Bohmian MechanicsIn this seminar we will give an introduction to Bohmian Mechanics (also known as De Broglie-Bohm theory). |

Gross-Pitaevskii equation and superfluidity in Bose-Einstein condensatesWe will see a brief review on the following topics:
i) Gross - Pitaevskii equation and Bogoliubov theory of a Bose - Einstein condesate.
ii) Superfluidity, hydrodynamics and their relation with B |

Decoherence effects on 1D quasi-condensatesIn the last yers, several experimental works have observed decoherence effects on low dimensional ultracold atoms systems. |

Light slower than the speed of lightRecently it has been claimed that in presence of a classical gravitational potential the speed of light gets a correction coming from the interaction of virtual electron-positron pairs with the gravit |

Just a theorem about not completely positive mapsImagine you are given a nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equation which evolves in a markovian way and satisfies very general physical requirements, such as the assumption of no-faster-than-light sign |

Interaction picture in QFT and Haag's theoremWe will discuss on interaction picture in quantum field theory and how Haag's theorem proves that this approach cannot be used to describe interacting fields. |

Quantum linear Boltzmann equation in the weak coupling regimeIn this seminar, we deal with the dynamics of a test particle interacting with a low density background gas. |

A derivation of the Gallis-Flemming equation by Hartree Variational MethodWe will show a derivation of the well known Gallis-Flemming equation by the use of the variational Hartree method and we will also discuss on the possibility to extend this method in the non dissipat |

Introduction to QFT in Curved SpacetimeWe first discuss classical General Relativity with particular focus on conservation laws and symmetries. We then look at quantum field theory and the role of Poincaré symmetries. |

On the meaning of wave functionQuestions on the meaning of wave function are still very puzzling in the spite of remarkable success of quantum predictions. |
