• Abstract: The population decay due to a small opening in an otherwise closed cavity supporting chaotic classical dynamics displays a quantum correction on top of the classical exponential form, a pure manifestation of quantum coherence that acquires a universal form and can be explained by path interference. Being coherent, such enhancement is prone to decoherence effects due to the coupling of the system to an external environment. We study this interplay between incoherent and coherent quantum corrections to decay by evaluating, within a Caldeira-Legget scenario, off-diagonal contributions to the decoherence functional coming from pairs of correlated classical paths in the time regime where dissipative effects are neglected and decoherence does not affect the classical dynamics, but quantum interference must be accounted for. We find that the competing effects of interference and decoherence lead to a universal non-monotonous form for the survival probability depending only on the universality class, coupling strength, and macroscopic parameters of the cavity.

• Entanglement and thermokinetic uncertainty relations in coherent mesoscopic transport [0.0]
  Coherence leads to entanglement and even nonlocality in quantum systems. Coherence may lead to a suppression of fluctuations, causing violations of thermo-kinetic uncertainty relations. Our results provide guiding principles for the design of out-of-equilibrium devices that exhibit nonclassical behavior.

  We find that hitherto unrecognized quasiparticles -- incoherentons -- describe a coherent-to-incoherent transition in eigenmodes of a Liouvillian superoperator. We demonstrate the existence of incoherentons in a lattice boson model subject to dephasing, and show that the quantum coherence gap closes when incoherentons are deconfined.
