Average diagonal entropy in non-equilibrium isolated quantum systems
The diagonal entropy was introduced as a good entropy candidate especially
for isolated quantum systems out of equilibrium. Here we present an analytical
calculation of the average diagonal entropy for systems undergoing unitary
evolution and an external perturbation in the form of a cyclic quench. We
compare our analytical findings with numerical simulations of various many-body
quantum systems. Our calculations elucidate various heuristic relations
proposed recently in the literature.Comment: 5 pages + 4 page "Supplemental material", 2 figure

Relaxation of isolated quantum systems beyond chaos
In classical statistical mechanics there is a clear correlation between
relaxation to equilibrium and chaos. In contrast, for isolated quantum systems
this relation is -- to say the least -- fuzzy. In this work we try to unveil
the intricate relation between the relaxation process and the transition from
integrability to chaos. We study the approach to equilibrium in two different
many body quantum systems that can be parametrically tuned from regular to
chaotic. We show that a universal relation between relaxation and
delocalization of the initial state in the perturbed basis can be established
regardless of the chaotic nature of system.Comment: 4+ pages, 4 figs. Closest to published versio

O estado da arte e a polinização cruzada na indústria joalheira: um caso promissor
The present article intends to participate in the debate on the concept of design as a process that is approached differently by Latin countries and Anglo-Saxon countries. Many authors, particularly English or American, propose design methodologies that are borrowed from other disciplines such as engineering and try to adapt them to product design. However, no consensus has been reached. This paper will discuss the current panorama of the design methodologies present in Mexico, which is strongly influenced by the Hfg Ulm. The second part of the article is a case study of an industry that is considered promising in Mexico: the jewelry industry, mainly that which uses silver as its main raw material, describing the fundamental role that design is playing for this industry, emphasizing the fact that the methodology used by these designers tilts towards fashion design. The result strongly reflects the influence of fashion design methods and processes in a sort of involuntary cross-fertilization. Key words: design methodologies, design methods, cross fertilization, Mexico.Este artigo pretende participar do debate sobre o conceito de design como um processo abordado de forma diferente pelos paĂses de cultura latina e pelos paĂses anglo-saxões.

A segunda parte do trabalho Ă© um estudo de caso onde se considera um setor promissor no MĂ©xico: a indĂşstria de joias, em particular a que utiliza a prata como matĂ©ria-prima principal, descrevendo o papel fundamental desempenhado pelo design para esta indĂşstria e destacando o fato de que a metodologia utilizada por esses designers tende mais para a moda e estilo.

Weyl law for fat fractals
It has been conjectured that for a class of piecewise linear maps the closure
of the set of images of the discontinuity has the structure of a fat fractal,
that is, a fractal with positive measure. An example of such maps is the
sawtooth map in the elliptic regime. In this work we analyze this problem
quantum mechanically in the semiclassical regime. We find that the fraction of
states localized on the unstable set satisfies a modified fractal Weyl law,
where the exponent is given by the exterior dimension of the fat fractal.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, IOP forma
Multifractality of quantum wave functions in the presence of perturbations
We present a comprehensive study of the destruction of quantum
multifractality in the presence of perturbations. We study diverse
representative models displaying multifractality, including a pseudointegrable
system, the Anderson model and a random matrix model. We apply several types of
natural perturbations which can be relevant for experimental implementations.
We construct an analytical theory for certain cases, and perform extensive
large-scale numerical simulations in other cases. The data are analyzed through
refined methods including double scaling analysis. Our results confirm the
recent conjecture that multifractality breaks down following two scenarios. In
the first one, multifractality is preserved unchanged below a certain
characteristic length which decreases with perturbation strength. In the second
one, multifractality is affected at all scales and disappears uniformly for a
strong enough perturbation. Our refined analysis shows that subtle variants of
these scenarios can be present in certain cases. This study could guide
experimental implementations in order to observe quantum multifractality in
real systems.Comment: 20 pages, 27 figure
Multifractal wave functions of simple quantum maps
We study numerically multifractal properties of two models of one-dimensional
quantum maps, a map with pseudointegrable dynamics and intermediate spectral
statistics, and a map with an Anderson-like transition recently implemented
with cold atoms. Using extensive numerical simulations, we compute the
multifractal exponents of quantum wave functions and study their properties,
with the help of two different numerical methods used for classical
multifractal systems (box-counting method and wavelet method). We compare the
results of the two methods over a wide range of values. We show that the wave
functions of the Anderson map display a multifractal behavior similar to
eigenfunctions of the three-dimensional Anderson transition but of a weaker
type. Wave functions of the intermediate map share some common properties with
eigenfunctions at the Anderson transition (two sets of multifractal exponents,
with similar asymptotic behavior), but other properties are markedly different
(large linear regime for multifractal exponents even for strong
multifractality, different distributions of moments of wave functions, absence
of symmetry of the exponents). Our results thus indicate that the intermediate
map presents original properties, different from certain characteristics of the
Anderson transition derived from the nonlinear sigma model. We also discuss the
importance of finite-size effects.Comment: 15 pages, 21 figure
Two scenarios for quantum multifractality breakdown
We expose two scenarios for the breakdown of quantum multifractality under
the effect of perturbations. In the first scenario, multifractality survives
below a certain scale of the quantum fluctuations. In the other one, the
fluctuations of the wave functions are changed at every scale and each
multifractal dimension smoothly goes to the ergodic value. We use as generic
examples a one-dimensional dynamical system and the three-dimensional Anderson
model at the metal-insulator transition. Based on our results, we conjecture
that the sensitivity of quantum multifractality to perturbation is universal in
the sense that it follows one of these two scenarios depending on the
perturbation. We also discuss the experimental implications.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, minor modifications, published versio
Non-Markovian Quantum Dynamics and Classical Chaos
We study the influence of a chaotic environment in the evolution of an open
quantum system. We show that there is an inverse relation between chaos and
non-Markovianity. In particular, we remark on the deep relation of the short
time non-Markovian behavior with the revivals of the average fidelity
amplitude-a fundamental quantity used to measure sensitivity to perturbations
and to identify quantum chaos. The long time behavior is established as a
finite size effect which vanishes for large enough environments.Comment: Closest to the published versio
