Charge transfer statistics of quantum particles is obtained by analysing the time evolution of the many-body wave function. Exploiting properly chosen gauge transformations, we construct the probabilities for transfers of a discrete number…

We provide a general framework to compute the probability distribution $F_r(t)$ of the first detection time of a 'state of interest' in a generic quantum system subjected to random projective measurements. In our 'quantum resetting'…

There are a wide range of first passage time (FPT) problems in the physical and life sciences that can be modelled in terms of a Brownian particle binding to a reactive surface (absorption). However, prior to absorption, the particle may…

Using standard results from statistics, we show that for any continuous quantum system (Gaussian or otherwise) and any observable $\widehat{A}$ (position or otherwise), the distribution $\pi_{a}\left(t\right)$ of time measurement at a fixed…

We demonstrate that the source to target mean first passage time (MFPT) is approximately given by the potential difference of an electrostatic problem which shows that the MFPT scales like the resistance between the target and a distant…

We consider the mean first passage time (MFPT) for a diffusive particle in a potential landscape with the extra condition that the particle is reset to its original position with some rate r. We study non-smooth and non-convex potentials…

Symmetry, including the parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)-symmetry, is a striking topic, widely discussed and employed in many fields. It is well-known that quantum measurement can destroy or disturb quantum systems. However, can and how does…

The time it takes the fastest searcher out of $N\gg1$ searchers to find a target determines the timescale of many physical, chemical, and biological processes. This time is called an extreme first passage time (FPT) and is typically much…
