We develop a Born-Oppenheimer-type formalism for the description of quantum thermal transport across hybrid nanoscale objects. Our formalism is suitable for treating heat transfer in the off-resonant regime, where, e.g., the relevant vibrational modes of the interlocated molecule are high relative to typical bath frequencies, and at low temperatures when tunneling effects dominate. A general ex...

We consider the Born-Oppenheimer problem near conical intersection in two dimensions. For energies close to the crossing energy we describe the wave function near an isotropic crossing and show that it is related to generalized hypergeometric functions 0F3. This function is to a conical intersection what the Airy function is to a classical turning point. As an application we calculate the anoma...

We present a time-reversible Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics scheme, based on self-consistent Hartree-Fock or density functional theory, where both the nuclear and the electronic degrees of freedom are propagated in time. We show how a time-reversible adiabatic propagation of the electronic degrees of freedom is possible despite the nonlinearity and incompleteness of the self-consistent fie...

We report on the recent progress computation of doubly heavy baryon spectrum in effective field theory. The theory is built upon heavy-quark mass and adiabatic expansions. potentials can be expressed as NRQCD Wilson loops with operator insertions. These are nonperturbative objects so far only one corresponding to static potential has been computed lattice QCD. review proposal for a parametrizat...

submitted as a Technical Comment to Science Sir: I am writing in comment to the recent survey by Oppenheimer et al [1]. This survey finds 34 high velocity white dwarfs, and concludes that these white dwarfs form a component of dark matter, representing 3% of the local mass of the halo. This survey is similar to the Luyten survey [2], covering 10% of the sky whereas Luyten covers 2/3 of the sky,...
