For single-particle nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, a Gamow state is an eigenfunction of the Hamiltonian with complex eigenvalue. Gamow states are not normalizable; they depend on time via the usual multiplier exp(-iEt) supplemented by a…
Dispersive shock waves dominate wave-breaking phenomena in Hamiltonian systems. In the absence of loss, these highly irregular and disordered waves are potentially reversible. However, no experimental evidence has been given about the…

We present a new complete set of states for a class of open quantum systems, to be used in expansion of the Green's function and the time-evolution operator. A remarkable feature of the complete set is that it observes time-reversal…

Waves in space-dependent and time-dependent materials obey similar wave equations, with interchanged time- and space-coordinates. However, since the causality conditions are the same in both types of material (i.e., without interchangement…
