All the laws of physics are time-reversible. Time arrow emerges only when ensembles of classical particles are treated probabilistically, outside of physics laws, and the entropy and the second law of thermodynamics are introduced. In…

We study the time it takes for all states of a finite quantum system to return simultaneously to their original configuration. In particular, we define the recurrence time for a quantum system to be the time at which all time-evolved states…

This paper is concerned with two questions in the decoherent histories approach to quantum mechanics: the emergence of approximate classical predictability, and the fluctuations about it necessitated by the uncertainty principle. We…

The issue of whether non-Markovianity (NM) could be considered as a resource in quantum information has been a subject of intense debate for the last years. Recently, a simple mechanism was proposed in which one of the main features of NM,…

The waiting time distribution has, in recent years, proven to be a useful statistical tool for characterising transport in nanoscale quantum transport. In particular, as opposed to moments of the distribution of transferred charge, which…

Special relativity combined with the stochastic vacuum flux impact model lead to an explicit interpretation of many of the phenomena of elementary quantum mechanics. We examine characteristics of a repetitively impacted submicroscopic…

Quantum physics, despite its observables being intrinsically of a probabilistic nature, does not have a quantum entropy assigned to them. We propose a quantum entropy that quantify the randomness of a pure quantum state via a conjugate pair…

Non-Markovian quantum effects are typically observed in systems interacting with structured reservoirs. Discrete-time quantum walks are prime example of such systems in which, quantum memory arises due to the controlled interaction between…

It is demonstrated that the probability density function, given by the square of a quantum mechanical wavefunction that is a real-valued eigenvector of a time-independent, one-body Schroedinger equation, satisfies a compressible-flow…

Neural quantum states (NQS) are a promising ansatz for solving many-body quantum problems due to their inherent expressiveness. Yet, this expressiveness can only be harnessed efficiently for treating identical particles if the suitable…

We consider the quantum first detection problem for a particle evolving on a graph under repeated projective measurements with fixed rate $1/\tau$. A general formula for the mean first detected transition time is obtained for a quantum walk…

We analyze recent approaches to quantum Markovianity and how they relate to the proper definition of quantum memory. We point out that the well-known criterion of information backflow may not correctly report character of the memory falsely…

We study the behavior of a quantum particle trapped in a confining potential in one dimension under multiple sudden changes of velocity and/or acceleration. We develop the appropriate formalism to deal with such situation and we use it to…
