types of impurities are
proposed. The impurities are introduced in such a way that the integrability of
the models is not violated. The models are solved exactly and the Bethe ansatz
equations as well as the energy eigenvalues are obtained. We show for both
models that a phase transition between gapped and gapless spin excitations
occurs at a critical value of the rung coupling J. In addition, the dependence
of the impurities on this phase transition is determined explicitly.
Remarkably, in one of the models a decreasing of the spin gap with increasing
impurity strength is found.Comment: 11 pages, 3 eps figure
Control of tunneling in an atomtronic switching device
The precise control of quantum systems will play a major role in the
realization of atomtronic devices. As in the case of electronic systems, a
desirable property is the ability to implement switching. Here we show how to
implement switching in a model of dipolar bosons confined to three coupled
wells. The model describes interactions between bosons, tunneling of bosons
between adjacent wells, and the effect of an external field. We conduct a study
of the quantum dynamics of the system to probe the conditions under which
switching behavior can occur. The analysis considers both integrable and
non-integrable regimes within the model. Through variation of the external
field, we demonstrate how the system can be controlled between various
switched-on and switched-off configurations.Comment: Revised Communications Physics (open access) version; Major revision:

Classical and quantum dynamics of a model for atomic-molecular Bose--Einstein condensates
We study a model for a two-mode atomic-molecular Bose--Einstein condensate.
Starting with a classical analysis we determine the phase space fixed points of
the system. It is found that bifurcations of the fixed points naturally
separate the coupling parameter space into four regions. The different regions
give rise to qualitatively different dynamics. We then show that this
classification holds true for the quantum dynamics.Comment: 13 pages, 7 eps figure
