We study the signature of two-center interferences in molecular high-order harmonic spectra, with an emphasis on the spectral phase. With the help of both ab initio computations based on the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation and the…
We consider an infinite system of particles on the positive real line, initiated from a Poisson point process, which move according to Brownian motion up until the hitting time of a barrier. The barrier increases when it is hit, allowing…

Recent experiments on fermions in synthetic gauge fields result in systems with a spin-orbit coupling along one spatial axis, a detuning field, and a Zeeman field. We show theoretically that the presence of all three results in interesting…

The wormlike chain model of stiff polymers is a nonlinear $\sigma$-model in one spacetime dimension in which the ends are fluctuating freely. This causes important differences with respect to the presently available theory which exists only…

A known limitation of time-dependent mean-field approaches is a lack of quantum tunneling for collective motions such as in sub-barrier fusion reactions. As a first step toward a solution, a time-dependent model is considered using a…
Anderson localization, i.e., destructive quantum interference of multiple-scattering paths, halts transport entirely. Contrarily, time-dependent random forces expedite transport via Fermi acceleration, proposed as a mechanism for…
The excitation of the spin degrees of freedom of an adsorbed atom by tunneling electrons is computed using a strong coupling theory. The excitation process is shown to be a sudden switch between the initial state determined by the…
Quasi-static models of barrier suppression have played a major role in our understanding of the ionization of atoms and molecules in strong laser fields. Despite their success, in the case of diatomic molecules these studies have so far…
