Scalar field quasinormal frequencies of Reissner-Nordström black hole surrounded by quintessence by using he continued fraction method
We evaluate the quasinormal modes of massless scalar field around Reissner-Nordstr$\ddot{\text{o}}$m black hole surrounded by a static and spherically symmetric quintessence by using the continued fraction method. The appropriate Frobenius series for three special cases of the quintessence parameter $ \epsilon = -1/3, -2/3$ and $-1$ are derived successfully. We show that the variation of quasinormal frequencies with charge of the black hole and the quintessential parameters. The numerical results show that quintessence field decreases oscillation frequencies of all angular momentum $l$ modes and increases the damping time of $l>0$ modes.

Weak invariants of time-dependent quantum dissipative systems
The concept of weak invariant is introduced. Then, the weak invariants associated with time-dependent quantum dissipative systems are discussed in the context of master equations of the Lindblad type. In particular, with the help of the su(1,1) Lie-algebraic structure, the weak invariant is explicitly constructed for the quantum damped harmonic oscillator with the time-dependent frequency and friction coefficient. This generalizes the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant to the case of nonunitary dynamics in the Markovian approximation.

Stabilization of second order nonlinear equations with variable delay
For a wide class of second order nonlinear non-autonomous models, we illustrate that combining proportional state control with the feedback that is proportional to the derivative of the chaotic signal, allows to stabilize unstable motions of the system. The delays are variable, which leads to more flexible controls permitting delay perturbations; only delay bounds are significant for stabilization by a delayed control. The results are applied to the sunflower equation which has an infinite number of equilibrium points.

Infrared behavior of dipolar Bose systems at low temperatures
We rigorously discuss the infrared behavior of the uniform three dimensional dipolar Bose systems. In particular, it is shown that low-temperature physics of the system is controlled by two parameters, namely isothermal compressibility and intensity of the dipole-dipole interaction. By using hydrodynamic approach we calculate the spectrum and damping of low-lying excitations and analyze infrared behavior of the one-particle Green's function. The low-temperature corrections to the anisotropic superfluid density as well as condensate depletion are found. Additionally we derive equations of the two-fluid hydrodynamics for dipolar Bose systems and calculate velocities of first and second sound.

Skyrmion dynamics in a chiral magnet driven by periodically varying spin currents
In this work, we investigated the spin dynamics in a slab of chiral magnets induced by an alternating (ac) spin current. Periodic trajectories of the skyrmion in real space are discovered under the ac current as a result of the Magnus and viscous forces, which originate from the Gilbert damping, the spin transfer torque, and the $ \beta $-nonadiabatic torque effects. The results are obtained by numerically solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and can be explained by the Thiele equation characterizing the skyrmion core motion.

Two-well atomic Bose-Hubbard analogues of optical cavities
We propose and analyse analogs of optical cavities for atoms using two-well Bose-Hubbard models with pumping and losses. With one well pumped, we find that both the mean-field dynamics and the quantum statistics show a quantitative dependence on the choice of damped well. Both the systems we analyse remain far from equilibrium, preserving good coherence between the wells in the steady-state. We find a small degree of quadrature squeezing and mode entanglement for some parameter regimes. Due to recent experimental advances, it should be possible to demonstrate the effects we investigate and predict.

Gravitational Waves in Effective Quantum Gravity
In this short paper we investigate quantum gravitational effects on Einstein's equations using effective field theory techniques. We consider the leading order quantum gravitational correction to the wave equation. Besides the usual massless mode, we find a pair of modes with complex masses. These massive particles have a width and could thus lead to a damping of gravitational waves if excited in violent astrophysical processes producing gravitational waves such as e.g. black hole mergers. We discuss the consequences for gravitational wave events such as GW 150914 recently observed by the Advanced LIGO collaboration.

A bifurcation analysis for the Lugiato-Lefever equation
The Lugiato-Lefever equation is a cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation, including damping, detuning and driving, which arises as a model in nonlinear optics. We study the existence of stationary waves which are found as solutions of a four-dimensional reversible dynamical system in which the evolutionary variable is the space variable. Relying upon tools from bifurcation theory and normal forms theory, we discuss the codimension 1 bifurcations. We prove the existence of various types of steady solutions, including spatially localized, periodic, or quasi-periodic solutions.

