We consider a biased nearest-neighbor random walk on $\Z$ which at each step is trapped for some random time with random, site-dependent mean. We derive a simple formula for the speed function in terms of the model parameters.
A new strategy for trapping quantum particles is presented, which behaves like an effective harmonic oscillator potential trap wherever is desired. The approach is based on harmonic contraction and expansion of the system around a fixed…

We show that a chain of trapped ions embedded in microtraps generated by an optical lattice can be used to study oscillator models related to dry friction and energy transport. Numerical calculations with realistic experimental parameters…
We consider a reaction-diffusion process with retardation. The particles, immersed in traps initially, remain inactive until another particle is annihilated spontaneously with a rate $\lambda$ at a certain point $\vec x$. In that case the…
The problem of a diffusing particle moving among diffusing traps is analyzed in general space dimension d. We consider the case where the traps are initially randomly distributed in space, with uniform density rho, and derive upper and…

Properties of a single impurity in a one-dimensional Fermi gas are investigated in homogeneous and trapped geometries. In a homogeneous system we use McGuire's expression [J. B. McGuire, J. Math. Phys. 6, 432 (1965)] to obtain interaction…
We investigate a modified version of the $AB$ random sequential adsorption model. Specifically, this model involves the deposition of two distinct types of particles onto a lattice, with the constraint that different types cannot occupy…

Stochasticity is a defining feature of the pairwise forces governing interactions in biological systems-from molecular motors to cell-cell adhesion-yet its consequences on large-scale dynamics remain poorly understood. Here, we show that…
