We study the heat transport due to phonons in nanomechanical structures using a phase space representation of non-equilibrium Green's functions. This representation accounts for the atomic degrees of freedom making it particularly suited…
Vibrational spectra and normal modes of mechanically stable particle packings in three dimensions are analyzed over a range of compressions, from near the jamming transition, where the packings lose their rigidity, to far above it. At high…

We propose a general framework that unifies the point of view of counting statistics of transmitted (fermionic) charges as it is commonly used in the quantum transport community to the point of view of counting statics of phonons (bosons)…
Glasses show vibrational properties that are markedly different to those of crystals which are known as phonons. For example, excess low-frequency modes (the so-called boson peak), vibrational localization, and strong scattering of phonons…
We study a dilute gas with two species of Fermionic atoms of unequal concentrations, interacting via a short-range interaction with one deeply bound state. We study the properties of this system under the mean-field approximation. We obtain…
We study excitations of atomic vibrations in the reciprocal space for amorphous solids. There are two kinds of excitations we obtained, collective excitation and local excitation. The collective excitation is the collective vibration of…
A realistic one-dimensional system has not only longitudinal phonons, but also possible transverse modes, which derive their restoring force from longitudinal interaction. We show that transverse motion results in a quartic displacement…
Driven-dissipative dynamics underlie a wide range of nonequilibrium phenomena in quantum materials, yet reduced descriptions beyond the quasi-equilibrium picture remain difficult to establish. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that a…
Ion diffusion is important in a variety of applications, yet fundamental understanding of the diffusive process in solids is still missing, especially considering the interaction of lattice vibrations (phonons) and the mobile species. In…
A new method of obtaining the interaction Hamiltonian of phonons at superfluid helium-solid interface is proposed in the work. Equations of hydrodynamic variables are obtained in terms of second quantization if helium occupies a half-space.…

Polymorphic solids of the same chemical composition can have different atomic structures; in each polymorph atoms vibrate around a local potential energy minimum (LPEM). If transformations to other structures have sufficiently high enthalpy…
The dynamics of vortices in a superfluid film at the absolute zero of temperature is studied. The quantum-mechanical, i.e., ``first-quantized'' description is compared to a recently proposed quantum-field-theoretic, i.e.,…
In this paper we consider the dynamics of harmonically-confined atomic gases. We present various general results which are independent of particle statistics, interatomic interactions and dimensionality. Of particular interest is the…
We theoretically analyze interference patterns of parametrically driven one dimensional ultracold atomic gases. By modulating the interaction strength periodically in time, we propose to excite collective modes in a pair of independent one…

We show that quasi localized low-frequency modes in the vibrational spectrum can be used to construct soft spots, or regions vulnerable to rearrangement, which serve as a universal tool for the identification of flow defects in solids. We…
We study normal modes propagating on top of the stable uniform background in arrays of dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) droplets trapped in a deep optical lattice. Both the on-site mean-field dynamics of the droplets and their…
