Thermalization of systems described by the discrete non-linear Schr\"odinger equation, in the strong disorder limit, is investigated both theoretically and numerically. We show that introducing correlations in the disorder potential, while…
We study the collapse of an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate, where an unstable system evolves towards a singularity, by numerically solving the underlying cubic-quintic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. We find good agreement between…
As an atomic Bose Einstein condensate (BEC) is coupled to a source of uncondensed atoms at the same temperature and to a sink (extraction towards an atom laser) the idealized description in terms of a Gross-Pitaevsky equation (GP) no longer…
Ultrafast laser heating of electrons on a metal surface breaks the pressure equilibrium within the material, thus initiating ablation. The stasis of a room-temperature metal results from a balance between repulsive and attractive binding…
Guided by the analogy to the Bose-Einstein condensation of the ideal Bose gas (IBG) we propose a new model for the lambda transition of liquid helium. Deviating from the IBG our model uses phase ordered and localized single-particle…

The thermalization of an isolated quantum system is described by quantum mechanics and thermodynamics, while these two subjects are still not fully consistent with each other. This leaves a less-explored region where both quantum and…
Energy diffusion due to spontaneous localization (SL) for a relativistically-fast moving particle is examined. SL is an alternative to standard quantum theory in which quantum state reduction is treated as a random physical process which is…

The postulates of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) express that thermalization occurs due to the individual eigenstate of the system's Hamiltonian. But the ETH put no light on the dynamics that lead toward thermalization. In…
