We present an analytical theory describing a novel phenomenon of enhanced backscattering corresponding to the spatial refocussing of a spread-out correlated wave packet due to a brief interaction with a disordered potential. Our theory is…
This is the first of two subsequent publications where the probability distribution of delay-times in scattering of wave packets is discussed. The probability distribution is expressed in terms of the on-shell scattering matrix, the…
We consider quantum particle or Gaussian polymer confinement between two surfaces and in cylinders with sinusoidal undulations. In terms of the variational method, we show that the quantum mechanical wave equations have lower ground state…
Space-time wave packets are propagation-invariant pulsed beams that travel in free space without diffraction or dispersion by virtue of tight correlations introduced into their spatio-temporal spectrum. Such correlations constitute an…
We consider statistics of electronic transport in chaotic cavities where time-reversal symmetry is broken and one of the leads is weakly non-ideal, i.e. it contains tunnel barriers characterized by tunneling probabilities $\Gamma_i$. Using…
We study the ordering statistics of 4 random walkers on the line, obtaining a much improved estimate for the long-time decay exponent of the probability that a particle leads to time $t$; $P_{\rm lead}(t)\sim t^{-0.91287850}$, and that a…
Two-particle scattering probabilities in tunneling scenarios with exchange interaction are analyzed with quasi-particle wave packets. Two initial one-particle wave packets (with opposite central momentums) are spatially localized at each…
We consider wave packet propagation in a quantum wire with either an embedded antidot or an embedded parallel double open quantum dot under the influence of a uniform magnetic field. The magnetoconductance and the time evolution of an…
We investigate the effects of disorder on a system that in the clean limit is a pair density wave (PDW) superconductor. The charge order of the clean PDW is inevitably lost (via Imry-Ma), but the fate of the superconducting order is less…
The time that waves spend inside 1D random media with the possibility of performing L\'evy walks is experimentally and theoretically studied. The dynamics of quantum and classical wave diffusion has been investigated in canonical disordered…
Like a free particle, the initial growth of a broad (relative to lattice spacing) wavepacket placed on an ordered lattice is slow (zero initial slope) and becomes linear in $t$ at long time. On a disordered lattice, the growth is inhibited…
Wave propagation in ray-chaotic scenarios, characterized by exponential sensitivity to ray-launching conditions, is a topic of significant interest, with deep phenomenological implications and important applications, ranging from optical…
Controversy surrounding the "tunnelling time problem" stems from the seeming inability of quantum mechanics to provide, in the usual way, a definition of the duration a particle is supposed to spend in a given region of space. For this…
We study the behavior of a quantum particle trapped in a confining potential in one dimension under multiple sudden changes of velocity and/or acceleration. We develop the appropriate formalism to deal with such situation and we use it to…
For a class of scalar partial differential equations that incorporate convection, diffusion, and possibly dispersion in one space and one time dimension, the stability of traveling wave solutions is investigated. If the initial perturbation…
The statistical theory of certain complex wave interference phenomena, like the statistical fluctuations of transmission and reflection of waves, is of considerable interest in many fields of physics. In this article we shall be mainly…
Eccentric cavities in circumbinary disks precess on timescales much longer than the binary orbital period. These long-lived steady states can be understood as trapped modes in an effective potential primarily determined by the binary…
The problem of disorder seeks to determine a stopping time which is as close as possible to the unknown time of ``disorder'' when the observed process changes its probability characteristics. We give a partial answer to this question for…
Lower bounds for persistence probabilities of stationary Gaussian processes in discrete time are obtained under various conditions on the spectral measure of the process. Examples are given to show that the persistence probability can decay…
Semiclassical approximations for tunneling processes usually involve complex trajectories or complex times. In this paper we use a previously derived approximation involving only real trajectories propagating in real time to describe the…
