- Abstract: A derivation of pilot waves from electrodynamic self-interactions is
presented. For this purpose, we abandon the current paradigm that describes
electrodynamic bodies as point masses. Beginning with the Li\'enard-Wiechert
potentials, and assuming that inertia has an electromagnetic origin, the
equation of motion of a nonlinear time-delayed oscillator is obtained. We
analyze the response of the uniform motion of the electromagnetic charged
extended particle to small perturbations, showing that very violent
oscillations are unleashed as a result. The frequency of these oscillations is
intimately related to the zitterbewegung frequency appearing in Dirac's
relativistic wave equation. Finally, we compute the self-energy of the
particle. Apart from the rest and the kinetic energy, we uncover a new
contribution presenting the same fundamental physical constants that appear in
the quantum potential.

Mean energy increases when the frequency returns to its initial value, and the increment coefficient is determined by the exponent in the power law of the frequency crossing zero.
If the frequency becomes imaginary, the absolute value of mean energy increases exponentially, even in the adiabatic regime.
Small corrections to the leading terms of simple adiabatic approximate formulas are crucial in this case, due to the unstable nature of the motion.

We report on an emergent mechanism for pumping in a quantum gas coupled to an optical resonator.
Due to dissipation, the cavity field evolves between its two quadratures, each corresponding to a different centrosymmetric crystal configuration.
This self-oscillation results in a time-periodic potential analogous to that describing the transport of electrons in topological tight-binding models.

We consider a moving particle with a magnetic quadrupole moment in an elastic medium in the presence of a screw dislocation.
We derive wave and energy eigenvalue functions by employing analytical methods for two interaction configurations.
Due to the topological defect in the medium, we observed a shift in the angular momentum quantum number which affects the energy eigenvalues and the wave function of the system.

kinetic energy imparted to a quantum rotor by a non-resonant electromagnetic pulse with a temporal profile exhibits quasi-periodic drops as a function of the pulse duration.
Our analysis reveals that the drops result from the oscillating populations that make up the wavepacket created by the pulse.
handy analytic formulae are derived that allow to predict the pulse durations leading to diminished kinetic energy transfer and orientation.

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.
