Article Abstract

We study, both analytically and numerically, the Boltzmann transport equation for the Hubbard chain with nearest-neighbor hopping and spatially homogeneous initial condition. The time-dependent Wigner function is matrix-valued because of spin. The H theorem holds. The nearest-neighbor chain is integrable, which, on the kinetic level, is reflected by infinitely many additional conservation laws and linked to the fact that there are also nonthermal stationary states. We characterize all stationary solutions. Numerically, we observe an exponentially fast convergence to stationarity and investigate the convergence rate in dependence on the initial conditions.

Background: Effective public health communication relies on understanding how individuals seek information during health emergencies. While previous work has investigated vaccine hesitancy and acceptance, little is known regarding the psychological and social motivations behind COVID-19 booster information-seeking in collectivist societies.

Objective: This study extends the Risk Information Seeking and Processing (RISP) model to explore the impact of trust in experts, risk uncertainty, and subjective informational norms on the public's intention to seek information regarding COVID-19 booster shots in China.

We present a comprehensive benchmarking study of first-principles calculation methods, based on density functional theory (DFT) and its extensions, to evaluate the fundamental and optical band gaps of nanoporous materials, including metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), and a zeolite. We find that a hybrid approach using the HSE06 functional generally underestimates the fundamental band gaps compared to the nonself-consistent GW (GW) approximation, and a DFT approach incorporating self-consistent extended Hubbard interactions shows varying agreement with GW results depending on the electronic characteristics of materials. Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) on top of GW calculations (GW+BSE) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) with the PBE functional, we compute optical band gaps and absorption spectra that are in good agreement with experiments.

Isolated quantum many-body systems which thermalize under their own dynamics are expected to act as their own thermal baths, thereby losing memory of initial conditions and bringing their local subsystems to thermal equilibrium. Here we show that the infinite-dimensional limit of a quantum lattice model, as described by dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), provides a natural framework to understand this self-consistent thermalization process. Using the Fermi-Hubbard model as a working example, we demonstrate that the emergence of a self-consistent bath occurs via a sharp thermalization front, moving ballistically and separating the initial condition from the long time thermal fixed point.
