In this paper, we study the reachability of two closely related matrices appearing in the analysis of linear time-varying (LTV) systems over a finite time interval, namely, its closed-loop state transition matrix via a state feedback…
The non-commutative nature of quantum mechanics imposes fundamental constraints on system dynamics, which, in the linear realm, are manifested through the physical realizability conditions on system matrices. These restrictions give system…
We prove the following converse of the passivity theorem. Consider a causal system given by a sum of a linear time-invariant and a passive linear time-varying input-output map. Then, in order to guarantee stability (in the sense of finite…
By considering a solvable driven-dissipative quantum model, we demonstrate that continuous second order phase transitions in dissipative systems may occur without an accompanying spontaneous symmetry breaking. As such, the underlying…

The inspiration for this theoretical paper comes from recent experiments on a PT-symmetric system of two coupled optical whispering galleries (optical resonators). The optical system can be modeled as a pair of coupled linear oscillators,…
Transition amplitudes between instantaneous eigenstates of quantum two-level system are evaluated analytically on the basis of a new parametrization of its evolution operator, which has recently been proposed to construct exact solutions.…
We consider a generic two-dimensional system of fermionic particles with attractive interactions and no disorder. If time-reversal symmetry is absent, it is possible to obtain incompressible insulating states in addition to the superfluid…
Recently, it has been suggested that operational properties connected to quantum computation can be alternative indicators of quantum phase transitions. In this work we systematically study these operational properties in 1D systems that…
Transition probabilities for a class of two level systems described by explicitly time dependent Hamiltonians are considered. Provided only that the approach to the infinite time limit is non-trivial falling at least as fast as 1/t for…
This paper proposes a new approach to describe the stability of linear time-invariant systems via the torsion $\tau(t)$ of the state trajectory. For a system $\dot{r}(t)=Ar(t)$ where $A$ is invertible, we show that (1) if there exists a…
A robust controller is developed for uncertain, second-order nonlinear systems subject to simultaneous unknown, time-varying state delays and known, time-varying input delays in addition to additive, sufficiently smooth disturbances. An…
We prove that for every discrete-time linear switching system in two complex variables and with finitely many switching states, either the system is Lyapunov stable or there exists a trajectory which escapes to infinity with at least linear…
Every transitive cellular automaton (CA) is sensitive to initial conditions. We study this implication in the more general context of non-uniform cellular automata (NUCA) with finitely many different local update rules assigned to cells. We…
Time-invariant finite-dimensional systems, under reasonable continuity assumptions, exhibit the property that if solutions exist for all future times, the set of vectors reachable from a bounded set of initial conditions over bounded time…
We apply the method of transitionless quantum driving for time-dependent quantum systems to spin systems. For a given Hamiltonian, the driving Hamiltonian is constructed so that the adiabatic states of the original system obey the…
A general separability condition on the second moment (covariance matrix) for continuous variable two-party systems is derived by an analysis analogous to the derivation of the Kennard's uncertainty relation without referring to the…
This paper provides a new unified framework for second-moment stability of discrete-time linear systems with stochastic dynamics. Relations of notions of second-moment stability are studied for the systems with general stochastic dynamics,…
We investigate absorption, i.e., almost sure convergence to an absorbing state, in time-varying (non-homogeneous) discrete-time Markov chains with finite state space. We consider systems that can switch among a finite set of transition…
