Generació Einstein 3.0. La comunicació en un món nou

Imaginem-nos que volem vendre alguna cosa a un jove: un producte, una idea o potser unes pràctiques a la nostra empresa. Com ho faríeu? Quins mètodes podríeu fer servir? Ho faríeu de la mateixa manera que ho heu fet sempre? Penseu que els vostres anuncis, textos publicitaris, llocs web o cartells encara serien vàlids? Creieu que tots els diners invertits en comunicació i màrqueting us ajudarien a assolir l’objectiu? Si la resposta a aquestes preguntes és que sí, aleshores no cal que continueu llegint. Podeu continuar comunicant-vos amb els joves com ho heu fet fins ara, perquè us funciona. Però si us passa com a tots nosaltres i reconeixeu que la comunicació amb els joves no és tan fàcil, que de vegades us sembla que no us veuen o no us senten, aleshores us convidem a continuar llegint. No pretenem oferir totes les respostes, ja que no tenim la clau dels seus cors, però sí que volem mirar d’entendre el seu comportament, la seva manera de pensar i les seves accions

Conservative ensembles for nonequilibrium lattice-gas systems

We show how to set up a constant particle ensemble for the steady state of nonequilibrium lattice-gas systems which originally are defined on a constant rate ensemble. We focus on nonequilibrium systems in which particles are created and annihilated on the sites of a lattice and described by a master equation. We consider also the case in which a quantity other than the number of particle is conserved. The conservative ensembles can be useful in the study of phase transitions and critical phenomena particularly discontinuous phase transitions.

Nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum fields

The nonequilibrium effective equation of motion for a scalar background field in a thermal bath is studied numerically. This equation emerges from a microscopic quantum field theory derivation and it is suitable to a Langevin simulation on the lattice. Results for both the symmetric and broken phases are presented.

Coulomb gauge quark model, vacuum condensates and high density quark matter

We consider here a Coulomb gauge quark model which includes an explicit construct for a nontrivial vacuum structure in QCD at finite density. Non-perturbative renormalization of ultraviolet diverges is performed by adding counterterms. The equation of state for u and d quark matter at zero temperature is calculated in the Hartree-Fock approximation.

Solitons in tunnel-coupled repulsive and attractive condensates

We study solitons in the condensate trapped in a double-well potential with far-separated wells, when the s-wave scattering length has different signs in the two parts of the condensate. By employing the coupled-mode approximation it is shown that there are unusual stable bright solitons in the condensate, with the larger share of atoms being gathered in the repulsive part. Such unusual solitons derive their stability from the quantum tunneling and correspond to the strong coupling between the parts of the condensate. The ground state of the system, however, corresponds to weak coupling between the condensate parts, with the larger share of atoms being gathered in the attractive part of the condensate.

Quark condensates and high density quark matter

We consider a Coulomb gauge quark model which includes an explicit construct for a nontrivial vacuum structure in QCD. The dynamics is described by a Hamiltonain that contains a linearly rising confining potential and longitudinal and transverse Coulomb-type interactions. The Coulomb potential gives rise to ultraviolate divergences which are non-perturbatively renormalized by adding appropriate counter terms to the Hamiltonian. The equation of state for u and d quark matter at zero temperature is derived in the Hartree-Fock approximation.

Nonlinear Schrodinger equation for a superfluid Bose gas from weak coupling to unitarity: Study of vortices

We introduce a nonlinear Schrodinger equation to describe the dynamics of a superfluid Bose gas in the crossover from the weak-coupling regime, where an(1/3)<<1 with a the interatomic s-wave scattering length and n the bosonic density, to the unitarity limit, where a ->+infinity. We call this equation the unitarity Schrodinger equation (USE). The zero-temperature bulk equation of state of this USE is parametrized by the Lee-Yang-Huang low-density expansion and Jastrow calculations at unitarity. With the help of the USE we study the profiles of quantized vortices and vortex-core radius in a uniform Bose gas. We also consider quantized vortices in a Bose gas under cylindrically symmetric harmonic confinement and study their profile and chemical potential using the USE and compare the results with those obtained from the Gross-Pitaevskii-type equations valid in the weak-coupling limit. Finally, the USE is applied to calculate the breathing modes of the confined Bose gas as a function of the scattering length.
