The classical Langevin dynamics of a particle in a periodic potential energy landscape are studied via the intermediate scattering function (ISF). By construction, the particle performs coupled vibrational and activated jump motion with a…
When a particle diffuses in a medium with spatially dependent friction coefficient $\alpha(r)$ at constant temperature $T$, it drifts toward the low friction end of the system even in the absence of any real physical force $f$. This…
Infrared (IR) divergences arise in scattering theory with massless fields and are manifestations of the memory effect. There is nothing singular about states with memory, but they do not lie in the standard Fock space. IR divergences are…
Experiments creating extreme states of matter almost invariably create non-equilibrium states. These are very interesting in their own right but need to be understood even if the ultimate goal is to probe high-pressure or high-temperature…
We expand on a recent study of a lattice model of interacting particles [Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 110601 (2013)]. The adsorption isotherm and equilibrium fluctuations in particle number are discussed as a function of the interaction. Their…

Macroscopic parameters as well as precise information on the random force characterizing the Langevin type description of the nuclear fusion process around the Coulomb barrier are extracted from the microscopic dynamics of individual…
Features of the turbulent cascade are investigated for various datasets from three different turbulent flows. The analysis is focused on the question as to whether developed turbulent flows show universal small scale features. To answer…
It is quite clear from a wide range of experiments that gating phenomena of ion channels is inherently stochastic. It has been discussed using BD simulations in a recent paper that memory effects in ion transport is negligible, unless the…
Employing the stochastic mean-field (SMF) approach, we develop a quantal diffusion description of the multi-nucleon transfer in heavy-ion collisions at finite impact parameters. The quantal transport coefficients are determined by the…
In surface diffusion, one of the key observables is the so-called intermediate scattering function which is measured directly from the surface technique called Helium spin echo. In this work, we show that this function can be seen as a…
The recently-developed non-equilibrium extension of the self-consistent generalized Langevin equation theory of irreversible relaxation [Phys. Rev. E (2010) 82, 061503; ibid. 061504] is applied to the description of the irreversible process…
We address the challenge of incorporating non-Markovian electronic friction effects in quantum-mechanical approximations of dynamical observables. A generalized Langevin equation (GLE) is formulated for ring-polymer molecular dynamics…
The reduced dynamics of a quantum system interacting with a linear heat bath finds an exact representation in terms of a stochastic Schr{\"o}dinger equation. All memory effects of the reservoir are transformed into noise correlations and…
We show that the intermediate scattering function $S_n(q,t)$ for neutron scattering (ns) can be expanded naturely with respect to a set of molecular correlation functions that give a complete description of the translational and…
We investigate the prompt emission of few intermediate-mass fragments in spallation reactions induced by protons and deuterons in the 1 GeV range. Such emission has a minor contribution to the total reaction cross section, but it may…
Fluctuation theorems are key to understanding both fundamental and applied aspects of non-equilibrium thermodynamics of small systems. We study the non-Markovian entropy production fluctuation theorem for the diffusion process of charged…
A damped oscillator heat bath model is a modification of the standard heat bath model, wherein each bath oscillator itself has a Markovian coupling to its own heat bath [1]. We modify such a model to one where the resulting damping of the…
Non-Markovian dynamics is studied for two interacting quibts strongly coupled to a dissipative bosonic environment. For the first time, we have derived the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation for the coupled two-qubit…
The presence of pairing correlations within the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) extension to superfluid systems, is tantamount to the presence of a quantum collision integral in the evolution equations, which leads to an…
