We present a systematic investigation of the short-range spectral fluctuation properties of three non-Hermitian spin-chain Hamiltonians using complex spacing ratios (CSRs). Specifically, we focus on the non-Hermitian variants of the standard one-dimensional anisotropic XY model having intrinsic rotation-time ($mathcal{RT}$) symmetry that has been explored analytically by Zhang and Song [Phys. Rev. A 87, 012114 (2013)]. The corresponding Hermitian counterpart is also exactly solvable and has been widely employed as a toy model in several condensed matter physics problems. We show that the presence of a random field along the $x$ direction together with the one along the $z$ direction facilitates integrability and $mathcal{RT}$-symmetry breaking, leading to the emergence of quantum chaotic behavior. This is evidenced by a spectral crossover closely resembling the transition from Poissonian to Ginibre unitary ensemble (GinUE) statistics of random matrix theory. Additionally, we consider two phenomenological random matrix models in this paper to examine 1D Poisson to GinUE and 2D Poisson to GinUE crossovers and the associated signatures in CSRs. Here 1D and 2D Poisson correspond to real and complex uncorrelated levels, respectively. These crossovers reasonably capture spectral fluctuations observed in the spin-chain systems within a certain range of parameters.

We examine the momentum and thermal transport in the continuum breakdown regime of a mixing layer flow, which exhibits Kelvin-Helmholtz instability under ideal continuum conditions. The Grad 13 moment model is used as it provides an adequate description of the flow physics (second-order accurate in Knudsen number) in the transition regime. Analytical solutions are developed under breakdown conditions for two-dimensional, compressible, parallel shear flows. It is shown that the deviation of viscous stress and heat flux from the Navier-Stokes-Fourier system follows two different scaling regimes depending upon the Mach number. At low Mach numbers, the departure of all stress and heat-flux components depends only upon the Knudsen number. At high Mach number, the scaling of shear stress and transverse heat flux depends on the product of the Knudsen and Mach numbers. The normal stresses depend individually on the Knudsen and Mach number. The scaling results are verified against numerical simulations of compressible mixing layers performed using the unified gas kinetic scheme for various degrees of rarefaction.

In a predator-prey metapopulation, two traits are adversely related: synchronization and persistence. A decrease in synchrony apparently leads to an increase in persistence and, therefore, necessitates the study of desynchrony in a metapopulation. In this article, we study predator-prey patches that communicate with one another while being interconnected through distinct dispersal structures in the layers of a three-layer multiplex network. We investigate the synchronization phenomenon among the patches of the outer layers by introducing higher-order interactions (specifically three-body interactions) in the middle layer. We observe a decrease in the synchronous behavior or, alternatively, an increase in desynchrony due to the inclusion of group interactions among the patches of the middle layer. The advancement of desynchrony becomes more prominent with increasing strength and numbers of three-way interactions in the middle layer. We analytically validate our numerical results by performing a stability analysis of the referred synchronous solution using the master stability function approach. Additionally, we verify our findings by taking into account two distinct predator-prey models and dispersal topologies, which ultimately supports that the findings are generalizable across various models and dispersal structures.

We present results of relativistic calculations of even-order harmonic generation from various atomic targets. The even-order harmonics appear due to the relativistic nondipole effects. We take these relativistic effects into account by using an approach based on the solution of the time-dependent Dirac equation. The spectra of the nondipole even harmonics look qualitatively similar to the spectra of the dipole harmonics obeying the same classical cutoff rule. The temporal dynamics of the formation of the nondipole harmonics is, however, distinctly different from the process of dipole harmonics formation. Even-order harmonics emission is strongly suppressed at the beginning of the laser pulse, and the emission times of the nondipole harmonics are shifted with respect to the bursts of the dipole emission. These features are partly explained by a simple modification of the classical three-step model which takes into account selection rules governing the emission of harmonic photons.

We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of an isolated bipartite quantum system, the sunburst quantum Ising model, under interaction quench. The prequench limit of this model is two noninteracting integrable systems, namely a transverse Ising chain and finite number of isolated qubits. As a function of interaction strength, the spectral fluctuation property goes from Poisson to Wigner-Dyson statistics. We chose entanglement entropy as a probe to study the approach to thermalization or lack of it in postquench dynamics. In the near-integrable limit, as expected, the linear entropy displays oscillatory behavior, while in the chaotic limit it saturates. Along with the chaotic nature of the time evolution generator, we show the importance of the role played by the coherence of the initial state in deciding the nature of thermalization. We further show that these findings are general by replacing the Ising ring with a disordered $XXZ$ model with disorder strength putting it in the many-body localized phase.

