A general computational scheme for the (nonrelativistic) Bethe logarithm is developed, opening the route to "routine" evaluation of the leading-order quantum electrodynamics correction (QED) relevant for spectroscopic applications for small polyatomic and polyelectronic molecular systems. The implementation relies on the Schwartz method and minimization of a Hylleraas functional. In relation with electronically excited states, a projection technique is considered, which ensures positive definiteness of the functional over the entire parameter (photon momentum) range. Using this implementation, the Bethe logarithm is converged to a relative precision better than 1:10 for selected electronic states of the two-electron H and H, and the three-electron He and H+H molecular systems. The present work focuses on nuclear configurations near the local minimum of the potential energy surface, but the computations can be repeated also for other structures.

Critical slowing down near a magnetic quantum phase transition with fermionic breakdown.

When a system close to a continuous phase transition is subjected to perturbations, it takes an exceptionally long time to return to equilibrium. This critical slowing down is observed universally in the dynamics of bosonic excitations, such as order-parameter collective modes, but it is not generally expected to occur for fermionic excitations. Here using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, we find evidence for fermionic critical slowing down in YbRhSi close to a quantum phase transition between an antiferromagnetic phase and a heavy Fermi liquid.

We classify origin limits of maximally helicity violating multigluon scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, where a large number of cross ratios approach zero, with the help of cluster algebras. By analyzing existing perturbative data and bootstrapping new data, we provide evidence that the amplitudes become the exponential of a quadratic polynomial in the large logarithms. With additional input from the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz at strong coupling, we conjecture exact expressions for amplitudes with up to eight gluons in all origin limits.

We obtain the quark and gluon rapidity anomalous dimension to fourth order in QCD. We calculate the N^{3}LO rapidity anomalous dimensions to higher order in the dimensional regulator and make use of the soft and rapidity anomalous dimension correspondence in conjunction with the recent determination of the N^{4}LO threshold anomalous dimensions to achieve our result. We show that the results for the quark and gluon rapidity anomalous dimensions at four loops are related by generalized Casimir scaling.

Mellin-Barnes (MB) integrals are well-known objects appearing in many branches of mathematics and physics, ranging from hypergeometric functions theory to quantum field theory, solid-state physics, asymptotic theory, etc. Although MB integrals have been studied for more than one century, until now there has been no systematic computational technique of the multiple series representations of N-fold MB integrals for N>2. Relying on a simple geometrical analysis based on conic hulls, we show here a solution to this important problem.
