The pressure exerted on a wall by a gas at equilibrium does not depend on the shape of the confining potential defining the wall. In contrast, it has been shown recently [A.P. Solon et al., Nat. Phys. 11, 673 (2015)] that a gas of…
Random walks and diffusions in symmetric random environment are known to exhibit metastable behavior: they tend to stay for long times in wells of the environment. For the case that the environment is a one-dimensional two-sided standard…
Recent experimental and computational studies indicate that near wall turbulent flows can be characterized by universal small scale autonomous dynamics that are modulated by large scale structures. We formulate numerical simulations of near…
Entanglement evolution in high dimensional bipartite systems under dissipation is studied. Discontinuities for the time derivative of the lower bound of entanglement of formation is found depending on the initial conditions for entangled…
The dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates in asymmetric double-wells is studied. We construct a two-mode model and analyze the properties of the corresponding phase-space diagram, showing in particular that the minimum of the phase-space…
We design fast bias inversions of an asymmetric double well so that the lowest states in each well remain so and free from residual motional excitation. This cannot be done adiabatically, and a sudden bias switch produces in general…
The interaction between near-wall turbulence and wall curvature is described for the incompressible flow in a plane channel with a small concave-convex-concave bump on the bottom wall, with height comparable to the wall-normal location of…
Turbulent flows are observed in low-Reynolds active fluids. They are intrinsically different from the classical inertial turbulence and behave distinctively in two- and three-dimensions. Understanding the behaviors of this new type of…
We review two recent results on the ground state properties of bosonic systems trapped by a double well external potential. In the limit of large population and large separation between the wells we prove that fluctuations in the number of…
We demonstrate slow dynamics and constrained motion of domain walls in one-dimensional (1D) interacting bosons with double-well dispersion. In the symmetry-broken regime, the domain-wall motion is ``fractonlike'' -- a single domain wall…
Modeling of wall-bounded turbulent flows is still an open problem in classical physics, with only modest progress made in the last few decades beyond the so-called `log law', which describes only the intermediate region in wall-bounded…
The dynamics of the two-dimensional (2D) state in driven tridimensional (3D) incompressible magnetohydrodynamic turbulence is investigated through high-resolution direct numerical simulations and in the presence of an external magnetic…
We give precise meaning to piecewise constant potentials in non-commutative quantum mechanics. In particular we discuss the infinite and finite non-commutative spherical well in two dimensions. Using this, bound-states and scattering can be…
In disordered elastic systems, driven by displacing a parabolic confining potential adiabatically slowly, all advance of the system is in bursts, termed avalanches. Avalanches have a finite extension in time, which is much smaller than the…
In the rapidly rotating limit, we derive a balanced set of reduced equations governing the strongly nonlinear development of the convective wall-mode instability in the interior of a general container. The model illustrates that wall-mode…
Percolation theory is applied to the phase-transition dynamics of domain pattern formation in segregating binary Bose--Einstein condensates in quasi-two-dimensional systems. Our finite-size-scaling analysis shows that the percolation…
We study the dynamical behavior of a one dimensional interface interacting with a sticky unpenetrable substrate or wall. The interface is subject to two effects going in opposite directions. Contact between the interface and the substrate…
We study large-scale kinematic dynamo action of steady mirror-antisymmetric flows of incompressible fluid, that involve small spatial scales only, by asymptotic methods of the multiscale stability theory. It turns out that, due to the…
We study the instability of a thin membrane (of zero bending rigidity) to out-of-plane deflections, when the membrane is immersed in an inviscid fluid flow and sheds a trailing vortex-sheet wake. We solve the nonlinear eigenvalue problem…
Self-similar dynamical processes are characterized by a growing length scale $\xi$ which increases with time as $\xi \sim t^{1/z}$, where z is the dynamical exponent. The best known example is a simple random walk with z=2. Usually such…
