An electromagnetic wave-packet propagating in a linear, homogeneous, and isotropic medium changes shape while its envelope travels with different velocities at different points in spacetime. In general, a wave-packet can be described as a…
Gaussian wavepackets are a popular tool for semiclassical analyses of classically chaotic systems. We demonstrate that they are extremely powerful in the semiquantal analysis of such systems, too, where their dynamics can be recast in an…
We explore the analogy between following the motion of a reflected wave packet, and a quantum measurement of the spatial delay imposed on the particle by the scattering potential. It is shown that converting such delays into temporal…
In this work, we investigate time-dependent wave scattering by multiple small particles of arbitrary shape. To approximate the solution of the associated boundary-value problem, we derive an asymptotic model that is valid in the limit as…
The three-wave resonant interaction equations are a non-dispersive system of partial differential equations with quadratic coupling describing the time evolution of the complex amplitudes of three resonant wave modes. Collisions of wave…
We consider a semiclassical approximation for the time evolution of an originally gaussian wave packet in terms of complex trajectories. We also derive additional approximations replacing the complex trajectories by real ones. These yield…
Asymptotic solution to many-body wave scattering problem is given in the case of many small scatterers. The small scatterers can be particles whose physical properties are described by the boundary impedances, or they can be small…

Waves propagating through a weakly scattering random medium show a pronounced branching of the flow accompanied by the formation of freak waves, i.e., extremely intense waves. Theory predicts that this strong fluctuation regime is…
Scattering of electromagnetic (EM) waves by many small particles (bodies) embedded in a homogeneous medium is studied. Physical properties of the particles are described by their boundary impedances. The limiting equation is obtained for…
Colliding high energy hadrons either produce new particles or scatter elastically with their quantum numbers conserved and no other particles produced. We consider the latter case here. Although inelastic processes dominate at high…
Quantum mechanics is sensitive to the geometry of the underlying space. Here, we present a framework for quantum scattering of a non-relativistic particle confined to a two-dimensional space. When the motion manifold hosts localized…
We study the decrease of fluctuations of diagonal matrix elements of observables and of Husimi densities of quantum mechanical wave functions around their mean value upon approaching the semi-classical regime ($\hbar \rightarrow 0$). The…
We formulate the transition from decelerated to accelerated expansion as a bounce in connection space and study its quantum cosmology, knowing that reflections are notorious for bringing quantum effects to the fore. We use a formalism for…
Ultrafast time-resolved x-ray scattering is an emerging approach to image the dynamical evolution of the electronic charge distribution during complex chemical and biological processes in real-space and real-time. Recently, the differences…
In the paper, we discuss the studies of mathematical models of diffusion scattering of waves in the phase space, and relation of these models with quantum mechanics. In the previous works it is shown that in these models of classical…

We examine the dynamics of a wave packet that initially corresponds to a coherent state in the model of quantum kicked rotator. This main model of quantum chaos, which allows for a transition from regular to to chaotic behavior in the…
The aim of this paper is to study the semi-classical behaviour of Schr\"odinger's dynamics for an one-dimesional quantum Hamiltonian with a classical hyperbolic trajectory. As in the regular case (elliptic trajectory), we prove, that for an…
