This undergraduate thesis is concerned with developing the tools of differential geometry and semiclassical analysis needed to understand the the quantum ergodicity theorem of Schnirelman (1974), Zelditch (1987), and Colin de Verdi\`ere…
We present an approach to quantum dynamical lower bounds for discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators which is based on power-law bounds on transfer matrices. It suffices to have such bounds for a nonempty set of energies. We apply…
We study the semiclassical behaviour of eigenfunctions of quantum systems with ergodic classical limit. By the quantum ergodicity theorem almost all of these eigenfunctions become equidistributed in a weak sense. We give a simple derivation…
We employ Weyl's method and Vinogradov's method to analyze skew-shift dynamics on semi-algebraic sets. Consequently, we improve the quantum dynamical upper bounds of Jitomirskaya-Powell, Liu, and Shamis-Sodin for long-range operators with…
For a class of discrete quasi-periodic Schroedinger operators defined by covariant re- presentations of the rotation algebra, a lower bound on phase-averaged transport in terms of the multifractal dimensions of the density of states is…
It is remarkable that Heisenberg's position-momentum uncertainty relation leads to the existence of a maximal acceleration for a physical particle in the context of a geometric reformulation of quantum mechanics. It is also known that the…
We develop further the approach to upper and lower bounds in quantum dynamics via complex analysis methods which was introduced by us in a sequence of earlier papers. Here we derive upper bounds for non-time averaged outside probabilities…
We prove ballistic transport of all orders, that is, $\lVert x^m\mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{i}tH}\psi\rVert\asymp t^m$, for the following models: the adjacency matrix on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, the Laplace operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$, periodic…
We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with Sturmian potentials and study the transport exponents associated with them. Under suitable assumptions on the frequency, we establish upper and lower bounds for the upper transport…
We consider transport exponents associated with the dynamics of a wavepacket in a discrete one-dimensional quantum system and develop a general method for proving upper bounds for these exponents in terms of the norms of transfer matrices…
We investigate the transport of energy, magnetization, etc. in several finite one-dimensional (1D) quantum systems only by solving the corresponding time-dependent Schroedinger equation. We explicitly renounce on any other…
In this paper we study the semiclassical limit of the Schr\"odinger equation. Under mild regularity assumptions on the potential $U$ which include Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surfaces in molecular dynamics, we establish asymptotic…
We put forth a notion of optimality for extracting ergotropic work, derived from an energy constraint governing the necessary dynamics for work extraction in a quantum system. Within the traditional ergotropy framework, which predicts an…
We consider discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by sampling along the orbits of a general hyperbolic transformation. Specifically, we show that if the sampling function is a non-constant H\"older…
We have developed a Green's function formalism based on the use of an overcomplete semicoherent basis of vortex states, specially devoted to the study of the Hamiltonian quantum dynamics of electrons at high magnetic fields and in an…
We prove under certain assumptions that there exists a solution of the Schrodinger or the Heisenberg equation of motion generated by a linear operator H acting in some complex Hilbert space H, which may be unbounded, not symmetric, or not…
We study discrete quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\ell^2(\zee)$ with potentials defined by $\gamma$-H\"older functions. We prove a general statement that for $\gamma >1/2$ and under the condition of positive Lyapunov exponents,…
Operators with zero dimensional spectral measures appear naturally in the theory of ergodic Schr\"odinger operators. We develop the concept of a complete family of Hausdorff measure functions in order to analyze and distinguish between…
