A quantum system subject to an external perturbation can experience leakage between uncoupled regions of its energy spectrum separated by a gap. To quantify this phenomenon, we present two complementary results. First, we establish…

Using the theory of diffusion in graphs, we propose a model to study mesoscopic transport through a diffusive quantum dot. The graph consists of three quasi-1D regions: a central region describing the dot, and two identical left- and right-…
The relation between relaxation and diffusion is investigated in a Hamiltonian system of globally coupled rotators. Diffusion is anomalous if and only if the system is going towards equilibrium. The anomaly in diffusion is not anomalous…

Classical reverse diffusion is generated by changing the drift at fixed noise. We show that the quantum version of this principle obeys an exact law with a sharp phase boundary. For Gaussian pure-loss dynamics, the canonical model of…
