The measurement problem of quantum mechanics concerns the question under which circumstances coherent wave evolution becomes disrupted to produce eigenstates of observables, instead of evolving superpositions of eigenstates. The problem…
We investigate the evolution of a particle in a Lorentz gas where the background scatters move and collide with each other. As in the standard Lorentz gas, we assume that the particle is negligibly light in comparison with scatters. We show…
Self-affine morphology of random interfaces governs their functionalities across tribological, geological, (opto-)electrical and biological applications. However, the knowledge of how energy carriers or generally classical/quantum waves…
Collective coherent scattering of laser light by an ensemble of polarizable point particles creates long range interactions, whose properties can be tailored by choice of injected laser powers, frequencies and polarizations. We use a…

We prove the invariance principle for a \emph{random Lorentz-gas} particle in 3 dimensions under the Boltzmann-Grad limit and simultaneous diffusive scaling. That is, for the trajectory of a point-like particle moving among infinite-mass,…
We use scattering theoretic methods to prove strong dynamical and exponential localization for one dimensional, continuum, Anderson-type models with singular distributions; in particular the case of a Bernoulli distribution is covered. The…
We model the 2-probe conductance of a quantum point contact (QPC), in linear response. If the QPC is highly non-adiabatic or near to scatterers in the open reservoir regions, then the usual distinction between leads and reservoirs breaks…
We develop a new approach for the Anderson localization problem. The implementation of this method yields strong numerical evidence leading to a (surprising to many) conjecture: The two dimensional discrete random Schroedinger operator with…
We present a general formalism describing a propagation of an arbitrary multiparticle wave packet in a one-dimensional multimode chiral channel coupled to an ensemble of emitters which are distributed at arbitrary positions. The formalism…
We study the dynamics of a particle in continuous time and space, the displacement of which is governed by an internal degree of freedom (spin). In one definite limit, the so-called quantum random walk is recovered but, although quite…
A systematic theory of the conductance measurements of non-invasive (weak probe) scanning gate microscopy is presented that provides an interpretation of what precisely is being measured. A scattering approach is used to derive explicit…
We demonstrate spontaneous bidirectional motion of droplets on liquid infused surfaces in the presence of a topographical gradient, in which the droplets can move either toward the denser or the sparser solid fraction area. Our analytical…
Motion of test particles in the gravitational field associated with an electromagnetic plane wave is investigated. The interaction with the radiation field is modeled by a force term {\it \`a la} Poynting-Robertson entering the equations of…
We study quantum percolation which is described by a tight-binding Hamiltonian containing only off-diagonal hopping terms that are generally in quenched binary disorder (zero or one). In such a system, transmission of a quantum particle is…
In this paper, we use a straightforward numerical method to solve scattering models in one-dimensional lattices based on a tight-binding band structure. We do this by using the wave packet approach to scattering, which presents a more…
The dynamics of a point charged particle which is driven by a uniform external electric field and moves in a medium of elastic scatterers is investigated. Using rudimentary approaches, we reproduce, in one dimension, the known results that…
We carefully revisit the electron-boson scattering problem, going beyond popular semi-classical treatments. By providing numerically exact results valid at finite temperatures, we demonstrate the existence of a regime of electron-boson…
The phenomenon of Anderson localization of waves in elastic systems is studied. We analyze this phenomenon in two different set of systems: disordered linear chains of harmonic oscillators and disordered rods which oscillate with torsional…
