Quantum graphs are commonly used as models of complex quantum systems, for example molecules, networks of wires, and states of condensed matter. We consider quantum statistics for indistinguishable spinless particles on a graph,…
A finite discrete graph is turned into a quantum (metric) graph once a finite length is assigned to each edge and the one-dimensional Laplacian is taken to be the operator. We study the dependence of the spectral gap (the first positive…

We investigate the spectral properties of chaotic quantum graphs. We demonstrate that the `energy'--average over the spectrum of individual graphs can be traded for the functional average over a supersymmetric non--linear $\sigma$--model…

We study Schr\"odinger operators given by positive quadratic forms on infinite graphs. From there, we develop a criticality theory for Schr\"odinger operators on general weighted graphs.
This work explores the spectra of quantum graphs where the Schr\"odinger operator on the edges is equipped with a potential. The scattering approach, which was originally introduced for the potential free case, is extended to this case and…

I study the Schroedinger operator with the strong magnetic field, considering links between geometry of magnetic field, classical and quantum dynamics associated with operator and spectral asymptotics.
Quantum graphs have attracted attention from mathematicians for some time. A quantum graph is defined by having a Laplacian on each edge of a metric graph and imposing boundary conditions at the vertices to get an eigenvalue problem. A…
A continuous-time quantum walk on a dynamic graph evolves by Schr\"odinger's equation with a sequence of Hamiltonians encoding the edges of the graph. This process is universal for quantum computing, but in general, the dynamic graph that…
We consider a class of simple quasi one-dimensional classically non-integrable systems which capture the essence of the periodic orbit structure of general hyperbolic nonintegrable dynamical systems. Their behavior is simple enough to allow…
Quantum graphity is a background independent model for emergent geometry, in which space is represented as a complete graph. The high-energy pre-geometric starting point of the model is usually considered to be the complete graph, however…
