We prove two theorems concerning the time evolution in general isolated quantum systems. The theorems are relevant to the issue of the time scale in the approach to equilibrium. The first theorem shows that there can be pathological…
We present a new stability and convergence analysis for the spatial discretization of a time-fractional Fokker--Planck equation in a convex polyhedral domain, using continuous, piecewise-linear, finite elements. The forcing may depend on…
We obtain equilibration rates for a one-dimensional nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation with time-dependent diffusion coefficient and drift, modeling the relaxation of a large swarm of robots, feeling each other in terms of their distance,…
Planck's constant was introduced as a fundamental scale in the early history of quantum mechanics. We find a modern approach where Planck's constant is absent: it is unobservable except as a constant of human convention. Despite long…

A symplectic, symmetric, second-order scheme is constructed for particle evolution in a time-dependent field with a fixed spatial step. The scheme is implemented in one space dimension and tested, showing excellent adequacy to experiment…
Fluctuation terms and higher moments of a quantum state imply corrections to the classical equations of motion that may have implications in early-universe cosmology, for instance in the state-dependent form of effective potentials. In…
We study the long-time behaviour of a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation, which models the evolution of rigid polymers in a given flow, after a closure approximation. The aim of this work is twofold: first, we propose a microscopic derivation…
We consider the stochastic nonlinear Schroedinger equation driven by a multiplicative noise in a semiclassical regime, where the Plank constant is small. In this regime, the solution of the equation exhibits high-frequency oscillations. We…

The classical and quantum dynamics of simple time-reparametrization- invariant models containing two degrees of freedom are studied in detail. Elimination of one ``clock'' variable through the Hamiltonian constraint leads to a description…
In this paper we analyze the evolution of the time averaged energy densities associated with a family of solutions to a Schr{\"o}dinger equation on a Lie group of Heisenberg type. We use a semi-classical approach adapted to the stratified…
We trace the evolution of the theory of stochastic partial differential equations from the foundation to its development, until the recent solution of long-standing problems on well-posedness of the KPZ equation and the stochastic…
We investigate the symmetry of the linear q-difference equations which are associated with some q-Painlev\'e equations. We apply it for adjustment of the expression of the time evolution on the q-Painlev\'e equations in terms of the Weyl…
Semiclassical approximations to quantum dynamics are almost as old as quantum mechanics itself. In the approach pioneered by Wigner, the evolution of his quasiprobability density function on phase space is expressed as an asymptotic series…
We study the interplay between an inhomogeneous quantum quench of the external potential in a system of relativistic fermions in one dimension and the well-known Klein tunneling. We find that the large time evolution is characterized by…
With the goal in mind of deriving a method to compute quantum corrections for the real-time evolution in quantum field theory, we analyze the problem from the perspective of the Wigner function. We argue that this provides the most natural…
