Emotions in charter school teaching: Three stories from year one
(LEARN (Canada), 2018)The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the experiences of two recent graduates from an undergraduate initial certification educator preparation program (EPP) who began their first year working for a charter school in ... -
Entanglement in quantum computers described by the XXZ model with defects.
(American Physical Society, 2003-06)We investigate on how to generate maximally entangled states in systems characterized by the Hamiltonian of the XXZ model with defects. Some proposed quantum computers are described by such a model. Defects embedded in ... -
Entropy of Isolated Quantum Systems after a Quench.
(American Physical Society, 2011-07-18)A diagonal entropy, which depends only on the diagonal elements of the system’s density matrix in the energy representation, has been recently introduced as the proper definition of thermodynamic entropy in out-of-equilibrium ... -
Environmental pollution in the Ta’nach and in the Talmud
(Yeshiva University Stern College for Women, 2018)The scope of pollution in the time of the Mishnah and Talmud was much different than of today. For example, consider the magnitude of today’s industrial complexes and the type of pollutants of today, e.g., PCBs, PBBs, ... -
Excited-state quantum phase transitions studied from a non-Hermitian perspective.
(American Physical Society, 2017-01-24)A main distinguishing feature of non-Hermitian quantum mechanics is the presence of exceptional points (EPs). They correspond to the coalescence of two energy levels and their respective eigenvectors. Here, we use the ... -
Experimental Detection of the Correlation R ́enyi Entropy in the Central Spin Model.
(2020-11)We propose and experimentally measure an entropy that quantifies the volume of correlations among qubits.The experiment is carried out on a nearly isolated quantum system composed of a central spin coupled and initially ... -
Exponentially fast dynamics in the Fock space of chaotic man y-body systems.
(arXiv.org, 2018-02-22)We demonstrate analytically and numerically that in isolated quantum systems of many interacting particles, the number of states participating in the evolution after a quench increases exponentially in time, provided the ... -
Exponentially fast dynamics of chaotic many-body systems.
(American Physical Society, 2019-01-02)We demonstrate analytically and numerically that in isolated quantum systems of many interacting particles, the number of many-body states participating in the evolution after a quench increases exponentially in time, ... -
From few- to many-body quantum systems.
(IOP Publishing, 2018-09-03)How many particles are necessary to make a quantum system many-body? To answer this question, we take as reference for the many-body limit a quantum system at half-filling and compare its properties with those of a system ... -
Generic dynamical features of quenched interacting quantum systems: Survival probability, density imbalance, and out-of-time-ordered correlator.
(American Physical Society, 2018-02-23)We study numerically and analytically the quench dynamics of isolated many-body quantum systems. Using full random matrices from the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble, we obtain analytical expressions for the evolution of the ... -
A genetic analysis of the events leading to the birth of Dinah
(Torah U-Madda Project of the Max Stem Division of Communal Services of the Rabbi Issac Elchanan Theological Seminary, an affiliate of Yeshiva University, 1997)An individual's understanding of any subject matter is influenced by life experiences and prior knowledge. People with divergent secular backgrounds will interpret specific aspects of the Torah from their own distinctive ... -
Ground-state energy distribution of disordered many-body quantum systems
(arXiv preprints, 2022-05-19)Extreme-value distributions are studied in the context of a broad range of problems, from the equilibrium properties of low-temperature disordered systems to the occurrence of natural disasters. Our focus here is on the ... -
Halacha meets DNA fingerprinting
(Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University, 2015)The genetic code is stored within the sequences of nitrogenous bases (i.e., adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine) on DNA of nuclear chromosomes and on mitochondrial DNA. Except for isolated mutations, an individual’s DNA ... -
Heating suppression by long-range interactions in periodically driven spin chains.
(arXiv preprint, 2021-05-20)We propose a mechanism to suppress heating in periodically driven many-body quantum systems by employing sufficiently long-range interactions and experimentally relevant initial conditions. The mechanism is robust to local ... -
How many particles make up a chaotic many-body quantum system?
(arXiv preprint arXiv:2012.14436, 2020-12-28)We numerically investigate the minimum number of interacting particles, which is required for the onset of strong chaos in quantum systems on a one-dimensional lattice with short-range and long-range interactions. We ... -
Identification of quantum scars via phase-space localization measures
(arXiv preprint, 2021-07-14)There is no unique way to quantify the degree of delocalization of quantum states in unbounded continuous spaces. In this work, we explore a recently introduced localization measure that quantifies the portion of the ... -
In pursuit of a wild patience
(Routledge / Taylor & Francis, 2014)This essay explores how the concept of wild patience informs our practice of teaching and learning in classrooms and in teacher education; how it crafts imaginative spaces in curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation ... -
Interacting bosons in a triple well: Preface of many-body quantum chaos
(arXiv.org, 2021-11)Systems of interacting bosons in triple-well potentials are of significant theoretical and experimental interest. They are explored in contexts that range from quantum phase transitions and quantum dynamics to semiclassical ... -
Interview with Prof. Jill Katz at Tel es Safi. [video]
(Israel: Nachliel Selavan Museum Tours [museumtours.co.il], 2016-07)Interview with Prof. Dr. Jill C. Katz, Stern College for Women, Yeshiva University and Nachliel Selavan about Tel es Safi, Goliath's hometown). -
Is there a place for prehistoric man within the Torah? The view of one European gadol, Rabbi Israel Lipschitz
(Yeshiva University Stern College for Women, 2021)This article is a companion to the prior article, “Dinosaurs and Wooly Mammoths - is there a Torah Viewpoint?” [1] and the rationale for publication is the same -- numerous Jewish day schools and yeshivot visit the ...
