Freed by interaction kinetic states in the Harper model
We study the problem of two interacting particles in a one-dimensional
quasiperiodic lattice of the Harper model. We show that a short or long range
interaction between particles leads to emergence of delocalized pairs in the
non-interacting localized phase. The properties of these Freed by Interaction
Kinetic States (FIKS) are analyzed numerically including the advanced Arnoldi
method. We find that the number of sites populated by FIKS pairs grows
algebraically with the system size with the maximal exponent , up to a
largest lattice size reached in our numerical simulations, thus
corresponding to a complete delocalization of pairs. For delocalized FIKS pairs
the spectral properties of such quasiperiodic operators represent a deep
mathematical problem. We argue that FIKS pairs can be detected in the framework
of recent cold atom experiments [M.~Schreiber {\it et al.} Science {\bf 349},
842 (2015)] by a simple setup modification. We also discuss possible
implications of FIKS pairs for electron transport in the regime of
charge-density wave and high superconductivity.Comment: 26 pages, 21 pdf and png figures, additional data and high quality

Dynamical decoherence of a qubit coupled to a quantum dot or the SYK black hole
We study the dynamical decoherence of a qubit weakly coupled to a two-body
random interaction model (TBRIM) describing a quantum dot of interacting
fermions or the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) black hole model. We determine the
rates of qubit relaxation and dephasing for regimes of dynamical thermalization
of the quantum dot or of quantum chaos in the SYK model. These rates are found
to correspond to the Fermi golden rule and quantum Zeno regimes depending on
the qubit-fermion coupling strength. An unusual regime is found where these
rates are practically independent of TBRIM parameters. We push forward an
analogy between TBRIM and quantum small-world networks with an explosive
spreading over exponentially large number of states in a finite time being
similar to six degrees of separation in small-world social networks. We find
that the SYK model has approximately two-three degrees of separation.Comment: 17 pages, 15 pdf-figure
Poincar\'e recurrences and Ulam method for the Chirikov standard map
We study numerically the statistics of Poincar\'e recurrences for the
Chirikov standard map and the separatrix map at parameters with a critical
golden invariant curve. The properties of recurrences are analyzed with the
help of a generalized Ulam method. This method allows to construct the
corresponding Ulam matrix whose spectrum and eigenstates are analyzed by the
powerful Arnoldi method. We also develop a new survival Monte Carlo method
which allows us to study recurrences on times changing by ten orders of
magnitude. We show that the recurrences at long times are determined by
trajectory sticking in a vicinity of the critical golden curve and secondary
resonance structures. The values of Poincar\'e exponents of recurrences are
determined for the two maps studied. We also discuss the localization
properties of eigenstates of the Ulam matrix and their relation with the
Poincar\'e recurrences.Comment: 11 pages, 14 figures, high resolution figures and video mpeg files

Hackathons: Why Co-Location?

We draw on surveys and empirical evidence from participation in such events to conclude that the main incentives for participants are peer-to-peer learning and meaningful networking. We then consider why co-location provides an appropriate framework for these processes to occur, and emphasize the needs for future research in this area
Computational Determination of the Dirac-Theory Adjunctator
A number of particle properties stem from the use of Îł0 as adjunctator (Bargmann-Pauli) in the Dirac theory (spin alignment, Dirac current, etc.). The early motivations for accepting Îł0 as adjunctator were representation-dependent, mildly bearing relation to the actual conditions forcing Îł0 as adjunctator. Representation-independent approaches to the physical predictions of the Dirac equation are somewhat new, here presented as being the reasons for Îł0 as adjunctator of the Dirac theory, together with the essential role of the latter in the physical aspects of the theory
