We prove quantum dynamical upper bounds for operators from the Fibonacci hull. These bounds hold for sufficiently large coupling and they are uniform in the phase. This extends recent work by Killip, Kiselev and Last who obtained these…
Discrete wave mechanics describes the evolution of classical or matter waves on a lattice, which is governed by a discretized version of the Schr\"odinger equation. While for a vanishing lattice spacing wave evolution of the continuous…
We consider the spreading of the wave packet in the generalized Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix ensemble in the region of non-ergodic extended states $1<\gamma<2$. We show that despite non-trivial fractal dimensions $0 < D_{q}=2-\gamma<1$…
Based on an optimal rate wavelet series representation, we derive a local modulus of continuity result with a refined almost sure upper bound for fractional Brownian motion. \sloppy The obtained upper bound of the small fractional Brownian…
We identify the characteristic times of the evolution of a quantum wave generated by a point source with a sharp onset in an absorbing medium. The "traversal'' or "B\"uttiker-Landauer'' time (which grows linearly with the distance to the…
Hydrodynamic projections, the projection onto conserved charges representing ballistic propagation of fluid waves, give exact transport results in many-body systems, such as the exact Drude weights. Focussing one one-dimensional systems, I…
We consider the hydrodynamic behavior of some conservative particle systems with degenerate jump rates without exclusive constraints. More precisely, we study the particle systems without restrictions on the total number of particles per…
In the absence of nonlinearity all eigenmodes of a chain with disorder are spatially localized (Anderson localization). The width of the eigenvalue spectrum, and the average eigenvalue spacing inside the localization volume, set two…
Kinetic equations are often appropriate to model the energy density of high frequency waves propagating in highly heterogeneous media. The limitations of the kinetic model are quantified by the statistical instability of the wave energy…
The interaction between waves and evolving media challenges traditional conservation laws. We experimentally investigate the behavior of elastic wave packets crossing a moving interface that separates two media with distinct propagation…
Fluids confined to quasi-one-dimensional channels exhibit a dynamic crossover from single file diffusion to normal diffusion as the channel becomes wide enough for particles to hop past each other. In the crossover regime, where hopping…
The spreading of quantum mechanical wave packets is studied in two cases. Firstly we look at the time behavior of the packet width of a free particle confined in the observable Universe. Secondly, by imposing the conservation of the time…
We study the cubic weakly nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with randomized spatially quasi-periodic initial data in higher dimensions. Under a polynomial decay assumption in Fourier space, we establish a {\em Large Deviations Principle} for…
An electromagnetic wave-packet propagating in a linear, homogeneous, and isotropic medium changes shape while its envelope travels with different velocities at different points in spacetime. In general, a wave-packet can be described as a…
The recently developed concept of spreadability, $\mathcal{S}(t)$, provides a direct link between time-dependent diffusive transport and the microstructure of two-phase media across length scales. We explicitly compute $\mathcal{S}(t)$ for…
We obtain analytic expressions for the time correlation functions of a liquid of spherical particles, exact in the limit of high dimensions $d$. The derivation is long but straightforward: a dynamic virial expansion for which only the first…
In the context of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, Gaussian wavepacket solutions of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation provide useful physical insight. This is not the case for relativistic quantum mechanics, however, for which…
This paper is concerned with spreading properties of space-time heterogeneous Fisher--KPP equations in one space dimension. We focus on the case of everywhere favorable environment with three different zones, a left half-line with slow or…
We present a detailed study of the dynamics of electronic wavepackets in Fibonacci semiconductor superlattices, both in flat band conditions and subject to homogeneous electric fields perpendicular to the layers. Coherent propagation of…
We consider diffraction at random point scatterers on general discrete point sets in $\R^\nu$, restricted to a finite volume. We allow for random amplitudes and random dislocations of the scatterers. We investigate the speed of convergence…
