We review the quantum spectral curve (QSC) formalism for anomalous dimensions of planar ${\cal\ N}=4$ SYM, including its $\gamma$-deformation. Leaving aside its derivation, we concentrate on formulation of the "final product" in its most…
We apply the recently proposed quantum spectral curve technique to the study of twist operators in planar N=4 SYM theory. We focus on the small spin expansion of anomalous dimensions in the sl(2) sector and compute its first two orders…

We study a scalar field model in a two dimensional space-time with a generalized $\phi^4_G$ potential which has four minima, obtaining novel kink solutions with well defined properties although the potential is non-analytical at the origin.…

We calculate the quantum correction to the classical conductance of a disordered mesoscopic normal-superconducting (NS) junction in which the electron spatial and spin degrees of freedom are coupled by an appreciable spin orbit interaction.…
It is well-known in physics that the limit of large quantum spin $S$ should be understood as a semiclassical limit. This raises the question of whether such emergent classicality facilitates the approximation of computationally hard quantum…
The quantum kicked rotor (QKR) model is a prototypical system in the research of quantum chaos. In a spin-$1/2$ QKR, tuning the effective Planck parameter realizes a series of transitions between dynamical localization phases, which closely…
We study quantum corrections to conductivity in a 2D system with a smooth random potential and strong spin-orbit splitting of the spectrum. We show that the interference correction is positive and down to the very low temperature can exceed…
