We study the interplay between regular and chaotic dynamics at the critical point of a generic first-order quantum phase transition in an interacting boson model of nuclei. A classical analysis reveals a distinct behavior of the coexisting…

Transport phenomena in spatially periodic systems far from thermal equilibrium are considered. The main emphasize is put on directed transport in so-called Brownian motors (ratchets), i.e. a dissipative dynamics in the presence of thermal…

Dynamical chaos has recently been shown to exist in the Gaussian approximation in quantum mechanics and in the self-consistent mean field approach to studying the dynamics of quantum fields. In this study, we first show that any variational…

Owing to the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation for Markovian dynamics,any equilibrium trajectory of a Brownian particle in a solvent fluid can be viewed as the superposition of an uncountable number of non-equilibrium states. This property…

In the chaotic quantization approach one replaces the Gaussian white noise of the Parisi-Wu approach of stochastic quantization by a deterministic chaotic process on a very small scale. We consider suitable coupled chaotic noise processes…

A Langevin equation is proposed to describe the transport of overdamped Brownian particles in a periodic rough potential and driven by an unbiased periodic force. The equation can be transformed into the Fokker-Planck equation by using the…
