Coherent quantum phenomena can only emerge when decoherence is minimized, and mastery over decoherence is technologically crucial for designing and operating functional quantum devices. However, its microscopic mechanisms in…
The new phenomenon of semiquantum chaos is analyzed in a classically regular double-well oscillator model. Here it arises from a doubling of the number of effectively classical degrees of freedom, which are nonlinearly coupled in a Gaussian…
A vortex in a Bose-Einstein condensate on a ring undergoes quantum dynamics in response to a quantum quench in terms of partial symmetry breaking from a uniform lattice to a biperiodic one. Neither the current, a macroscopic measure, nor…

We study the dynamics induced by quenching an ultracold quantum many-body system between two supersymmetric Hamiltonians. Such a quench can be created by carefully changing the external trapping potential and leads to a situation where the…
We investigate the emergence of time-dependent nonperturbative configurations during the evolution of nonlinear scalar field models with symmetric and asymmetric double-well potentials. Complex spatio-temporal behavior emerges as the system…
The vast majority of dynamical systems in classical physics are chaotic and exhibit the butterfly effect: a minute change in initial conditions can soon have exponentially large effects elsewhere. But this phenomenon is difficult to…
The anomalous Hall effect, a hallmark of broken time-reversal symmetry and spin-orbit coupling, is frequently observed in magnetically polarized systems. Its realization in non-magnetic systems, however, remains elusive. Here, we report on…

Classical and quantum annealing is discussed for a kinetically constrained chain of $N$ non-interacting asymmetric double wells, represented by Ising spins in a longitudinal field $h$. It is shown that in certain cases, where the kinetic…
We study a quantum mechanical toy model that mimics some features of a quenched phase transition. Both by virtue of a time-dependent Hamiltonian or by changing the temperature of the bath we are able to show that even after classicalization…
The Hall effects comprise one of the oldest but most vital fields in condensed matter physics, and they persistently inspire new findings, such as quantum Hall effects and topological phases of matter. The recently discovered nonlinear Hall…
To fully appreciate the impacts that the discovery of the quantum Hall effect had on electrical metrology, it may benefit the reader to cultivate a general understanding of the phenomenon. Two-dimensional electron systems can exhibit many…
A pair of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators, one subject to a gain one to a loss, is a paradigmatic setup to implement PT-symmetric, non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in that one such Hamiltonian governs the mean-field dynamics for equal gain…
We study the statistics of the work done, the fluctuation relations and the irreversible entropy production in a quantum many-body system subject to the sudden quench of a control parameter. By treating the quench as a thermodynamic…
A recent work [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 110602] showed that among a pair of \textit{thermodynamically} equidistant quenches from a colder and a hotter initial state at a fixed ambient temperature, the relaxation from the colder initial state…
We study the dynamics of correlations in a paradigmatic setup to observe $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric physics: a pair of coupled oscillators, one subject to a gain one to a loss. Starting from a coherent state, quantum correlations (QCs) are…
In terms of the de Broglie-Bohm pilot-wave formulation of quantum theory, we develop field-theoretical models of quantum nonequilibrium systems which could exist today as relics from the very early universe. We consider relic excited states…

We show that quantum mechanical entanglement can prevail even in noisy open quantum systems at high temperature and far from thermodynamical equilibrium, despite the deteriorating effect of decoherence. The system consists of a number N of…