An analytic technique for the solutions of nonlinear oscillators with damping using the Abel Equation
Using the Chiellini condition for integrability we derive explicit solutions for a generalized system of Riccati equations $\ddot{x}+\alpha x^{2n+1}\dot{x}+x^{4n+3}=0$ by reduction to the first-order Abel equation assuming the parameter $\alpha\ge 2\sqrt{2(n+1)}$. The technique, which was proposed by Harko \textit{et al}, involves use of an auxiliary system of first-order differential equations sharing a common solution with the Abel equation. In the process analytical proofs of some of the conjectures made earlier on the basis of numerical investigations in \cite{SJKB} is provided.

Phenomenological plasmon broadening and relation to the dispersion
Pragmatic ways of including lifetime broadening of collective modes in the electron liquid are critically compared. Special focus lies on the impact of the damping parameter onto the dispersion. It is quantitatively exemplified for the two-dimensional case, for both, the charge (`sheet'-)plasmon and the spin-density plasmon. The predicted deviations fall within the resolution limits of advanced techniques.

Quasistatic contact problem with unilateral constraint for elastic-viscoplastic materials
This paper consists of two parts. In the first part we prove the unique solvability for the abstract variational-hemivariational inequality with history-dependent operator. The proof is based on the existing result for the static variational-hemivariational inequality and a fixed point argument. In the second part, we consider a mathematical model which describes quasistatic frictional contact between a deformable body and a rigid foundation. In the model the material behaviour is modelled by an elastic-viscoplastic constitutive law. The contact is described with a normal damped response, unilateral constraint and memory term. In the analysis of this model we use the abstract result from the first part of the paper.

Plasma dynamics of a laser filamentation-guided spark
We investigate experimentally the plasma dynamics of a centimeter-scale, laser filamentation-guided spark discharge. Using electrical and optical diagnostics to study monopolar discharges with varying current pulses we show that plasma decay is dominated by free electron recombination if the current decay time is shorter than the recombination characteristic time. In the opposite case, the plasma electron density closely follows the current evolution. We demonstrate that this criterion holds true in the case of damped AC sparks, and that alternative current is the best option to achieve a long plasma lifetime for a given peak current.

A mathematical consideration of vortex thinning in 2D turbulence
In two dimensional turbulence, vortex thinning process is one of the attractive mechanism to explain inverse energy cascade in terms of vortex dynamics. By direct numerical simulation to the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with small-scale forcing and large-scale damping, Xiao-Wan-Chen-Eyink (2009) found an evidence that inverse energy cascade may proceed with the vortex thinning mechanism. The aim of this paper is to analyze the vortex-thinning mechanism mathematically (using the incompressible Euler equations), and give a mathematical evidence that large-scale vorticity gains energy from small-scale vorticity due to the vortex-thinning process.

Primordial density and BAO reconstruction
We present a new method to reconstruct the primordial (linear) density field using the estimated nonlinear displacement field. The divergence of the displacement field gives the reconstructed density field. We solve the nonlinear displacement field in the 1D cosmology and show the reconstruction results. The new reconstruction algorithm recovers a lot of linear modes and reduces the nonlinear damping scale significantly. The successful 1D reconstruction results imply the new algorithm should also be a promising technique in the 3D case.

Transverse Magneto-Optical Kerr Effect in Active Magneto-Plasmonic Structures
We propose a novel method to enhance the transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect (TMOKE) in the magneto-plasmonic (MP) nanostructures by means of the active dielectric layer. We report the theoretical analysis of the magnetoplasmonic structure with a ferromagnetic dielectric doped with rear-earth ions (Nd3+) as the example of a gain layer. The enhancement takes place near the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonances of the nanostructures. The stimulated emission of the dopants in the field of SPP wave partially compensates its losses. It is shown that due to a decrease of SPP damping a Q-factor of the MP resonance increases and the TMOKE is increased in comparison with the passive nanostructure.

