• Abstract: Branching flow -- a phenomenon known for steady wave propagation in two-dimensional weak correlated random potential is also present in the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for a single particle in one dimension, moving in a fluctuating random potential. We explore the two-dimensional parameter space of this model using numerical simulations and identify its classical regions, where just one classical parameter is sufficient for its specification, and its quantum region, where such a simplification is not possible. We also identify region of the parameter space where known analytical results of a classical white-noise model are relevant. Qualitative behavior of quantum and classical particle dynamics is discussed in terms of branching time scale and a new time scale related to particle's kinetic energy.

• Integral quantization based on the Heisenberg-Weyl group [39.58317527488534]
  We develop a framework of integral quantization applied to the motion of spinless particles in the four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The proposed scheme is based on coherent states generated by the action of the Heisenberg-Weyl group. A direct application of our model, including a computation of transition amplitudes between states characterized by fixed positions and momenta, is postponed to a forthcoming article.

  We show that when locally oscillating particles are guided by real wave gradients, particles may exhibit trajectories of alternating periodic or chaotic dynamics. The particle probability distribution function of this analogy reveals the quantum statistics of the standard solutions of the Schr"odinger equation.

  We develop a general approach to the dynamics of quantum/classical systems. An important feature is that, if the interaction allows for a flow of information from the quantum component to the classical one, necessarily the dynamics is dissipative.

  We investigate quench dynamics in a one-dimensional spin model, comparing both quantum and classical descriptions. Numerical simulations, supported by semi-analytical analysis, reveal that the relaxation of single-particle energies (global quantity) and on-site magnetization (local observable) occurs on a timescale independent of the system size $L$.

• The wave operator representation of quantum and classical dynamics [0.0]
  We study the little-known wave operator representation of quantum dynamics. We find it leads to novel semiclassical approximations of both real and imaginary time dynamics. We argue that the wave operator provides a new perspective that links previously unrelated representations.

• A quantum walk simulation of extra dimensions with warped geometry [0.0]
  We investigate the properties of a quantum walk which can simulate the behavior of a spin $1/2$ particle in a model with an ordinary spatial dimension. In particular, we observe that the probability distribution becomes, at large time steps, concentrated near the "low energy" brane. In this way, we obtain a localization effect whose strength is controlled by a warp coefficient.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

  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.
