Lecture notes of a minicourse given at the Summer School on Large Coulomb Systems - QED in Nordfjordeid, 2003, devoted to representations of the CCR and CAR. Quasifree states, the Araki-Woods and Araki-Wyss representations, and the lattice of von Neumenn algebras in a bosonic/fermionic Fock space are discussed in detail.

Quadratic Hamiltonians and Their Renormalization

Quadratic bosonic Hamiltonians in Fock spaces with an infinite number of degrees of freedom have a surprisingly rich mathematical theory. In this article I review recent results about two classes of…

Fermionic quasifree states and maps in information theory

This paper and the results therein are geared toward building a basic toolbox for calculations in quantum information theory of quasifree fermionic systems. Various entropy and relative entropy…

Quantum Dynamical Systems

This notes are an expanded version of the lectures given by the author at the Grenoble "Open Quantum Systems" summer school in 2003. They provide a short introduction to quantum dynamical systems and…

Quantum Mechanical Observables under a Symplectic Transformation of Coordinates

We consider a general symplectic transformation (also known as linear canonical transformation) of quantum-mechanical observables in a quantized version of a finite-dimensional system with…

A stochastic analysis of subcritical Euclidean fermionic field theories

Building on previous work on the stochastic analysis for Grassmann random variables, we introduce a forward-backward stochastic differential equation (FBSDE) which provides a stochastic quantisation…

Spectral Theory for a Mathematical Model of the Weak Interaction—Part I: The Decay of the Intermediate Vector Bosons W ±

We consider a Hamiltonian with cutoffs describing the weak decay of spin 1 massive bosons into the full family of leptons. The Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint operator in an appropriate Fock space with…

Central Limit Theorem for Locally Interacting Fermi Gas

We consider a locally interacting Fermi gas in its natural non-equilibrium steady state and prove the Quantum Central Limit Theorem (QCLT) for a large class of observables. A special case of our…

Spectral Theory for a Mathematical Model of the Weak Interaction: The Decay of the Intermediate Vector Bosons W±, II

We do the spectral analysis of the Hamiltonian for the weak leptonic decay of the gauge bosons W±. Using Mourre theory, it is shown that the spectrum between the unique ground state and the first…

Correlations in free fermionic states

We study correlations in a bipartite, fermionic, free state in terms of perturbations induced by one party on the other. In particular, we show that all so conditioned free states can be modelled by…

SCATTERING IN NONRELATIVISTIC QUANTUM FIELD THEORY

The lecture notes are devoted to some topics in scattering theory for certain models inspired by quantum field theory. As a toy example, we describe scattering theory for van Hove Hamiltonians, where…
