Nonequilibrium states of closed quantum many-body systems defy a thermodynamic description. As a consequence, constraints such as the principle of equal a priori probabilities in the microcanonical ensemble can be relaxed, which can lead to…
We study a Fokker-Planck equation with double-well potential that is nonlocally driven by a dynamical constraint and involves two small parameters. Relying on formal asymptotics we identify several parameter regimes and derive reduced…

Conventional approaches for controlling open quantum systems use coherent control which affects the system's evolution through the Hamiltonian part of the dynamics. Such control, although being extremely efficient for a large variety of…
In Coulomb 3-body problems, configurations of close proximity of the particles are classically unstable. In confined systems they might however exist as excited quantum states. Quantum control of such states by time changing electromagnetic…

Identifying the real and imaginary parts of wave functions with coordinates and momenta, quantum evolution may be mapped onto a classical Hamiltonian system. In addition to the symplectic form, quantum mechanics also has a positive-definite…
Current studies about the continuous-variable systems in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics heavily revolved around the singularities in the eigenspectrum by mimicking their discrete-variable counterparts. Discussions over the nonunitary…
