• Abstract: Direct reproduction of Bialynicki-Birula's quantum solutions using the authors' own equations and initial conditions reveals two fundamental flaws. First, the eigenfunctions exhibit divergence in the region $y<0$, contradicting the claimed decay behavior ($\abs{\phi}\to\infty$ as $y\to -10$) (Figs. 9--11). Second, the apparent parity symmetry displayed in Figures 9--11 is not supported by Equation (21); numerical solutions clearly show asymmetric wavefunctions. Furthermore, all quantum solutions presented in Section IV violate the boundedness requirements of quantum mechanics. These inconsistencies raise serious concerns about the physical validity of the quantum framework underlying the time crystal model.

  Out-of-time-ordered-correlators (OTOCs) have been suggested as a means to diagnose chaotic behavior in quantum mechanical systems. I study OTOCs for the inverted anharmonic (pure quartic) oscillator in quantum mechanics. For higher temperature, OTOCs seem to exhibit saturation consistent with a value of $-2 langle x2 rangle_T langle p2 rangle_T$ at late times.

We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

Our results underline new ways in which quantum correlations may be preserved in counterintuitive ways even in small-scale non-Hermitian networks.

• The non-reciprocal Dicke model [0.0]
  We investigate the physics of an open two-component Dicke model, where the light field mediates non-reciprocal interactions between two spin species. We show that the model exhibits a discrete parity-time ($mathcalPT$) symmetry and we characterize the emergence of a non-stationary phase, so far explained in terms of dissipation-induced instability. Our results establish driven-dissipative light-matter systems as a new avenue for exploring non-reciprocal phase transitions and contribute to the theory of non-reciprocal collective phenomena.

• Entropic uncertainty relations for mutually unbiased periodic coarse-grained observables resemble their discrete counterparts [0.0]
  In a $d$ dimensional system and two mutually unbiased measurements, the sum of two information entropies is lower bounded by $ln d$. It has recently been shown that projective measurements subject to operational mutual unbiasedness can also be constructed in a continuous domain. Here we consider the whole family of R'enyi entropies applied to these discretized observables and prove that such a scheme does also admit the uncertainty relation mentioned above.

  We study how the probability of presence of a particle is distributed between the two parts of a composite fermionic system. We prove that it is a non-perturbative property and we find out a large/small coupling constant duality. Inspired by the proof of KAM theorem, we are able to deal with this problem by introducing a cut-off in energies that eliminates these small denominators.
