• Abstract: We study the quantum backflow problem of a relativistic charged Dirac fermion constrained to move on a ring of radius $R$. Using the relativistic current operator we compute the probability flux through a generic time interval to show emergence of quantum backflow. We also discuss the limiting case when the particle moves along a line.

  We study a quantum particle confined to a ring and prepared in a state composed of a fixed number of lowest energy eigenstates with non-negative angular momentum. We investigate the time-dependent behavior of the probability current at a specified point along the ring's circumference. We present an analytical expression for a quantum state that yields a record-high backflow probability transfer.

  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

  We study phase transitions occurring in the stationary state of the dynamics of integrable many-body non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  It was shown that the tunneling time of a relativistic spin-0 particle is instantaneous under the condition that the barrier height $V_o$ is less than the rest mass energy. This implies that instantaneous tunneling is an inherent quantum effect in the context of arrival times.

A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
