Universality of superdiffusion in simple random graphs

Mrinal Sarkar, Nicolò Defenu, Tilman Enss

Random walks with long-range jumps can drive superdiffusive transport, replacing ordinary diffusion with an effective long-range kinetic operator. Such superdiffusive kinetics is a…

Emergent quantum chaos from correlations on a random graph

Mrinal Sarkar, Valerio Pagni, Tilman Enss +1

This work demonstrates that sparse long-range random bonds on a one-dimensional lattice alone can generate quantum-chaotic spectral correlations and also drive a localization trans…