Stochastic pure state representation for open quantum systems
We show that the usual master equation formalism of Markovian open quantum systems is completely equivalent to a certain state vector formalism. The state vector of the system satisfies a given frictional Schr\"odinger equation except for random instant transitions of discrete nature. Hasse's frictional Hamiltonian is recovered for the damped harmonic oscillator.

Direct-dynamical entanglement-discord relations
In this article, by considering Bell-diagonal two-qubit initial states submitted to local dynamics generated by the phase damping, bit flip, phase flip, bit-phase flip, and depolarizing channels, we report some elegant direct-dynamical relations between geometric measures of entanglement and discord. The complex scenario appearing already in this simplified case study indicates that similarly simple relation shall hardly be found in more general situations.

Pseudo steady-state non-Gaussian EPR-steering of massive particles in pumped and damped Bose-Hubbard dimers
We propose and analyse a pumped Bose-Hubbard dimer as a source of continuous-variable Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering with non-Gaussian statistics. We use the truncated Wigner representation to calculate third and fourth order cumulants, finding clear signals of non-Gaussianity. We also calculate the products of inferred quadrature variances which indicate that states demonstrating the EPR paradox are present. Our proposed experimental configuration is extrapolated from current experimental techniques and adds another possibility to the current toolbox of quantum atom optics.

Quantum correlations and entanglement in a model comprised of a short chain of nonlinear oscillators
We discuss a model comprised of a chain of three Kerr-like nonlinear oscillators pumped by two modes of external coherent field. We show that the system can be treated as nonlinear quantum scissors and behave as a three-qubit model. For such situation, different types of tripartite entangled states can be generated, even when damping effects are present in the system. Some amount of such entanglement can survive even in a long-time limit. The flow of bipartite entanglement between subsystems of the model and relations among first-order correlations, second-order correlations, and the entanglement are discussed.

Unifying Suspension and Granular flows near Jamming
Rheological properties of dense flows of hard particles are singular as one approaches the jamming threshold where flow ceases, both for granular flows dominated by inertia, and for over-damped suspensions. Concomitantly, the lengthscale characterizing velocity correlations appears to diverge at jamming. Here we review a theoretical framework that gives a scaling description of stationary flows of frictionless particles. Our analysis applies both to suspensions and inertial flows of hard particles. We report numerical results in support of the theory, and show the phase diagram that results when friction is added, delineating the regime of validity of the frictionless theory.

Interchange instability and transport in matter-antimatter plasmas
Symmetric electron-positron plasmas in inhomogeneous magnetic fields are intrinsically subject to interchange instability and transport. Scaling relations for the propagation velocity of density blob perturbations relevant to transport in isothermal magnetically confined electron-positron plasmas are deduced, including damping effects when Debye lengths are large compared to Larmor radii. The relations are verified by nonlinear full-F gyrofluid computations. Results are in favour of sufficient magnetic confinement for planned electron-positron plasma experiments. The model is generalised to other matter-antimatter plasmas. Magnetised electron-positron-proton-antiproton plasmas are susceptible to interchange driven local matter-antimatter separation, which can be expected to impede (so far unrealised) sustained laboratory magnetic confinement.

Superfluidity in Bose-Hubbard circuits
A semiclassical theory is provided for the metastability regime-diagram of atomtronic superfluid circuits. Such circuits typically exhibit high-dimensional chaos; and non-linear resonances that couple the Bogoliubov excitations manifest themselves. Contrary to the expectation these resonances do not originate from the familiar Beliaev and Landau damping terms. Rather, they are described by a variant of the Cherry Hamiltonian of celestial mechanics. Consequently we study the induced decay process, and its dependence on the number of sites and of condensed particles.

The formation of long-lived high-correlated states of light and polarization in high-quality semiconductor microcavity at the resonant laser excitation
The correlation function of radiation from a high-quality semiconductor microcavity at the resonant laser excitation demonstrates oscillations with surprisingly long-period and damping times of a nanosecond range. It was shown that the oscillations are not attributed to weak Rabi interaction between long-lived exciton states and intracavity electromagnetic field. The study of a response with high spectral resolution had revealed that the oscillations arise if a spectral position as well as a period of longitudinal laser modes is similar to modulation components of a microcavity transmission spectrum.

