In many real world chaotic systems, the interest is typically in determining when the system will behave in an extreme manner. Flooding and drought, extreme heatwaves, large earthquakes, and large drops in the stock market are examples of…
Experiments show that macroscopic systems in a stationary nonequilibrium state exhibit long range correlations of the local thermodynamic variables. In previous papers we proposed a Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the nonequilibrium free…
We consider a Hamiltonian system made of $N$ classical particles moving in two dimensions, coupled via an {\it infinite-range interaction} gauged by a parameter $A$. This system shows a low energy phase with most of the particles trapped in…
An instructive and apparently simple model of fully-coupled rotators, the so-called Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model, together with a generalized version with variable interaction range, have revealed a very complex out-of-equilibrium…
We show that optomechanical quantum systems can undergo dissipative phase transitions within the limit of small nonlinear interaction and strong external drive. In such a defined thermodynamical limit, the nonlinear interaction stabilizes…
We examine the emergence of chaos in a non-linear model derived from a semiquantum Hamiltonian describing the coupling between a classical field and a quantum system. The latter corresponds to a bosonic version of a BCS-like Hamiltonian,…
We prove that quantum many-body systems on a one-dimensional lattice locally relax to Gaussian states under non-equilibrium dynamics generated by a bosonic quadratic Hamiltonian. This is true for a large class of initial states - pure or…
Transport in Hamiltonian systems with weak chaotic perturbations has been much studied in the past. In this paper, we introduce a new class of problems: transport in Hamiltonian systems with slowly changing phase space structure that are…
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of a many-body bosonic system on a lattice, subject to driving and dissipation. The time-evolution is described by a master equation, which we treat within a generalized Gutzwiller mean field…
We present our study on the emergent states of two interacting nonlinear systems with differing dynamical time scales. We find that the inability of the interacting systems to fall in step leads to difference in phase as well as change in…
For short-range interacting systems, no Schr\"odinger cat state can be stable when their environment is in thermal equilibrium. We show, by studying a chain of two-level systems with nearest-neighbour Ising interactions, that this is…
We examine energy and particle exchange between finite-sized quantum systems and find a new form of nonequilibrium states. The exchange rate undergoes stepwise evolution in time, and its magnitude and sign dramatically change according to…
Motivated by studies of typical properties of quantum states in statistical mechanics, we introduce phase-random states, an ensemble of pure states with fixed amplitudes and uniformly distributed phases in a fixed basis. We first show that…
We introduce a lattice spin model that mimics a system of interacting particle through a short range repulsive potential and a long range attractive power law decaying potential. We performed a detailed analysis of the general equilibrium…
Quasi steady state assumptions are often used to simplify complex systems of ordinary differential equations in modelling of biochemical processes. The simplified system is designed to have the same qualitative properties as the original…
Considering any Hamiltonian, any initial state, and measurements with a small number of possible outcomes compared to the dimension, we show that most measurements are already equilibrated. To investigate non-trivial equilibration we…
Non-equilibrium time evolution in isolated many-body quantum systems generally results in thermalization. However, the relaxation process can be very slow, and quasi-stationary non-thermal plateaux are often observed at intermediate times.…
The paper is concerned with open quantum systems whose Heisenberg dynamics are described by quantum stochastic differential equations driven by external boson fields. The system-field coupling operators are assumed to be quadratic…
Ageing phenomena are observed in a large variety of dynamical systems exhibiting a slow relaxation from a non-equilibrium initial state. Ageing can be characterised in terms of the linear response R(t,s) at time t to a local perturbation at…
Violent relaxation is a process that occurs in systems with long-range interactions. It has the peculiar feature of dramatically amplifying small perturbations, and rather than driving the system to equilibrium it instead leads to slowly…
