We consider a variant of the classical Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph, where components with surplus are slowed down to prevent the apparition of complex components. The sizes of the components of this process undergo a similar phase…
In the field of quantum chaos, the study of energy levels plays an important role. The aim of this review paper is to critically discuss some of the main contributions regarding the connection between classical dynamics, semi-classical…
We present an analytic theory of quantum criticality in quasi one-dimensional topological Anderson insulators. We describe these systems in terms of two parameters $(g,\chi)$ representing localization and topological properties,…
In a recent publication [Phys. Rev. A 79, 065602 (2009)] it was shown that an avoided-crossing resonance can be defined in different ways, according to level-structural or dynamical aspects, which do not coincide in general. Here a simple…
We report a spin-(1/2, 5/2) three-leg ladder realized in a radical-Mn polymer, exhibiting an antiferromagnetic transition and magnetization curves accurately described by classical mean-field theory. Although the underlying spin model…
In a quantum revival, a localized wavepacket re-forms or "revives" into a compact reincarnation of itself long after it has spread in an unruly fashion over a region restricted only by the potential energy. This is a purely quantum…
At high level density, two states avoid usually crossing at the critical value $a_{\rm cr}$ of the parameter $a$ by which the system is controlled. The wavefunctions of the two states are mixed in a finite parameter range around $a_{\rm…
Programmable neutral-atom arrays provide a promising route to real-time analog simulation of strongly interacting quantum systems. We introduce a two leg Rydberg atom ladder that realizes string dynamics and controllable particle production…
We introduce a new approach to analyzing the interaction between classical and quantum systems that is based on a limiting procedure applied to multi-particle Schr\"{o}dinger equations. The limit equations obtained by this procedure, which…
We show that a simple approximation based on concepts underlying the Kibble-Zurek theory of second order phase transition dynamics can be used to treat avoided level crossing problems. The approach discussed in this paper provides an…
Anderson localization is a universal interference phenomenon occurring when a wave evolves through a random medium and it has been observed in a great variety of physical systems, either quantum or classical. The recently developed…
This paper serves as a bridge between quantum computing and analogical modeling (a general theory for predicting categories of behavior in varying contexts). Since its formulation in the early 1980s, analogical modeling has been…
Does electron transfer (ET) kinetics within a single-electron trajectory description always coincide with the ensemble description? This fundamental question of ergodic behavior is scrutinized within a very basic semi-classical…
A classical field theory is proposed for the electric current and the electromagnetic field interpolating between microscopic and macroscopic domains. It represents a generalization of the density functional for the dynamics of the current…
We propose a method to construct a classical analog of an open quantum system, namely a single quantum particle confined in a potential well and immersed in a thermal bath. The classical analog is made out of a collection of identical wells…
We studied complex spectra of spin-two boson systems represented by E$\otimes$e and E$\otimes (b_1+b_2)$ Jahn-Teller models. For E$\otimes$e, at particular rotation quantum numbers we found a coexistence of up to three regions of the…
Post-exponential decay of the probability density of a quantum particle leaving a trap can be reproduced accurately, except for interference oscillations at the transition to the post-exponential regime, by means of an ensemble of classical…
Coulomb blockade (CB) in a quantum dot (QD) with one anomalously broad level is considered. In this case many consecutive pronounced CB peaks correspond to occupation of one and the same broad level. Between the peaks the electron jumps…
The quantum-mechanical collapse (alias fall onto the center of particles attracted by potential -1/r^2), or "quantum anomaly", is a well-known issue in the quantum theory. We demonstrate that the mean-field repulsive nonlinearity prevents…
Chaotic tunneling in a driven double-well system is investigated in absence as well as in the presence of dissipation. As the constitutive mechanism of chaos-assisted tunneling, we focus on the dynamics in the vicinity of three-level…