Perturbative dissipation dynamics of a weakly driven Jaynes-Cummings system
We generalize a microscopic master equation method to study the dissipation dynamics of Jaynes-Cummings two-level system with a weak external driving. Using perturbative analysis to extend the damping bases theory, we derive the corrected Rabi oscillation and vaccum Rabi splitting analytically. The evolution of the decoherence factor of the weakly driven system reveals that the off-diagonal density matrix elements are oscillating at a frequency dependent on the driving strength and the initial population inversion. For highly-inverted systems at the weak-driving limit, this frequency reduces to twice the value for the non-driven system, showing the dissipation dynamics unable to be discovered using more conventional approaches.

On renormalised solution for thermomechanical problem in perfect - plasticity
We consider the quasi-static evolution of the thermo-plasticity model in which the evolution equation law for the inelastic strain is given by the Prandtl-Reuss flow rule. The thermal part of the Cauchy stress tensor is not linearised in the neighbourhood of a references temperature. This nonlinear thermal part imposed to add a damping term to the balance of the momentum, which can be interpreted as external forces acting on the material. In general the dissipation term occurring in the heat equation is integrable function only and the standard methods can not be applied. Combining truncation techniques and Boccardo-Gallou\"et approach with monotone methods we prove an existence of renormalised solutions.

Relaxation mechanism driven by spin angular momentum absorption throughout antiferromagnetic phase transition in NiFe surface oxides
We report an alternative mechanism for the physical origin of the temperature-dependent ferromagnetic relaxation of Permalloy (NiFe) thin films. Through spin-pumping experiments, we demonstrate that the peak in the temperature-dependence of NiFe damping can be understood in terms of enhanced spin angular momentum absorption at the magnetic phase transition in antiferromagnetic surface-oxidized layers. These results suggest new avenues for the investigation of an incompletely-understood phenomenon in physics.

On the rotationally driven pevatron in the centre of the Milky Way
Based on the collective linear and nonlinear processes in a magnetized plasma surrounding the black hole at the galactic center (GC), an acceleration mechanism is proposed to explain the recent detection/discovery of PeV protons. In a two stage process, the gravitation energy is first converted to the electrical energy in fast growing Langmuir waves, and then the electrical energy is transformed to the particle kinetic energy through Landau damping of waves. It is shown that, for the characteristics parameters of GC plasma, proton energy can be boosted upto 5PeV.

Microscopic derivation of the hydrodynamics of active-Brownian-particle suspensions
We derive the hydrodynamic equations of motion for a fluid of active particles described by under- damped Langevin equations that reduce to the Active-Brownian-Particle model, in the overdamped limit. The contraction into the hydrodynamic description is performed by locally averaging the par- ticle dynamics with the non-equilibrium many-particle probability density, whose formal expression is found in the physically relevant limit of high-friction through a multiple-time-scale analysis. This approach permits to identify the conditions under which self-propulsion can be subsumed into the fluid stress tensor and thus to define systematically and unambiguously the local pressure of the active fluid.

Anomalous temperature-dependent heat transport in one-dimensional momentum-conserving systems with soft-type interparticle interaction
We here numerically investigate the heat transport behavior in a one-dimensional lattice with a soft-type (ST) anharmonic interparticle interaction. It is found that with the increase of system's temperature, while the introduction of ST anharmonicity softens phonons and decreases their velocities, this type of nonlinearity like its counterpart of hard type (HT), can still not be able to fully damp the longest wave phonons. Therefore, an anomalous temperature dependent heat transport with certain scaling properties similarly to those in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam like systems with HT interactions can be seen. Our detailed examination from simulations well verify this temperature dependent behavior.

Analysis of a remarkable singularity in a nonlinear DDE
In this work we investigate the dynamics of the nonlinear DDE (delay-differential equation) x''(t)+x(t-T)+x(t)^3=0 where T is the delay. For T=0 this system is conservative and exhibits no limit cycles. For T>0, no matter how small, an infinite number of limit cycles exist, their amplitudes going to infinity in the limit as T approaches zero. We investigate this situation in three ways: 1) Harmonic Balance, 2) Melnikov's integral, and 3) Adding damping to regularize the singularity.

