Providing finite-time probabilistic safety and reach-avoid guarantees is crucial for safety-critical stochastic systems. Existing state-of-the-art barrier methods often rely on a restrictive boundedness assumption for auxiliary functions,…
We study the recovery of one-dimensional semipermeable barriers for a stochastic process in a planar domain. The considered process acts like Brownian motion when away from the barriers and is reflected upon contact until a sufficient but…
In the context of irreversible dynamics, associating to a physical process its intuitive reverse can result to be a quite ambiguous task. It is a standard choice to define the reverse process using Bayes' theorem, but, in general, this…
We study numerically and analytically isolated interacting quantum systems that are taken out of equilibrium instantaneously (quenched). The probability of finding the initial state in time, the so-called fidelity, decays fastest for…
We want to understand how relaxation process from an initial non-generic state proceeds towards a long-time typical state reached under unitary quantum evolution. One would expect that after some initial correlation time relaxation will be…
Random circuit models often describe local dynamics using generic two-qubit gates, which have proven successful in capturing entanglement growth and operator spreading in many contexts. This approach naturally leads to the expectation that…
The first passage time for a single diffusing particle has been studied extensively, but the first passage time of a system of many diffusing particles, as is often the case in physical systems, has received little attention until recently.…
Even after decades of research the problem of first passage time statistics for quantum dynamics remains a challenging topic of fundamental and practical importance. Using a projective measurement approach, with a sampling time $\tau$, we…
We studied the quantum state transfer in randomly coupled spin chains. By using local memories storing the information and dividing the task into transfer portion and decoding portion, conclusive transfer was ingeniously achieved with just…
Geometric phases and information flows of a two-level system coupled to its environment are calculated and analyzed. The information flow is defined as a cumulant of changes in trace distance between two quantum states, which is similar to…
Simple time-reversible systems can generate {\it irreversible} flows satisfying the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Maps, and equivalent random walks, can also do this. We study a pair of time-reversible Baker Maps, $N2$ and $N3$, which…
The structure of the initial system-environment state is fundamental to determining the nature and characteristics of the evolution of such an open quantum system. The usual assumption is to consider that the initial system-environment…
The rigid to floppy transitions and the associated intermediate phase in glasses are studied in the case where the local structure is not fully determined from the macroscopic concentration. The approach uses size increasing cluster…
We study the dynamics of one and two dimensional disordered lattice bosons/fermions initialized to a Fock state with a pattern of $1$ and $0$ particles on $A$ and ${\bar A}$ sites. For non-interacting systems we establish a universal…
We consider a finite state discrete time process X. Without loss of generality the finite state space can be identified with the set of unit vectors {e1, e2, . . . , eN} with ei = (0, . . . , 0, 1, 0, . . . , 0)0 2 RN. For a Markov chain…
The presence of temporal correlations in random movement trajectories is a widespread phenomenon across biological, chemical and physical systems. The ubiquity of persistent and anti-persistent motion in many natural and synthetic systems…
We present a study of the phase diagram of a random optimization problem in presence of quantum fluctuations. Our main result is the characterization of the nature of the phase transition, which we find to be a first-order quantum phase…
We consider "bridges" for the simple exclusion process on Z, either symmetric or asymmetric, in which particles jump to the right at rate p and to the left at rate 1-p. The initial state O has all negative sites occupied and all…
How long a stochastic process survives before leaving a domain depends not only on its intrinsic dynamics but also on how it is observed. Classical first-passage theory assumes continuous monitoring with absorbing boundaries…
In this work we present results about the rate of (relative) information loss induced by passing a real-valued, stationary stochastic process through a memoryless system. We show that for a special class of systems the information loss rate…
