The Schrodinger equation for a macroscopic number of particles is linear in the wave function, deterministic, and invariant under time reversal. In contrast, the concepts used and calculations done in statistical physics and condensed…
A stochastic mode reduction strategy is applied to multiscale models with a deterministic energy-conserving fast sub-system. Specifically, we consider situations where the slow variables are driven stochastically and interact with the fast…
We study the asymptotics of the Schr\"odinger equation with time-dependent potential in dimension one. Assuming that the potential decays sufficiently rapidly as $|x| \to \infty$, we prove that the solution can be written as the sum of a…
Discrete time crystal is a class of nonequilibrium quantum systems exhibiting subharmonic responses to external periodic driving. Here we propose a class of discrete time crystals enforced by nonsymmorphic dynamical symmetry. We start with…

The finite q-oscillator is a model that obeys the dynamics of the harmonic oscillator, with the operators of position, momentum and Hamiltonian being functions of elements of the q-algebra su_q(2). The spectrum of position in this discrete…
We present an application of a nonstandard approximate method---the finite-rank approximation---to solving the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation for a bound-state problem. The method is illustrated on the example of a…

It is shown that evolution of an open quantum system can be exactly described in terms of wave function which obeys Schrodinger equation with randomly varying parameters whose statistics is universally determined by separate dynamics of the…
The report presents an exhaustive review of the recent attempt to overcome the difficulties that standard quantum mechanics meets in accounting for the measurement (or macro-objectification) problem, an attempt based on the consideration of…
The assumption that wave function collapse is induced by correlating interactions of the kind that constitute measurements leads to a stochastic collapse equation that does not require the introduction of any new physical constants and that…
Quantum mechanics is derived as an application of the method of maximum entropy. No appeal is made to any underlying classical action principle whether deterministic or stochastic. Instead, the basic assumption is that in addition to the…
We present a formalism for semiclassical time evolution in quantum mechanics, building on a century of work. We identify complex saddle points in real time, real saddle points in complex time, and complex saddle points in complex time that…
In this article we study the nature of time in Mechanics. The fundamental principle, according to which a mechanical system evolves governed by a second order differential equation, implies the existence of an absolute time-duration in the…
We analyze the non-Markovian stochastic Schroedinger equation describing a particle subject to spontaneous collapses in space (in the language of collapse models), or subject to a continuous measurement of its position (in the language of…
We construct a novel class of exact solutions to the Boltzmann equation, in both its classical and quantum formulation, for arbitrary collision laws. When the system is subjected to a specific external forcing, the precise form of which is…
Quantum theory has been remarkably successful in providing an understanding of physical systems at foundational scales. Solving the Schr\"odinger equation provides full knowledge of all dynamical quantities of the physical system. However…
A question of the time the system spends in the specified state, when the final state of the system is given, is raised. The model of weak measurements is used to obtain the expression for the time. The conditions for determination of such…
The finite-time control problem of quantum systems is investigated in this paper. We first define finite-time stability and present a finite-time Lyapunov stability criterion for finite-dimensional quantum systems in coherence vector…
We develop a rigorous treatment of discontinuous stochastic unitary evolution for a system of quantum particles that interacts singularly with quantum "bubbles" at random instants of time. This model of a "cloud chamber" allows to watch and…
