Most galaxies have a warped shape when they are seen from an edge-on point of view. The reason for this curious form is not completely known so far and in this work we apply dynamical system tools to contribute to its explanation. Starting…

We study resonance patterns of a spiral-shaped dielectric microcavity with chaotic ray dynamics. Many resonance patterns of this microcavity, with refractive indices $n=2$ and 3, exhibit strong localization of simple geometric shape, and we…

The concept of quantum many-body scars has recently been put forward as a route to describe weak ergodicity breaking and violation of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis. We propose a simple setup to generate quantum many-body scars in…

Quantum many-body scars are atypical nonthermal states embedded in the chaotic spectrum that evade conventional ergodicity. We show that asymptotically AdS mini-boson stars provide a holographic realization of scar-like states. Their…

For piecewise expanding one-dimensional maps without periodic turning points we prove that isolated eigenvalues of small (random) perturbations of these maps are close to isolated eigenvalues of the unperturbed system. (Here ``eigenvalue''…

We extend the asymptotic boundary layer (ABL) method, originally developed for stable resonator modes, to the description of individual wavefunctions localized around unstable periodic orbits. The formalism applies to the description of…

Quantum many-body scars in Rydberg atom arrays have thus far only been observed on bipartite lattices, leaving open the question of whether and how they survive frustration, and what the appropriate initial states are that lead to…

Formation of quantum scars in many-body systems provides a novel mechanism for enhancing coherence of weakly entangled states. At the same time, coherence of edge modes in certain symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases can persist away…

The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of certain interacting quantum systems still defy precise understanding. One example is the so-called quantum many-body scars (QMBSs), where a set of energy eigenstates evade thermalization to give rise to…
