Spontaneous collapse models and Bohmian mechanics are two different solutions to the measurement problem plaguing orthodox quantum mechanics. They have, a priori nothing in common. At a formal level, collapse models add a non-linear noise…

Decoherence of a quantum system induced by the interaction with its environment (measuring medium) may be presented phenomenologically as a continuous (or repeated) fuzzy quantum measurement. The dynamics of the system subject to continuous…

We find a relationship between the dynamics of the Gaussian wave packet and the dynamics of the corresponding Gaussian Wigner function from the Hamiltonian/symplectic point of view. The main result states that the momentum map corresponding…
We report the propagation of fast wavepackets in classical non-Hermitian lattices, where the group velocity is controlled by the non-Hermiticity parameters, and can be made higher than in the Hermitian counterpart. Specifically, we obtain a…
We study the statistics of wave functions in a ballistic chaotic system. The statistical ensemble is generated by adding weak smooth disorder. The conjecture of Gaussian fluctuations of wave functions put forward by Berry and generalized by…
The analysis of the Helmholtz equation is shown to lead to an exact Hamiltonian system of equations describing in terms of ray trajectories a very wide family of wave-like phenomena (including diffraction and interference) going much beyond…
Coherent dynamics of atomic matter waves in a standing-wave laser field is studied. In the dressed-state picture, wave packets of ballistic two-level atoms propagate simultaneously in two optical potentials. The probability to make a…
We investigate what can be concluded about a quantum system when sequential quantum measurements of its observable -- a prominent example of the so-called quantum stochastic process -- fulfill the Kolmogorov consistency condition and thus…
Statistical properties of the antisymmetrized molecular dynamics (AMD) are classical in the case of nucleon emission processes, while they are quantum mechanical for the processes without nucleon emission. We first clarify that there…
