• Abstract: We numerically study the quantum dynamics of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric kicked harmonic oscillator. We observe that directed current of momentum and ballistic diffusion of energy coexist under the non-resonant conditions, whereas both the momentum and energy oscillate as damped cosine functions with identical frequencies under the resonant conditions. The research shows that the directed current of momentum and ballistic diffusion of energy arise from nearest-neighbor hopping between momentum eigenstates with the non-Hermitian driving, while the damped oscillations of momentum and energy originate from resonant coupling between the non-Hermitian driving and the harmonic oscillator. Our findings indicate that the non-Hermiticity and the frequency characteristic of this system collectively result in these distinctive dynamical behaviors.

  The decoherence dynamics and spectral response of an optomechanical system is addressed. The decoherence considered arises from pure dephasing, described by the Milburn evolution of the Schr"odinger equation. Results and discussion comparing the inclusions of the linear, quadratic, and linear-quadratic couplings are given.

  The momentum space Josephson effect describes the supercurrent flow between weakly coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. We experimentally observe this exotic phenomenon using a BEC with Raman-induced spin-orbit coupling. Measurement of the Josephson plasma frequency gives the Bogoliubov zero quasimomentum gap, which determines the mass of the corresponding pseudo-Goldstone mode.
