Motivated by a general principle governing regulation mechanisms in biological cells, we investigate a general interaction scheme between different populations of particles and specific particles, referred to as agents. Assuming that each…
We study the behaviour of the leftmost particle in a semi-infinite particle system on $\mathbb{Z}$, where each particle performs a continuous-time nearest-neighbour random walk, with particle-specific jump rates, subject to the exclusion…
Perturbation theory is used to investigate the evolution of the von Neumann entropy of a subsystem of a bipartite quantum system under the action of a unitary matrix, in the limit where that matrix is close to the unit matrix. The physical…
Suppose that a point-like steady source at $x=0$ injects particles into a half-infinite line. The particles diffuse and die. At long times a non-equilibrium steady state sets in, and we assume that it involves many particles. If the…
While exponential decay is ubiquitous in Nature, deviations at both short and long times are dictated by quantum mechanics. Non-exponential decay is known to arise due to the possibility of reconstructing the initial state from the decaying…
The decay dynamics of a local excitation interacting with a non-Markovian environment, modeled by a semi-infinite tight-binding chain, is exactly evaluated. We identify distinctive regimes for the dynamics. Sequentially: (i) early quadratic…
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…
We try to find conditions, the fulfillment of which allows a universe born in a metastable false vacuum state to survive and not to collapse. The conditions found are in the form of inequalities linking the depending on time $t$…
In this paper we study the problem of inferring the initial conditions of a dynamical system under incomplete information. Studying several model systems, we infer the latent microstates that best reproduce an observed time series when the…
Using the annealed approach we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the survival probability of a critical multitype branching process evolving in i.i.d. random environment. We show under rather general assumptions on the form of the…
A system of $N$ classical Heisenberg-like rotators, characterized by infinite-range ferromagnetic interactions, is studied numerically within the microcanonical ensemble through a molecular-dynamics approach. Such a model, known as the…
Late time properties of moving relativistic particles are studied. Within the proper relativistic treatment of the problem we find decay curves of such particles and we show that late time deviations of the survival probability of these…
When are quantum filters asymptotically independent of the initial state? We show that this is the case for absolutely continuous initial states when the quantum stochastic model satisfies an observability condition. When the initial system…
We find that when the environment of a two-level system has an energy spectrum with a lower bound but without an upper one, the survival probability of the spontaneous emission of the two-level system scales with the spatial dimension $D$…
We describe -- in a didactical and detailed way -- the so-called Lee model (which shares similarities with the Jaynes-Cummings and Friedrichs models) as a tool to study unstable quantum states/particles. This Lee model is based on Quantum…
By analyzing the survival probability amplitude of an unstable state we show that the energy corrections to this state in the long ($t \to \infty$) and relatively short (lifetime of the state) time regions, are different. It is shown that…
We analyze the spontaneous emission of a two-level atom interacting with a special class of structured reservoirs of field modes with band gap edge coinciding with the atomic transition frequency. The exact time evolution of the population…
We perform a detailed study of the relaxation towards equilibrium in the Hamiltonian Mean-Field (HMF) model, a prototype for long-range interactions in $N$-particle dynamics. In particular, we point out the role played by the infinity of…
How does a driven system with many energy levels approach its steady state? Insights are gained by studying a system with three energy levels when the ground state is excited by a laser. The time-dependent occupation probabilities of the…
Gibbs statistical mechanics is derived for the Hamiltonian system coupling self-consistently a wave to N particles. This identifies Landau damping with a regime where a second order phase transition occurs. For nonequilibrium initial data…
