Within the broad theme of understanding the dynamics of disordered quantum many-body systems, one of the simplest questions one can ask is: given an initial state, how does it evolve in time on the associated Fock-space graph, in terms of…

We study the transport properties of nonautonomous chaotic dynamical systems over a finite time duration. We are particularly interested in those regions that remain coherent and relatively non-dispersive over finite periods of time,…
