• Abstract: It was recently shown that Aharonov-Bohm (AB) cages exist for quantum walks (QW) on certain tilings -- such as the diamond chain or the dice (or $\mathcal{T}_3$) lattice -- for a proper choice of coins. In this article, we probe the robustness of these AB cages to various perturbations. When the cages are destroyed, we analyze the leakage mechanism and characterize the resulting dynamics. Quenched disorder typically breaks the cages and leads to an exponential decay of the wavefunction similar to Anderson localization. Dynamical disorder or repeated measurements destroy phase coherence and turn the QW into a classical random walk with diffusive behavior. Combining static and dynamical disorder in a specific way leads to subdiffusion with an anomalous exponent controlled by the quenched disorder distribution. Introducing interaction to a second walker can also break the cages and restore a ballistic motion for a "molecular" bound-state.

  The Continuous-Variable Firing Rate (CVFR) model is used to describe the intertangled dynamics of excitatory biological neurons. The model is supplied with a set of planted attractors which are self-consistently embedded in the inter-nodes coupling matrix. A variant of the CVFR model is also studied and found to be robust to aversarial random attacks, which corrupt the items to be classified.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

  We observe two distinct power-law relaxation behaviors following a sudden quench in the integrable XY model. The relaxation at the disorder line (DL) shows a new scaling exponent previously unexplored. The transitions are also observed to be robust under weak integrability breaking perturbations but disappear following strongly chaotic quenches.
