We propose a new variant of the semiclassical quantisation with two independent parameters. The first one is proportional to the Planck constant as usually and the second one is connected with a deviation of the given potential from a very…
Fix an irrational number $\alpha$. Let $X_1,X_2,\cdots$ be independent, identically distributed, integer-valued random variables with characteristic function $\varphi$, and let $S_n=\sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ be the partial sums. Consider the random…
We study the dynamics of semiclassical electrons in (gapped) graphene in two complementary limits, i.e. in the Klein tunneling and valley Hall effect regimes, by scattering wave packets off armchair step potentials and by exposing wave…
We consider two models of one-dimensional random walks among biased i.i.d. random conductances: the first is the classical exponential tilt of the conductances, while the second comes from the effect of adding an external field to a random…
A simple example of especially constructed potential barrier enables to show analytically (not numerically) the existence of tunneling effect for a Sommerfeld particle.
The evaluation of a tunneling tail by the Herman-Kluk method, which is a quasiclassical way to compute quantum dynamics, is examined by asymptotic analysis. In the shallower part of the tail, as well as in the classically allowed region, it…
We review the existence of the infinite length self-avoiding walk in the half plane and its relationship to bridges. We prove that this probability measure is also given by the limit as $\beta \rightarrow \beta_c-$ of the probability…
For a homogeneous random walk in the quarter plane with nearest-neighbor transitions, starting from some state $(i_0,j_0)$, we study the event that the walk reaches the vertical axis, before reaching the horizontal axis. We derive an exact…
We study a class of symmetric quantum walks on Hamming graphs, where the distance between vertices specifies the transition probability. A special model is the simple quantum walk on the hypercube, which has been discussed in the…
Attempts to find a quantum-to-classical correspondence in a classically forbidden region leads to non-physical paths, involving, for example, complex time or spatial coordinates. Here, we identify genuine quasi-classical paths for tunneling…
We obtain a number of explicit estimates for quasi-norms of pseudo-differential operators in the Schatten-von Neumann classes $S_q$ with $0<q\le 1$. The estimates are applied to derive semi-classical bounds for operators with smooth or…
Methods for computing the regularized determinants of fluctuation operators are being developed. The results follow from the fact that these determinants can be expressed by eigenmodes of the fluctuation operator. As an application the…
We analyze the semiclassical $d$-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger operator in the continuum $ \frac{1}{2} \Delta + \lambda_N^2 V$ discretized on a mesh with spacing proportional to $1/N$. The semi-classical parameter $\lambda_N$ is chosen as…
Since the spin of real particles is of order of $\hbar$, it is difficult to distinguish in a quantum mechanical experiment involving spinning particles what part of the outcome is related to the spin contribution and what part is a pure…
We consider eigenfunctions of a semiclassical Schr{\"o}dinger operator on an interval, with a single-well type potential and Dirichlet boundary conditions. We give upper/lower bounds on the L^2 density of the eigenfunctions that are uniform…
We consider a centered random walk with finite variance and investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the probability that the area under this walk remains positive up to a large time $n$. Assuming that the moment of order $2+\delta$ is…
Consider $n$ points independently sampled from a density $p$ of class $\mathcal{C}^2$ on a smooth compact $d$-dimensional sub-manifold $\mathcal{M}$ of $\mathbb{R}^m$, and consider the generator of a random walk visiting these points…
Given a classical symbol $M$ of order zero, and associated semiclassical operators ${\rm op}_\varepsilon(M),$ we prove that the flow of ${\rm op}_\varepsilon(M)$ is well approximated, in time $O(|\ln \varepsilon|),$ by a pseudo-differential…
We consider two dimensional random walks conditioned to stay in the positive quadrant. Assuming that the increments of the walk have finite second moments and that the drift vector is co-oriented with one of two axes, we construct positive…
We consider the biased random walk on a tree constructed from the set of finite self-avoiding walks on a lattice, and use it to construct probability measures on infinite self-avoiding walks. The limit measure (if it exists) obtained when…
