We study the transition probability and coherence of a two-site system, interacting with an oscillator. Both properties depend on the initial preparation. The oscillator is prepared in a thermal state and, even though it cannot be…
We consider fluids where the attractive interaction at distances slightly larger than the particle size is dominated at larger distances by a repulsive contribution. A previous investigation of the effects of the competition between…

We study, on a $d$ dimensional hypercubic lattice, a random walk which is homogeneous except for one site. Instead of visiting this site, the walker hops over it with arbitrary rates. The probability distribution of this walk and the…
The behavior of a spin undergoing Larmor precession in the presence of fluctuating fields is of interest to workers in many fields. The fluctuating fields cause frequency shifts and relaxation which are related to their power spectrum,…
Fusion rules in turbulence address the asymptotic properties of many-point correlation functions when some of the coordinates are very close to each other. Here we put to experimental test some non-trivial consequences of the fusion rules…
Dynamics of a one-dimensional system of Brownian particles with short-range repulsive interaction (diameter sigma) is studied with a liquid-theoretical approach. The mean square displacement, the two-particle displacement correlation, and…
We introduce a model that explains the phenomenon of correlation-assisted tunneling and puts it in a broader context. This model assumes the existence of an effective force of pure quantum nature between nearby fragments of correlated…
The correlation functions related to topological phase transitions in inversion-symmetric lattice models described by $2\times 2$ Dirac Hamiltonians are discussed. In one dimension, the correlation function measures the charge-polarization…
A known limitation of time-dependent mean-field approaches is a lack of quantum tunneling for collective motions such as in sub-barrier fusion reactions. As a first step toward a solution, a time-dependent model is considered using a…
It is usually assumed that the high-energy evolution of partons in QCD remains local in coordinate space. In particular, fixed impact-parameter scattering is thought to be in the universality class of one-dimensional reaction-diffusion…
Contact has been well established as an important quantity to govern dilute quantum systems, in which the pairwise correlation at short distance traces a broad range of thermodynamic properties. So far, studies have been focusing on contact…
