A self-contained ground-state approach for the correction of self-interaction error in approximate density-functional theory
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2018)Density functional theory (DFT), in its approximate Kohn-Sham formalism, is a highly-acclaimed computational tool that affords the practical and expeditious calculation of ground-state properties of molecules and solids, ... -
Thermodynamics of interacting many-body quantum systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Physics. Discipline of Physics, 2021)Technological and scientific advances have given rise to an era in which coherent quantum-mechanical phenomena can be probed and experimentally-realised over unprecedented timescales in condensed matter physics. In turn, ... -
Yang-Baxter integrable open quantum systems
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Mathematics. Discipline of Pure & Applied Mathematics, 2023)The main result of this thesis is the use of the boost operator to develop a systematic method to construct new integrable spin chains with nearest-neighbour interaction and characterized by an R-matrix of non-difference ...
