- Abstract: This paper presents the derivation of a general solution to the scattering
problem of particles incident onto a barrier of constant potential. This
solution is constructed through a geometrodynamic approach to Bohmian
mechanics, assuming that particles undergo quantum tunneling along geodesic
trajectories in an Alcubierre-type spacetime. Furthermore, from this solution,
mathematical expressions for the quantum potential, momentum, position, and
tunneling time are determined in terms of the spacetime geometry for each
relevant region. This allows us to explain the Hartman effect as a consequence
of spacetime distortion generated by the quantum potential within the barrier.

We investigate the quantum motions of non-relativistic particles interacting with a potential in the presence of the Aharonov-Bohm flux field.
Our findings reveal that the eigenvalue solutions are significantly influenced by the topological defect characterized by the parameter $beta$.
This influence manifests as a shift in the energy spectrum, drawing parallels to the gravitational analog of the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

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.

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.
