We consider the distribution of the (properly normalized) numbers of nodal domains of wave functions in 2-$d$ quantum billiards. We show that these distributions distinguish clearly between systems with integrable (separable) or chaotic…

Various aspects of the statistics of work performed by an external classical force on a quantum mechanical system are elucidated for a driven harmonic oscillator. In this special case two parameters are introduced that are sufficient to…

We use the quantum work statistics to characterize the controlled dynamics governed by a counterdiabatic driving field. Focusing on the Shannon entropy of the work probability distribution, $P(W)$, we demonstrate that the thermodynamics of…

We study classical and quantum dynamics of a particle in a circular billiard with a straight cut. This system can be integrable, nonintegrable with soft chaos, or nonintegrable with hard chaos, as we vary the size of the cut. We use a…
