We study the stability of the coherence of a state of a quantum system under the effect of an interaction with another quantum system at short time. We find an expression for evaluating the order of magnitude of the time scale for the onset…

Systems of stochastic particles evolving in a multi-well energy landscape and attracted to their barycenter is the prototypical example of mean-field process undergoing phase transitions: at low temperature, the corresponding mean-field…

We consider the dynamics of a periodic chain of N coupled overdamped particles under the influence of noise. Each particle is subjected to a bistable local potential, to a linear coupling with its nearest neighbours, and to an independent…

We study systems with local vibrating potentials, one-dimensional single and double wells and the tight-binding 1D model with single vibrating site. In general, these systems transmit, or reflect particles inelastically, with absorption or…

We study the effect of external stochastic modulation on a system with O(2) symmetry that exhibits a Hopf or oscillatory instability in the absence of modulation. The study includes a random component in both the control parameter of the…

This is the first paper in a series where we study collisions of nucleated bubbles taking into account the effects of small initial (quantum) fluctuations in a fully 3+1-dimensional setting. In this paper, we consider the evolution of…

The over-damped motion of a Brownian particle in an asymmetric, bistable, fluctuating potential shows noise induced stability: For intermediate fluctuation rates the mean occupancy of minima with an energy above the absolute minimum is…

We consider a model for systemic risk comprising of a system of diffusion processes, interacting through their empirical mean. Each process is subject to a confining double-well potential with some uncertainty in the coefficients,…

We investigate a mechanism to transiently stabilize topological phenomena in long-lived quasi-steady states of isolated quantum many-body systems driven at low frequencies. We obtain an analytical bound for the lifetime of the quasi-steady…

We point out that a non-overlapping well (at negative energies) adjacent to a finite barrier (at positive energies) is a simple potential which is generally missed out while discussing the one-dimensional potentials in the textbooks of…

A variational principle enabling one to compute individual Floquet states of a periodically time-dependent quantum system is formulated, and successfully tested against the benchmark system provided by the analytically solvable model of a…

In this work, the behavior of test particles near a domain wall of a stable false vacuum bubble is studied. It is shown that matter is naturally trapped in the vicinity of a static domain wall, and also, that there is a discontinuity in the…

A formalism for quantum many-body systems is proposed through a semiclassical treatment in phase space, allowing us to establish a stochastic thermodynamics incorporating quantum statistics. Specifically, we utilize a stochastic…

We discuss the phase coherence properties of a mesoscopic normal ring coupled to an electric environment via Coulomb interactions. This system can be mapped onto the Caldeira-Leggett model with a flux dependent tunneling amplitude. We show…

We numerically analyse quantum survival probability fluctuations in an open, classically chaotic system. In a quasi-classical regime, and in the presence of classical mixed phase space, such fluctuations are believed to exhibit a fractal…

We study the transient dynamics subject to quantum coherence effects of two interacting parallel quantum dots weakly coupled to macroscopic leads. The stationary particle current of this quantum system is sensitive to perturbations much…

There is an increasing interest in the role of macroscopic environments to our understanding of the basics of quantum theory. The knowledge of the implications of the quantum theory to other theories, especially to the statistical mechanics…

Metastability is ubiquitous in diverse complex systems. In open quantum systems, metastability offers protection against dissipation and decoherence, yet its application in quantum batteries remains unexplored. We propose a solid-state open…

This paper studies both existence and spectral stability properties of bounded spatially periodic traveling wave solutions to a large class of scalar viscous balance laws in one space dimension with a reaction function of monostable or…

We investigate the phenomenon of parametric instability in discrete models of spatiotemporally modulated materials. These materials are celebrated in part because they exhibit nonreciprocal transmission characteristics. However, parametric…
