Having proper correlations for hydrodynamic forces is essential for successful CFD-DEM simulations of a fluidized bed. For spherical particles in a fluidized bed, efficient correlations for predicting the drag force, including the crowding effect caused by surrounding particles, are already available and well tested. However, for elongated particles, next to the drag force, the lift force, and hydrodynamic torque also gain importance. In this work, we apply recently developed multi-particle correlations for drag, lift and torque in CFD-DEM simulations of a fluidized bed with spherocylindrical particles of aspect ratio 4 and compare them to simulations with widely used single-particle correlations for elongated particles. Simulation results are compared with previous magnetic particle tracking experimental results. We show that multi-particle correlations improve the prediction of particle orientation and vertical velocity. We also show the importance of including hydrodynamic torque.

The cumulant expansion of the Green's function is a computationally efficient beyond-GW approach renowned for its significant enhancement of satellite features in materials. In contrast to the ubiquitous GW approximation of many-body perturbation theory, cumulant expansions performed on top of GW (GW + C) have demonstrated the capability to handle multi-particle processes by incorporating higher-order correlation effects or vertex corrections, yielding better agreements between experiment and theory for satellite structures. While widely employed in condensed matter physics, very few applications of GW + C have been published on molecular systems.

The multi-particle Arnol'd cat is a generalization of the Hamiltonian system, both classical and quantum, whose period evolution operator is the renowned map that bears its name. It is obtained following the Joos-Zeh prescription for decoherence by adding a number of scattering particles in the configuration space of the cat. Quantization follows swiftly if the Hamiltonian approach, rather than the semiclassical approach, is adopted.

The source parameter conditions required to generate a physical beam are derived. The statistical properties of such beam propagating in free space and turbulent atmosphere are thoroughly examined using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle.

When tracking fluorescently labeled molecules (termed "emitters") under widefield microscopes, point spread function overlap of neighboring molecules is inevitable in both dilute and especially crowded environments. In such cases, superresolution methods leveraging rare photophysical events to distinguish static targets nearby in space introduce temporal delays that compromise tracking. As we have shown in a companion manuscript, for dynamic targets, information on neighboring fluorescent molecules is encoded as spatial intensity correlations across pixels and temporal correlations in intensity patterns across time frames.

Quantum states depend on the coordinates of all their constituent particles, with essential multi-particle correlations. Time-resolved laser spectroscopy is widely used to probe the energies and dynamics of excited particles and quasiparticles such as electrons and holes, excitons, plasmons, polaritons or phonons. However, nonlinear signals from single- and multiple-particle excitations are all present simultaneously and cannot be disentangled without a priori knowledge of the system.
