From a geometric perspective, the caustic is the most classical description of a wavefunction since its evolution is governed by the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. On the other hand, according to the Madelung-de Broglie-Bohm equations, the most…

In the large-$N$, classical limit, the Bose-Hubbard dimer undergoes a transition to chaos when its tunnelling rate is modulated in time. We use exact and approximate numerical simulations to determine the features of the dynamically…
We present a detailed theory of spectacular semiclassical catastrophes happening during the time evolution of a kicked quantum rotor (Phys.Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 163601 (2001)). Both two- and three-dimensional rotational systems are analyzed.…

We show that a quantum dynamical localization effect can be observed in a generic thermalization process of two weakly-coupled chaotic subsystems. Specifically, our model consists of the minimal experimentally relevant subsystems that…
In this study, we investigate the dynamics of the quantum kicked rotor in the near-resonant regime and observe distinct caustic structures, such as recurring cusps, cusp oscillations, and reticular cusp patterns in high-order resonant…

Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) represent a weak ergodicity-breaking phenomenon that defies the common scenario of thermalization in closed quantum systems. They are often regarded as a many-body analog of quantum scars (QS) -- a…
Dynamical properties of classical chaotic systems, for instance relaxation, can be understood as emerging from the time evolution of initially smooth long-wavelength densities to ever finer short-wavelength densities with fractal structure.…

Networks of caustics can occur in the distribution of particles suspended in a randomly moving gas. These can facilitate coagulation of particles by bringing them into close proximity, even in cases where the trajectories do not coalesce.…
We study the energy redistribution of interacting bosons in a ring-shaped quantum trimer as the coupling strength between neighboring sites of the corresponding Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian undergoes a sudden change dk. Our analysis is based on…
We study the dynamics of a "kicked" quantum system undergoing repeated measurements of momentum. A diffusive behavior is obtained for a large class of Hamiltonians, even when the dynamics of the classical counterpart is not chaotic. These…

The physics of many closed, conservative systems can be described by both classical and quantum theories. The dynamics according to classical theory is symplectic and admits linear instabilities which would initially seem at odds with a…
