We study the thermal transport properties of general conformal field theories (CFTs) on curved spacetimes in the leading order viscous hydrodynamic limit. At the level of linear response, we show that the thermal transport is governed by a…
We apply the method of flow equations to describe quantum systems subject to a time-periodic drive with a time-dependent envelope. The driven Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of its constituent Fourier harmonics with amplitudes that may…
The dynamics of a quantum mechanical particle in a time-independent potential are found to contain many interesting phenomena. These are direct consequences of the (typical) existence of more than one time scale governing the problem. This…

The notion of the Planckian dissipation is extended to the system of the Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon discrete energy levels in the vortex core of superconductors and fermionic superfluids. In this extension, the Planck dissipation takes place…
We show that, contrary to the statements made by many authors, the backflow is not a nonclassical effect. The backflow is a characteristic feature of solutions of the wave equations: quantum and classical. We present simple solutions of the…
Starting from the Caldeira-Leggett (CL) model, we derive the equation describing the Quantum Brownian motion, which has been originally proposed by Dekker purely from phenomenological basis containing extra anomalous diffusion terms.…
We consider the effects of strong dissipation in quantum systems with a notion of locality, which induces a hierarchy of many-body relaxation timescales as shown in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 100604 (2020)]. If the strength of the dissipation…
A completely positive master equation describing quantum dissipation for a Brownian particle is derived starting from microphysical collisions, exploiting a recently introduced approach to subdynamics of a macrosystem. The obtained equation…
Quantum dissipation is studied for a discrete system that linearly interacts with a reservoir of harmonic oscillators at thermal equilibrium. Initial correlations between system and reservoir are assumed to be absent. The dissipative…
The interaction between an atom and the quantized electromagnetic field depends on the position of the atom. Then the atom experiences a force which is the minus gradient of this interaction. Through the Heisenberg equations of motion and…
The macroscopic hydrodynamic equations are derived for many-body systems in the local-equilibrium approach, using the Schr\"odinger picture of quantum mechanics. In this approach, statistical operators are defined in terms of microscopic…
This work considers a compressible, viscous, heat-conducting fluid exhibiting thermal relaxation according to Christov's constitutive heat transfer law (C. I. Christov, Mech. Research Comm. 36 (2009)), which is of Cattaneo type. The…
The quantum dynamics of two-level systems under classical oscillator heat bath is mapped to the classical one of a charged particle under harmonic oscillator potential plus a magnetic field in a plane. The behavior of eigenstates and…
Both in atomic physics and in mesoscopic physics it is sometimes interesting to consider the energy time-dependence of a parametrically-driven chaotic system. We assume an Hamiltonian ${\cal H}(Q,P;x(t))$ where $x(t)=Vt$. The velocity $V$…

Quantum mechanics introduces the possibility for particles to move in a direction opposite to their momentum -- a counter-intuitive and classically impossible phenomenon known as quantum backflow. The magnitude of this effect is relatively…
