Temperature Dependent Motion of a Massive Quantum Particle
We report model calculations of the time-dependent internal energy and
entropy for a single quasi-free massive quantum particle at a constant
temperature. We show that the whole process started from a fully coherent
quantum state to thermodynamic equilibrium can be understood, based on
statistics of diffracted matter waves. As a result of thermal interaction
between the particle and its surroundings, the motion of the particle shows new
feature.Comment: 3 figure
Quasi-normal modes of holographic system with Weyl correction and momentum dissipation
We study the charge response in complex frequency plane and the quasi-normal
modes (QNMs) of the boundary quantum field theory with momentum dissipation
dual to a probe generalized Maxwell system with Weyl correction. When the
strength of the momentum dissipation is small, the pole
structure of the conductivity is similar to the case without the momentum
dissipation. The qualitative correspondence between the poles of the real part
of the conductivity of the original theory and the ones of its electromagnetic
(EM) dual theory approximately holds when with
being the Weyl coupling parameter. While the strong momentum
dissipation alters the pole structure such that most of the poles locate at the
purely imaginary axis. At this moment, the correspondence between the poles of
the original theory and its EM dual one is violated when . In addition, for the dominant pole, the EM duality almost holds when
for all except for a small region of

Holographic superconductivity from higher derivative theory
We construct a derivative holographic superconductor model in the
-dimensional bulk spacetimes, in which the normal state describes a quantum
critical (QC) phase. The phase diagram and the
condensation as the function of temperature are worked out numerically. We
observe that with the decrease of the coupling parameter , the
critical temperature decreases and the formation of charged scalar
hair becomes harder. We also calculate the optical conductivity. An appealing
characteristic is a wider extension of the superconducting energy gap,
comparing with that of derivative theory. It is expected that this
phenomena can be observed in the real materials of high temperature
superconductor. Also the Homes' law in our present models with and
derivative corrections is explored. We find that in certain range of parameters
and , the experimentally measured value of the universal
constant in Homes' law can be obtained.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
