In this paper, we study the long time behavior of nonlinear quantum walks when the initial data is small in $l^2$. In particular, we study the case where the linear part of the quantum walk evolution operator has exactly two eigenvalues and…

The description of an open quantum system's decay almost always requires several approximations as to remain tractable. Here, we first revisit the meaning, domain and seeming contradictions of a few of the most widely used of such…

This paper is a study of the behavior of experimentally observed stress-strain force during the fracture of a quantum wire. The magnitude of the force oscillates as a function of time and can be phenomenologically regarded as a sign of…

We study the dynamics of a simple model for quantum decay, where a single state is coupled to a set of discrete states, the pseudo continuum, each coupled to a real continuum of states. We find that for constant matrix elements between the…

The initial stages of the quasiparticle decay in a Fermi liquid are governed by a time-scale distinct from the scattering rates as derived from the Fermi golden rule approach. We show that the initial decay is nonexponential and that it is…

The problem of unstable particle decay is discussed to show how elementarity of a subsystem immersed in an infinitely larger environment is lost. The decay law, when the same kind of particles as decay product make up a thermal medium, is…
