We investigate quantum dynamics of a quantum walker on a finite bipartite non-Hermitian lattice, in which the particle can leak out with certain rate whenever it visits one of the two sublattices. Quantum walker initially located on one of…
Two particles can exert forces on each other when embedded in a sea of weakly-coupled particles. These "wake forces'' occur whenever the source and target particles have quadratic interactions with the mediating particles; they are…

We study the atom-light interaction in the fully quantum regime, with focus on off-resonant light scattering into a cavity from ultracold atoms trapped in an optical lattice. The detection of photons allows the quantum nondemolition (QND)…
We analyze the interference pattern produced by ultracold atoms released from an optical lattice. Such interference patterns are commonly interpreted as the momentum distributions of the trapped quantum gas. We show that for finite…
Linear water wave theory suggests that wave patterns caused by a steadily moving disturbance are contained within a wedge whose half-angle depends on the depth-based Froude number $F_H$. For the problem of flow past an axisymmetric pressure…
We study dynamics of fermions loaded in an optical lattice with a superimposed parabolic trap potential. In the recent Hamburg experiments [J.Heinze et.al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 085302 (2013)] on quantum simulation of photoconductivity, a…

Noise in a quantum system is fundamentally governed by the statistics and the many-body state of the underlying particles. Whereas for bosonic particles the correlated noise observed for e.g. photons or bosonic neutral atoms can still be…
A mixture of ultracold bosons and fermions placed in an optical lattice constitutes a novel kind of quantum gas, and leads to phenomena, which so far have been discussed neither in atomic physics, nor in condensed matter physics. We discuss…
Diagonal or chevron patterns are known to spontaneously emerge at the intersection of two perpendicular flows of self-propelled particles, e.g. pedestrians. The instability responsible for this pattern formation has been studied in previous…
The interference patterns of ultracold atoms, observed after ballistic expansion from optical lattices, encode essential information about strongly correlated lattice systems, including phase coherence and non-local correlations. While the…
We study the two-band effects on ultracold fermionic atoms in optical lattices by means of dynamical mean-field theory. We find that at half-filling the atomic-density-wave (ADW) state emerges owing to the two-band effects in the attractive…

We study two-dimensional materials where electrons are coupled to the vacuum electromagnetic field of a cavity. We show that, at the onset of the superradiant phase transition towards a macroscopic photon occupation of the cavity, the…
