Emergent Nonperturbative Universal Floquet Localization

Soumadip Pakrashi, Atanu Rajak, Sambuddha Sanyal

We show that a robust, nonperturbative localization plateau emerges in periodically driven quasiperiodic lattices, independent of the static localization properties and drive proto…

Higher-order discrete time crystals and enhanced sensing in a quantum kicked top

Subhashis Das, Vishal Khan, Atanu Rajak

We characterize various dynamical phases of the simplest version of the quantum kicked top model, a paradigmatic system for studying quantum chaos, which exhibits both regular and…

Global Blind Spot in Understanding Trigonometric Derivatives: A Multinational Analysis

Yossi Ben-Zion, Jianqiang Liu, Chun-Ming Wang +2

Trigonometric derivatives are fundamental in both mathematics and physics, yet their proper application, particularly the distinction between radians and degrees, poses a significa…

Statistical prethermalization in randomly kicked many-body classical rotor system

Aritra Kundu, Tanay Nag, Atanu Rajak

We explore the phenomena of prethermalization in a many-body classical system of rotors under aperiodic drives characterised by waiting time distribution (WTD), where the waiting t…

Quantum Annealing: An Overview

Atanu Rajak, Sei Suzuki, Amit Dutta +1

In this review, after providing the basic physical concept behind quantum annealing (or adiabatic quantum computation), we present an overview of some recent theoretical as well as…

From prethermalization to chaos in periodically driven coupled rotors

Yonathan Sadia, Emanuele G. Dalla Torre, Atanu Rajak

Periodically driven (Floquet) systems are said to prethermalize when their energy absorption is very slow for long time. This effect was first discovered in quantum spin models, wh…

Dynamics of fluctuation correlation in periodically driven classical system

Aritra Kundu, Atanu Rajak, Tanay Nag

Having established the fact that interacting classical kicked rotor systems exhibit long-lived prethermal phase with quasi-conserved average Hamiltonian before entering into chaoti…

Stability, Isolated Chaos, and Superdiffusion in Nonequilibrium Many-Body Interacting Systems

Atanu Rajak, Itzhack Dana

We demonstrate that stability and chaotic-transport features of paradigmatic nonequilibrium many-body systems, i.e., periodically kicked and interacting particles, can deviate sign…

Periodic and aperiodic dynamics of flat bands in diamond-octagon lattice

Tanay Nag, Atanu Rajak

We drive periodically a two-dimensional diamond-octagon lattice model by switching between two Hamiltonian corresponding two different magnetic flux piercing through diamond plaque…

Characterizations of prethermal states in periodically driven many-body systems with unbounded chaotic diffusion

Atanu Rajak, Itzhack Dana, Emanuele G. Dalla Torre

We introduce well-defined characterizations of prethermal states in realistic periodically driven many-body systems with unbounded chaotic diffusion of the kinetic energy. These sy…

Stability and pre-thermalization in chains of classical kicked rotors

Atanu Rajak, Roberta Citro, Emanuele G. Dalla Torre

Periodic drives are a common tool to control physical systems, but have a limited applicability because time-dependent drives generically lead to heating. How to prevent the heatin…

Entanglement entropy of a three-spin interacting spin chain with a time-reversal breaking impurity at one boundary

Tanay Nag, Atanu Rajak

We investigate the effect of a time-reversal breaking impurity term on both the equilibrium and non-equilibrium critical properties of entanglement entropy (EE) in a three-spin int…

Bat-el Friedman, Atanu Rajak, Emanuele G. Dalla Torre

Spin chains with two Ising symmetries are the Jordan-Wigner duals of one-dimensional interacting fermions with particle-hole and time-reversal symmetry. From earlier works on Major…
