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…

Quantum graphs are defined by having a Laplacian defined on the edges of a metric graph with boundary conditions on each vertex such that the resulting operator, $\mathbf{L}$, is self-adjoint. We use Neumann boundary conditions although we…

Let $(G_\epsilon)_{\epsilon>0}$ be a family of '$\epsilon$-thin' Riemannian manifolds modeled on a finite metric graph $G$, for example, the $\epsilon$-neighborhood of an embedding of $G$ in some Euclidean space with straight edges. We…

In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of…

Consider two quantum graphs with the standard Laplace operator and non-Robin type boundary conditions at all vertices. We show that if their eigenvalue-spectra agree everywhere aside from a sufficiently sparse set, then the…

Non-equilibrium steady states of quantum fields on star graphs are explicitly constructed. These states are parametrized by the temperature and the chemical potential, associated with each edge of the graph. Time reversal invariance is…

We prove that the eigenfunctions of quantum star graphs exhibit multifractal self-similar structure in certain specified circumstances. In the semiclassical regime, when the spectral parameter and the number of vertices tend to infinity, we…
