- Abstract: If the standard 1D quantum infinite potential well initially in its ground state suffers a sudden expansion, it turns out that in the evolution of the system they may appear plateaux of probability for some fractional times, as noticed by C. Aslangul in 2008. We introduce a mathematical framework to explain this phenomenon. Remarkably, the characterization of these plateaux depends on nontrivial number theoretical considerations.

We introduce a pseudo-Hermitian representation of the density operator, wherein its diagonal elements correspond to biorthogonal extensions of Kirkwood-Dirac quasi-probabilities.
This representation provides a unified framework for the inter-basis quantum superposition and basis state indistinguishability, giving rise to what we term as textitgenuine quantum superposition.

Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems.
In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics.
We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.
