The problem of electron--electron lifetime in a quantum dot is studied beyond perturbation theory by mapping it onto the problem of localization in the Fock space. We identify two regimes, localized and delocalized, corresponding to…
We analytically describe the decay to equilibrium of generic observables of a non-integrable system after a perturbation in the form of a random matrix. We further obtain an analytic form for the time-averaged fluctuations of an observable…
The emergence of quantum chaos for interacting Fermi systems is investigated by numerical calculation of the level spacing distribution $P(s)$ as function of interaction strength $U$ and the excitation energy $\epsilon$ above the Fermi…
Though the classical treatment of spontaneous decay leads to an exponential decay law, it is well known that this is an approximation of the quantum mechanical result which is a non-exponential at very small and large times for narrow…
It was recently proven [Hilhorst, JSTAT, P10023 (2010)] that the q-generalization of the Fourier transform is not invertible in the full space of probability density functions for q > 1. It has also been recently shown that this…
We derive a generalization of the Wiener-Khinchin theorem for nonstationary processes by introducing a time-dependent spectral density that is related to the time-averaged power. We use the nonstationary theorem to investigate aging…
We consider neutrino oscillations in non-uniform matter in a quantum field theoretic (QFT) approach, in which neutrino production, propagation and detection are considered as a single process. We find the conditions under which the…
Weak limits as the density tends to infinity of classical ground states of integrable pair potentials are shown to minimize the mean-field energy functional. By studying the latter we derive global properties of high-density ground state…
The complex Fourier transform of the two-point correlator of the energy spectrum of a quantum system is known as the spectral form factor (SFF). It constitutes an essential diagnostic tool for phases of matter and quantum chaos. In black…
In this work the asymptotic properties of $Q_t(N)$ ,the probability of the number of renewals ($N$), that occur during time $t$ are explored. While the forms of the distribution at very long times, i.e. $t\to\infty$, are very well known and…
Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory is mathematically formulated through non-linear coupled time-dependent 3-dimensional partial differential equations and it is natural to expect a strong sensitivity of its solutions to variations of…
Previously derived expressions for the characteristic function of work performed on a quantum system by a classical external force are generalized to arbitrary initial states of the considered system and to Hamiltonians with degenerate…
We present a comprehensive investigation of quantum oscillations (QOs) in the strongly-correlated Falicov-Kimball model (FKM). The FKM is a particularly suitable platform for probing the non-Fermi liquid state devoid of quasiparticles,…
Established populations often exhibit oscillations in their sizes. If a population is isolated, intrinsic stochasticity of elemental processes can ultimately bring it to extinction. Here we study extinction of oscillating populations in a…
The main result of this paper is, that if we suppose that a function is absolutely continuous and uniformly H\"older continuous and that its finite difference function does not oscillate infinitely often on a bounded interval, then 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…
The most irreducible way to represent information is a sequence of two symbols. In this paper, we construct quantum states using this basic building block. Specifically, we show that the probabilities that arise in quantum theory can be…
Hyperuniformity is a property of certain heteroneous media in which density fluctuations in the long wavelength range decay to zero. In reciprocal space this behavior translates into a decay of Fourier intensities in the range near small…
For chaotic systems there is a theory for the decay of the survival probability, and for the parametric dependence of the local density of states. This theory leads to the distinction between "perturbative" and "non-perturbative" regimes,…
We study the long-time behavior of the probability density Q_t of the first exit time from a bounded interval [-L,L] for a stochastic non-Markovian process h(t) describing fluctuations at a given point of a two-dimensional, infinite in both…
