The Einstein equation in a semiclassical approximation is applied to a spherical region of the universe, with the stress-energy tensor consisting of the mass density and pressure of the ΛCDM cosmological model plus an additional contribution due to the quantum vacuum. Expanding the equation in powers of Newton constant G, the vacuum contributes to second order. The result is that at least a part of the acceleration in the expansion of the universe may be due to the quantum vacuum fluctuations.

The quantum Hall effect emerges when two-dimensional samples are subjected to strong magnetic fields at low temperatures: Topologically protected edge states cause a quantized Hall conductivity in multiples of e^{2}/h. Here we show that the quantum Hall effect is accompanied by an orbital Hall effect. Our quantum mechanical calculations fit well the semiclassical interpretation in terms of "skipping orbits.

The anomalous Hall conductivity of all transition metal trihalides was explored using first-principles calculations. Employing the Fukui-Hatsugai-Suzuki method, we found that ferromagnetic monolayersBr(= Pd, Pt) possessed the quantized anomalous Hall conductivity (QAHC) with and without carrier doping. Due to unique QAHC, their transverse thermoelectric properties ofBr(= Pd, Pt) were investigated.

We present an approximate semiclassical (SC) framework for mixed quantized dynamics in Wigner phase space in a two-part series. In the first article, we introduced the Adiabatic Hybrid Wigner Dynamics (AHWD) method that allows for a few important "system" degrees of freedom to be quantized using high-level double Herman-Kluk SC theory while describing the rest (the "bath") using classical-limit linearized SC theory. In this second article, we extend our hybrid Wigner dynamics to nonadiabatic processes.
