Tunneling, though a physical reality, is shrouded in mystery. Wave packets cannot be constructed under the barrier and group velocity cannot be defined. The tunneling particle can be observed on either sides of the barrier but its…
The very notion of a current fluctuation is problematic in the quantum context. We study that problem in the context of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, both in a microscopic setup and in a Markovian model. Our answer is based on a…
Transitions between states with continuous (called as classical state) and discrete (called as quantum state) spectrum of permitted momentum values is considered. The persistent current can exist along the ring circumference in the quantum…
We study the properties of the random quantum states induced from the uniformly random pure states on a bipartite quantum system by taking the partial trace over the larger subsystem. Most of the previous studies have adopted a viewpoint of…
In this work, dissipative quantum backflow is studied for a superposition of two stretched Gaussian wave packets and two identical spinless particles within the Caldirola-Kanai framework. Backflow is mainly an interference process and…
I discuss in an elementary and self-contained way the nature of the current-carrying state in Hall superfluids. The explicit connection of fractional charge and rationality of the filling fraction $\nu$ with quantization of angular…
Turbulence is one of the most prototypical phenomena of systems driven out of equilibrium. While turbulence has been studied mainly with classical fluids like water, considerable attention is now drawn to quantum turbulence (QT), observed…
An interpretation of the probability flux is given, based on a derivation of its eigenstates and relating them to coherent state projections on a quantum wavefunction. An extended definition of the flux operator is obtained using coherent…
Reverse annealing is a variant of quantum annealing, in which the system is prepared in a classical state, reverse-annealed to an inversion point, and then forward-annealed. We report on reverse annealing experiments using the D-Wave 2000Q…
Electromagnetic energy backflow is a phenomenon occurring in regions where the direction of the Poynting vector is opposite to that of the propagation of the wave field. It is particularly remarkable in the nonparaxial regime and has been…
A serious objection made by Wallstrom against quantum interpretations based flow variables, in particular Nelsonian stochastics, is their empirical inequivalence with quantum theory: They are unable to obtain a quantization condition for…
A key property of topologically ordered systems, such as Quantum Hall states, is the existence of excitations obeying fractional quantum statistics - anyons. We develop a theory for multicomponent counterflow states where an ordinary…
Forty-five years after the discovery of the peculiar quantum effect known as `probability backflow', and twenty years after the greatest possible size of the effect was characterized, an experiment has been proposed recently to observe the…
Oscillations of superconducting current between clockwise and counterclockwise directions in a flux qubit do not conserve the angular momentum of the qubit. To compensate for this effect the solid containing the qubit must oscillate in…
In this paper the random channels and their compositions in the space of quantum states are studied. For compositions of i.i.d. random unitary channels, the limit behaviour of probability distributions is described. The sufficient condition…
Obtaining an accurate ground state wave function is one of the great challenges in the quantum many-body problem. In this paper, we propose a new class of wave functions, neural network backflow (NNB). The backflow approach, pioneered…
We present a scheme to store unitary operators with self-inverse generators in quantum states and a general circuit to retrieve them with definite success probability. The continuous variable of the operator is stored in a single-qubit…
Recurrence in the classical random walk is well known and described by the P\'olya number. For quantum walks, recurrence is similarly understood in terms of the probability of a localized quantum walker to return to its origin. Under…
We consider a class (convex set) of quantum states containing all finite rank states and infinite rank states with the sufficient rate of decreasing of eigenvalues (in particular, all Gaussian states). Quantum states from this class are…
Students in quantum mechanics class are taught that the wave function contains all knowable information about an isolated system. Later in the course, this view seems to be contradicted by the mysterious density matrix, which introduces a…
