We study the diffusion and deformation of classical solitons coupled to thermal noise. The diffusion coefficient for kinks in the $\phi^4$ theory is predicted up to the second order in $kT$. The prediction is verified by numerical…
Spontaneous creation of solitons in quadratic media by the downconversion, i.e., parametric instability against the generation of fundamental-frequency excitations, from the truncated Airy-wave (AW) mode in the second-harmonic component is…
We study numerically classical collisions of waves in $\lambda\phi^4$ theory. These processes correspond to multiparticle scattering in the semiclassical regime. Parametrizing initial and final wavepackets by energy $E$ and particle numbers…
We study the pair-production process in the presence of two counterpropagating linearly polarized short laser pulses. By means of a nonperturbative technique, we take into account the full coordinate dependence of the external field going…
We compute the vacuum polarization energies (VPE) of solitons in a self-dual impurity model in which the soliton profiles take the shape of a separated kink-antikink pair. Classically the soliton energies are invariant under the change of a…
We present analytic expressions describing generation of the entanglement in collisions of initially uncorrelated quantum solitons. The results, obtained by means of the Born's approximation (for fast solitons), are valid for both…
We study kink-antikink scattering in a one-parameter variant of the $\phi^4$ theory where the model parameter controls the static intersoliton force. We interpolate between the limit of no static force (BPS limit) and the regime where the…

We show theoretically that polariton pairs with a high degree of polarization entanglement can be produced through parametric scattering. We demonstrate that it can emerge in coincidence experiments, even at low excitation densities where…
We investigate via Molecular Dynamics simulations the propagation of solitons in a two-dimensional many-body system characterized by Yukawa interaction potential. The solitons are created in an equilibrated system by the application of…
The exact solutions of the wave equation for arbitrary spin particles in the field of the soliton-like electric impulse were obtained. The differential probability of pair production of particles by electromagnetic fields has been evaluated…
We often observe that waves on the surface of shallow water form complex web-like patterns. They are examples of nonlinear waves, and these patterns are generated by nonlinear interactions among several obliquely propagating waves. In this…
We derive a formula for the entanglement entropy of two regions in momentum space that is generated by the scattering of weakly interacting scalar particles. We discuss an example where weak interactions entangle momentum scales above and…
The theory of acoustic wave scattering by many small bodies is developed for bodies with impedance boundary condition. It is shown that if one embeds many small particles in a bounded domain, filled with a known material, then one can…
One of the main features of superfluids is the presence of topological defects with quantised circulation. These objects are known as quantum vortices and exhibit a hydrodynamic behaviour. Nowadays, particles are the main experimental tool…
The relationship between classical and quantum mechanics is explored in an intuitive manner by the exercise of constructing a wave in association with a classical particle. Using special relativity, the time coordinate in the frame of…
