The Wigner-Smith (WS) time delay matrix relates an acoustic system's scattering matrix to its wavenumber derivative. The entries of the WS time delay matrix can be expressed in terms of energy density-like volume integrals, which cannot be…
The distribution of scattering delay times is analyzed for classical electrons which are transmitted through a finite waveguide. For non-zero magnetic field the distribution shows a regular pattern of maxima (logarithmic singularities).…
We study by means of time-dependent numerical simulations the behavior of the entanglement stemming from the Coulomb scattering between two charged particles subject to a pulse of sinusoidal potential. We show that the splitting of the…
The discovery of topological insulators has opened new prospects for robust signal transport for electronic, phononic, and photonic devices. Though transport of topological protected edge states is robust to disorder, large fluctuations and…
In this paper, we analyze a semilinear damped second order evolution equation with time-dependent time delay and time-dependent delay feedback coefficient. The nonlinear term satisfies a local Lipschitz continuity assumption. Under…
We consider reflection and transmission of 2D quantum wavepackets with phase vortices (also known in optics as spatiotemporal vortex pulses) at potential step-like, delta-function, and rectangular barriers. The presence of a vortex…
Diffusion of electrons in a two-dimensional system with time-dependent random potentials is investigated numerically. In the absence of spin-orbit scattering, the conductivity shows universal weak localization correction. In the presence of…

Unconstrained partial-wave amplitudes obtained at discrete energies from fits to complete sets of experimental data may not vary smoothly with energy, and are in principle non-unique. We demonstrate how this behavior can be ascribed to the…
We investigate an angular dependence of the photoemission time delay in helium as measured by the RABBITT (Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating By Interference of Two-photon Transitions) technique. The measured time delay $…
We performed dynamic pressure buckling experiments on defect-seeded spherical shells made of a common silicone elastomer. Unlike in quasi-static experiments, shells buckled at ostensibly subcritical pressures (i.e. below the…
Plane-wave electrons undergo momentum transfer as they scatter off a target in overlapping spherical waves. The transferred momentum leads to target structural information to be encoded in angle and energy differential scattering. For…
We report on an extensive study of the elastic scattering time $\tauS$ of matter-waves in optical disordered potentials. Using direct experimental measurements, numerical simulations and comparison with first-order Born approximation based…
A clear consensus on how long it takes a particle to tunnel through a potential barrier has never been so urgently required, since the electron dynamics in strong-field ionization can be resolved on attosecond time-scale in experiment and…
Time-resolved ultrafast x-ray scattering is an emerging approach to probe the temporally evolving electronic charge distribution in real-space and in real-time. In this contribution, time-resolved ultrafast x-ray scattering from an…
Temporal disorder-random temporal fluctuations of material parameters-has recently emerged as an effective tool for controlling wave propagation, analogous to Anderson localization in spatially disordered systems. Here, we theoretically…
We consider a fully quantized model of spontaneous emission, scattering, and absorption, and study propagation of a single photon from an emitting atom to a detector atom both with and without an intervening scatterer. We find an exact…
Motivated by a recent tunneling experiment in a double quantum-well system, which reports an anomalously enhanced electronic scattering rate in a clean two-dimensional electron gas, we calculate the inelastic quasiparticle lifetime due to…
We report elastic scattering theory for surface electron waves in quantum corrals defined by adatoms on the surface of noble metals. We develop a scattering-matrix technique that allows us to account for a realistic smooth potential profile…
