We report a quantum field theoretical description of light transport and random lasing. The Bethe-Salpeter equation is solved including maximally crossed diagrams and non-elastic scattering. This is the first theoretical framework that…
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the empirical eigenvalues distribution of the partial transpose of a random quantum state. The limiting distribution was previously investigated via Wishart random matrices indirectly (by…
Recent advances in submicrometer technology have made it possible to confine the two-dimensional electron gas into high-mobility semi-conductor heterostructures. Such structure with a lattice of electron-depleted circular obstacles are…
The Slicer Map is a one-dimensional non-chaotic dynamical system that shows sub-, super-, and normal diffusion as a function of its control parameter. In a recent paper [Salari et al., CHAOS 25, 073113 (2015)] it was found that the moments…
Although the effects of interactions in solid state systems still remains a widely open subject, some limiting cases such as the three dimensional Fermi liquid or the one-dimensional Luttinger liquid are by now well understood when one is…
We introduce and analyze a model for the transport of particles or energy in extended lattice systems. The dynamics of the model acts on a discrete phase space at discrete times but has nonetheless some of the characteristic properties of…
In this paper, we propose a general mechanism for the existence of quasicrystals in spatially extended systems (partial differential equations with Euclidean symmetry). We argue that the existence of quasicrystals with higher order…
We present a molecular dynamics study on atomic self-diffusion in Frank-Kasper type dodecagonal quasicrystals. It is found that the quasicrystal-specific flip mechanism for atomic diffusion as predicted by Kalugin and Katz, indeed occurs in…
We study the motion of a particle moving on a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, whose sites are randomly occupied by either right or left rotators, which rotate the particle's velocity to its right or left, according to deterministic…
The scaled standard Wigner matrix (symmetric with mean zero, variance one i.i.d. entries), and its limiting eigenvalue distribution, namely the semi-circular distribution, has attracted much attention. The $2k$th moment of the limit equals…
Quasicrystals can be described as projections of sections of higher dimensional periodic lattices into real space. The image of the lattice points in the projected out dimensions, called the perpendicular space, carries valuable information…
The mean free path is an essential characteristic length in disordered systems. In microscopic calculations, it is usually approximated by the classical value of the elastic mean free path. It corresponds to the Boltzmann mean free path…
We study the scattering of graphene quasiparticles by topological defects, represented by holes, pentagons and heptagons. For the case of holes, we obtain the phase shift and found that at low concentration they appear to be irrelevant for…
Phyllotactic patterns possess the quasicrystalline structure of the quasiperiodic Penrose tiling pattern. The author has shown that quasicrystalline structure of the quasiperiodic Penrose tiling pattern underlie iterative growth processes…
Biased diffusion of two species with conserved dynamics on a 2xL periodic lattice is studied via Monte Carlo simulations. In contrast to its simple one-dimensional version on a ring, this quasi one-dimensional model surprisingly exhibits…
We study the distribution of vortex lines in a three-dimensional lattice with inhomogeneous couplings. We investigate the spatial distribution of the number of vortex lines, showing how the vortex lines are expelled from the region with…
A marked lattice is a $d$-dimensional Euclidean lattice, where each lattice point is assigned a mark via a given random field on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We prove that, if the field is strongly mixing with a faster-than-logarithmic rate, then for…
A lattice-based model for continuum percolation is applied to the case of randomly located, partially aligned sticks with unequal lengths in 2D which are allowed to cross each other. Results are obtained for the critical number of sticks…
We present a detailed study of the first simple mechanical system that shows fully realistic transport behavior while still being exactly solvable at the level of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The system under consideration is a…
We study numerically and theoretically the $d$-dimensional Hamiltonian motion of fast particles through a field of scatterers, modeled by bounded, localized, (time-dependent) potentials, that we refer to as (in)elastic non-dissipative…
