We investigate the decay process from a time dependent potential well in the semiclassical regime. The classical dynamics is chaotic and the decay rate shows an irregular behavior as a function of the system parameters. By studying the…
The extremely small probability of tunneling through an almost classical potential barrier may become not small under the action of the specially adapted non-stationary signal which selects the certain particle energy E_R. For particle…

We study non-linear phenomena in double barrier heterostructures. Systems in 3D under the effect of an external magnetic field along the current and 1D systems are analyzed. Non-linearities are reflected in the I-V characteristic curve as…
A classical representation of an extended body over barriers of height greater than the energy of the incident body is shown to have many features in common with quantum tunneling as the center-of-mass literally goes through the barrier. It…
We study dissipative tunneling in a double well potential that is driven close to a resonance between the lowest tunnel doublet and a singlet. While the coherent dynamics can be described well within a three-level approximation, dissipative…

In this work we investigate the issue of integrability in a classical model for noninteracting fermionic fields. This model is constructed via classical-quantum correspondence obtained from the semiclassical treatment of the quantum system.…
We study non-linear phenomena in quantum dots. Non linearities are reflected in the I-V characteristic curve as bistabilities, instabilities and time dependent oscillations of the currents. The nature of the non-linear behavior depends upon…
Open system dynamics in a classical setting is microscopically governed by the structure of the thermal environment which influences the dynamics of the probe particle (free or in an external potential). Nonlinear baths have recently been…
Time-dependent perturbations can drive a trivial two-dimensional band insulator into a quantum Hall-like phase, with protected nonequilibrium states bound to its edges. We propose an experiment to probe the existence of these topological…

On examples of Bose-Einstein condensates embedded in two-dimensional optical lattices we show that in nonlinear periodic systems modulational instability and inter-band tunneling are intrinsically related phenomena. By direct numerical…
We study the quantum tunnel effect through a potential barrier employing a semiclassical formulation of quantum mechanics based on expectation values of configuration variables and quantum dispersions as dynamical variables. The evolution…
A semiclassical theory is developed and compared to experiments on the tunneling resonance spectrum for a quantum well in magnetic field tilted with respect to the tunneling direction. As the tilt angle is increased from zero the classical…
We solve a long-standing set of problems in optics and waves: why does a volume have only so many useful orthogonal wave channels in or out of it, why do coupling strengths fall off dramatically past this number, and, indeed, just what…
The non-equilibrium dynamics of small boson ensembles in a one-dimensional optical lattice is explored upon a sudden quench of an additional harmonic trap from strong to weak confinement. We find that the competition between the initial…
The classical equation of motion of a charged point particle, including its radiation reaction, is described by the Lorentz-Dirac equation. We found a new class of solutions that describe tunneling (in a completely classical context!). For…
