Geometric phase of an open quantum system that is interacting with a thermal environment (bath) is studied through some simple examples. The system is considered to be a simple spin-half particle which is weakly coupled to the bath. It is…

A dynamical process that takes a random time to complete, e.g., a chemical reaction, may either be accelerated or hindered due to resetting. Tuning system parameters such as temperature, viscosity or concentration, can invert the effect of…
Recent experiments with dense laser-driven atomic gases [G. Ferioli et al., arXiv:2207.10361 (2022)] have realized a many-body system which in the thermodynamic limit yields a so-called boundary time-crystal. This state of matter is…

Thermo-responsive hydrogels are a promising material for creating controllable actuators for use in micro-scale devices, since they expand and contract significantly (absorbing or expelling fluid) in response to relatively small temperature…
Chiral condensed matter systems, such as liquid crystals and magnets, exhibit a host of spatially localized topological structures that emerge from the medium's tendency to twist and its competition with confinement and field coupling…

Spatiotemporal control encompasses a variety of techniques for producing laser pulses with dynamic intensity peaks that move independently of the group velocity. This controlled motion of the intensity peak offers a new approach to…
We consider the homogenization of an optimal control problem in which the control is placed on a part of the boundary and the spatial domain contains a thin layer of "small particles", very close to the controlling boundary, and a Robin…
The relevance of magnetic impurity problems in cold atom systems depends crucially on the nature of exchange interaction between itinerant fermionic atoms and a localized impurity atom. In particular, Kondo physics occurs only if the…

In models of thick wall electroweak baryogenesis a common assumption is that the plasma interacting with the expanding Higgs bubble wall during the electroweak phase transition is in kinetic equilibrium (or close to it). We point out that,…
