- Abstract: We study a simple non-interacting nearest neighbor tight-binding model in one
dimension with disorder, where the hopping terms are chosen randomly. This
model exhibits a well-known singularity at the band center both in the density
of states and localization length. If the probability distribution of the
hopping terms is well-behaved, then the singularities exhibit universal
behavior, the functional form of which was first discovered by Freeman Dyson in
the context of a chain of classical harmonic oscillators. We show here that
this universal form can be violated in a tunable manner if the hopping elements
are chosen from a divergent probability distribution. We also demonstrate a
connection between a breakdown of universality in this quantum problem and an
analogous scenario in the classical domain - that of random walks and diffusion
with anomalous exponents.

We find an exceptional point at a critical dissipation strength that separates oscillating and non-oscillating decay.
We also describe a different type of dissipation that leads to a single decay mode in the whole operator subspace.

We study Thouless pumps, i.e., adiabatic topological transport, in an interacting spin chain described by the dimerized XXZ Hamiltonian.
In the noninteracting case, quantized Thouless pumps can only occur when a topological singularity is encircled adiabatically.
In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the singularity.

The quantum Rabi model serves as the simplest non-integrable yet solvable model describing the interaction between a two-level system and a single mode of a bosonic field.
We show that the energy spectrum of the generalized quantum Rabi model can be analytically determined by a bi-confluent Fuchsian equation.

Strong local disorder in interacting quantum spin chains can turn delocalized eigenmodes into localized eigenstates.
This is accompanied by distinct spectral statistics: chaotic for the delocalized phase and integrable for the localized phase.
We ask whether random dissipation (without random disorder) can induce chaotic or localized behavior in an otherwise integrable system.

The percolation transition is defined through the appearance of the infinite cluster.
We show that the exponentially increasing dimensionality of the Hilbert space makes its covering by finite-size hyperspheres inefficient.
Our approach to the percolation transition in compact metric spaces may prove useful for its rigorous treatment in other contexts.

We study the full counting statistics of spin transport in various integrable and non-integrable anisotropic one-dimensional spin models.
We find that spin transport, while diffusive on average, is governed by a distinct non-Gaussian universality class.
Our predictions can directly be tested in experiments using quantum gas microscopes or superconducting qubit arrays.

This reveals a unification of the random dynamical decoupling and the quantum Zeno effect.
