Quantum computers are ideally set up to solve linear systems which are of a form similar to the Schrodinger/Dirac equation of quantum mechanics. In the framework of linear response theory, the propagation and scattering of electromagnetic…
We consider the empirical eigenvalue distribution for a class of non-Hermitian random block tridiagonal matrices $T$ with independent entries. The matrix has $n$ blocks on the diagonal and each block has size $\ell_n$, so the whole matrix…

We consider the eigenvalues of sample covariance matrices of the form $\mathcal{Q}=(\Sigma^{1/2}X)(\Sigma^{1/2}X)^*$. The sample $X$ is an $M\times N$ rectangular random matrix with real independent entries and the population covariance…
It is well-known under the name of `periodic homogenization' that, under a centering condition of the drift, a periodic diffusion process on R^d converges, under diffusive rescaling, to a d-dimensional Brownian motion. Existing proofs of…

Several physical phenomena in superconductors, such as helical superconductivity and the diode effect, rely on breaking time-reversal symmetry. This symmetry-breaking is usually accounted for via the Lifshitz invariant, a contribution to…
We consider a diffusive matrix process $(X_t)_{t\ge 0}$ defined as $X_t:=A+H_t$ where $A$ is a given deterministic Hermitian matrix and $(H_t)_{t\ge 0}$ is a Hermitian Brownian motion. The matrix $A$ is the "external source" that one would…
The butterfly velocity $v_B$ has been proposed as a characteristic velocity for information propagation in local systems. It can be measured by the ballistic spreading of local operators in time (or, equivalently, by out-of-time-ordered…
