We consider the quantum scattering off a time dependent barrier in one dimension. Our initial state is a right going eigenstate of the Hamiltonian at time t=0. It consists of a plane wave incoming from the left, a reflected plane wave on…

We consider $N\times N$ symmetric or hermitian random matrices with independent, identically distributed entries where the probability distribution for each matrix element is given by a measure $\nu$ with a subexponential decay. We prove…

We continue the study of time-dependent Hamiltonians with an isolated singularity in their time dependence, describing propagation on singular space-times. In previous work, two of us have proposed a "minimal subtraction" prescription for…

We consider a free fermion chain with uniform nearest-neighbor hopping and let it evolve from an arbitrary initial state with a fixed macroscopic number of particles. We then prove that, at a sufficiently large and typical time, the…

We consider $N\times N$ self-adjoint Gaussian random matrices defined by an arbitrary deterministic sparsity pattern with $d$ nonzero entries per row. We show that such random matrices exhibit a canonical localization-delocalization…

We consider a general class of random matrices whose entries are centred random variables, independent up to a symmetry constraint. We establish precise high-probability bounds on the averages of arbitrary monomials in the resolvent matrix…

We study the problem of homogenization for inertial particles moving in a time dependent random velocity field and subject to molecular diffusion. We show that, under appropriate assumptions on the velocity field, the large--scale,…

Quantum dynamics of the Harper model with self-duality exhibits localized, diffusive, and ballistic states depending on the potential strength $V$. By adding time-dependent harmonic perturbations composed of $M$ incommensurate frequencies,…

We study the spectrum of the kinetic Brownian motion in the space of $d\times d$ Hermitian matrices, $d\geq2$. We show that the eigenvalues stay distinct for all times, and that the process $\Lambda$ of eigenvalues is a kinetic diffusion…

Quantum-statistical effects occur during the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves inside the dielectric media or metamaterials, which include a large class of nanophotonic and plasmonic waveguides with dissipation and noise. Exploiting…

Unraveling real eigenfrequencies in non-Hermitian $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians has opened new avenues in quantum physics, photonics, and most recently, phononics. However, the existing literature squarely focuses on exploiting such…

The eigenvalue distribution of the sum of two large Hermitian matrices, when one of them is conjugated by a Haar distributed unitary matrix, is asymptotically given by the free convolution of their spectral distributions. We prove that this…

Recent analytical and numerical work have shown that the spectrum of the random non-hermitean Hamiltonian on a ring which models the physics of vortex line pinning in superconductors is one dimensional. In the maximally non-hermitean limit,…

It has been conjectured that transport in integrable one-dimensional (1D) systems is necessarily ballistic. The large diffusive response seen experimentally in nearly ideal realizations of the S=1/2 1D Heisenberg model is therefore puzzling…
