We study the dynamics of a system comprising a single qubit interacting equally with $N$ qubits (a "spin star" system). Although this model can be solved exactly, the exact solution does not give much intuition for the dynamics of the…

A quantum system $\s$ interacts in a successive way with elements $\ee$ of a chain of identical independent quantum subsystems. Each interaction lasts for a duration $\tau$ and is governed by a fixed coupling between $\s$ and $\ee$. We show…

Many complex systems can spontaneously oscillate under non-periodic forcing. Such self-oscillators are commonplace in biological and technological assemblies where temporal periodicity is needed, such as the beating of a human heart or the…

This paper studies the energy decoherence of an interacting quantum system. It first reviews the experiments that motivated the postulates of quantum mechanics. It then discusses a decoherence that occurs dynamically in a closed system.…

A notion of monitored recurrence for discrete-time quantum processes was recently introduced in [Commun. Math. Phys., DOI 10.1007/s00220-012-1645-2] (see also arXiv:1202.3903) taking the initial state as an absorbing one. We extend this…