Diversity is omnipresent in natural and synthetic extended systems, the phenomenon of diversity-induced resonance (DIR), wherein a moderate degree of the diversity can provoke an optimal collective response, provides researchers a brand-new strategy to amplify and utilize the weak signal. As yet the relevant advances focus mostly on the ideal situations where the interactions among elements are uncorrelated with the physical proximity of agents. Such a consideration overlooks interactions mediated by the motion of agents in space. Here, we investigate the signal response of an ensemble of spatial mobile heterogeneous bistable oscillators with two canonical interacting modes: dynamic and preset. The oscillators are considered as mass points and perform random walks in a two-dimensional square plane. Under the dynamic scheme, the oscillators can only interact with other oscillators within a fixed vision radius. For the preset circumstance, the interaction among oscillators occurs only when all of them are in a predefined region at the same moment. We find that the DIR can be obtained in both situations. Additionally, the strength of resonance nonmonotonically rises with respect to the increase of moving speed, and the optimal resonance is acquired by an intermediate magnitude of speed. Finally, we propose reduced equations to guarantee the occurrence of such mobility-optimized DIR on the basis of the fast switching approximation theory and also examine the robustness of such phenomenon through the excitable FitzHugh-Nagumo model and a different spatial motion mechanism. Our results reveal for the first time that the DIR can be optimized by the spatial mobility and thus has promising potential application in the communication of mobile agents.

The choice of mathematical representation when describing physical systems is of great consequence, and this choice is usually determined by the properties of the problem at hand. Here we examine the little-known wave operator representation of quantum dynamics and explore its connection to standard methods of quantum dynamics, such as the Wigner phase-space function. This method takes as its central object the square root of the density matrix and consequently enjoys several unusual advantages over standard representations. By combining this with purification techniques imported from quantum information, we are able to obtain a number of results. Not only is this formalism able to provide a natural bridge between phase- and Hilbert-space representations of both quantum and classical dynamics, we also find the wave operator representation leads to semiclassical approximations of both real and imaginary time dynamics, as well as a transparent correspondence to the classical limit. It is then demonstrated that there exist a number of scenarios (such as thermalization) in which the wave operator representation possesses an equivalent unitary evolution, which corresponds to nonlinear real-time dynamics for the density matrix. We argue that the wave operator provides a new perspective that links previously unrelated representations and is a natural candidate model for scenarios (such as hybrids) in which positivity cannot be otherwise guaranteed.

We develop an intuitive geometric picture of quantum states, define a particular state distance, and derive a quantum speed limit (QSL) for open systems. Our QSL is attainable because any initial state can be driven to a final state by the particular dynamics along the geodesic. We present the general condition for dynamics along the geodesic for our QSL. As evidence, we consider the generalized amplitude damping dynamics and the dephasing dynamics to demonstrate the attainability. In addition, we also compare our QSL with others by strict analytic processes as well as numerical illustrations, and show our QSL is tight in many cases. It indicates that our paper is significant in tightening the bound of evolution time.

We develop a general multiple scattering expansion (MSE) for computing Casimir forces between magneto-dielectric bodies and Casimir-Polder forces between polarizable particles and magneto-dielectric bodies. The approach is based on fluctuating electric and magnetic surface currents and charges. The surface integral equations for these surface fields can be formulated in terms of surface scattering operators (SSOs). We show that there exists an entire family of such operators. One particular member of this family is only weakly divergent and allows for a MSE that appears to be convergent for general magneto-dielectric bodies. We prove a number of properties of this operator, and demonstrate explicitly convergence for sufficiently low and high frequencies, and for perfect conductors. General expressions are derived for the Casimir interaction between macroscopic bodies and for the Casimir-Polder interaction between particles and macroscopic bodies in terms of the SSO, both at zero and finite temperatures. An advantage of our approach over previous scattering methods is that it does not require the knowledge of the scattering amplitude ($T$ operator) of the bodies. A number of simple examples are provided to demonstrate the use of the method. Some applications of our approach have appeared previously [T. Emig and G. Bimonte, Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 200401 (2023)]. Here we provide additional technical aspects and details of our approach.