Molecular Plasmonics: strong coupling at the low molecular density limit
We study the strong coupling between the molecular excited state and the plasmonic modes of silver hole arrays with a resonant frequency very close to the asymptotic line of the plasmonic dispersion relation, at the nonlinear regime. We demonstrate that the strong coupling regime can be achieved between the two sub-systems at low molecular densities with negligible damping of the electromagnetic field. Our results are supported by rigorous numerical simulations showing that the strong coupling is observed when the molecular transition lies within the nonlinear regime of the dispersion relation rather than the linear regime.

Super quantum discord for general two qubit X states
The exact solutions of the super quantum discord are derived for general two qubit X states in terms of a one-variable function. Several exact solutions of the super quantum discord are given for the general X-state over nontrivial regions of a seven dimensional manifold. It is shown that the super quantum discord of the X state may increase or decreases under the phase damping channel.

Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations with memory in 3D lacking instantaneous kinematic viscosity
We consider a Navier-Stokes-Voigt fluid model where the instantaneous kinematic viscosity has been completely replaced by a memory term incorporating hereditary effects, in presence of Ekman damping. The dissipative character of our model is weaker than the one where hereditary and instantaneous viscosity coexist, previously studied by Gal and Tachim-Medjo. Nevertheless, we prove the existence of a regular exponential attractor of finite fractal dimension under rather sharp assumptions on the memory kernel.

Quantum discord protection of a two-qutrit V-type atomic system from decoherence by partially collapsing measurements
In this paper, by exploiting the weak measurement and quantum measurement re- versal (WMQMR) procedure, we propose a scheme to show how one can protect the geometric quantum discord (GQD) of a two-qutrit V-type atomic system each of which interacts with a dissipative reservoir independently. We examine the scheme for the GQD of the initial two-qutrit Werner and Horodecki states for different classes of weak mea- surement strengthes. It is found out that the presented protocol enables us to suppress decoherence due to the amplitude damping (AD) channel and preserve the quantum dis- cord of the two-qutrit system successfully.

Global existence and decay rate of strong solution to incompressible Oldroyd type model equations
This paper investigates the global existence and the decay rate in time of a solution to the Cauchy problem for an incompressible Oldroyd model with a deformation tensor damping term. There are three major results. The first is the global existence of the solution for small initial data. Second, we derive the sharp time decay of the solution in $L^{2}-$norm. Finally, the sharp time decay of the solution of higher order Sobolev norms is obtained.

Hydrodynamic fluctuations near a critical endpoint and Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry
The field of high energy nuclear collisions has witnessed a surge of interest in the role played by hydrodynamic fluctuations. Hydrodynamic fluctuations may have significant effects on matter created in heavy-ion accelerators whose trajectories in the plane of temperature versus chemical potential pass near a possible critical endpoint. We extend previous studies to explore the impact of these fluctuations on Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry of identical hadrons. With an appropriately defined correlation function we find that the fluctuations increase substantially when the trajectory passes near a critical endpoint, and also displays a damped oscillatory behavior in the rapidity distance $\Delta y$ unlike that originating from initial-state fluctuations.

The HTL resumed propagators in the light cone gauge
The expression of the HTL resumed gluon propagator in the light cone gauge is derived. In the real time mechanism, using the Mandelstam Leibbrant prescription of $(n\cdot K)^{-1}$, we calculate the transverse and longitudinal parts of the gluon HTL self-energy and prove the transverse and longitudinal parts do not have divergence. We also calculate the quark self energy in the HTL approximation, and find it gauge independent. We analytically calculate the damping rates of the hard quark and gluon with this HTL resumed gluon propagator.

Magnetization reversal by superconducting current in $\varphi_0$ Josephson junctions
We study magnetization reversal in a $\varphi_0$ Josephson junction with direct coupling between magnetic moment and Josephson current. Our simulations of magnetic moment dynamics show that by applying an electric current pulse, we can realize the full magnetization reversal. We propose different protocols of full magnetization reversal based on the variation of the Josephson junction and pulse parameters, particularly, electric current pulse amplitude, damping of magnetization and spin-orbit interaction. We discuss experiments which can probe the magnetization reversal in $\varphi_0$-junctions.

Integrable RCS as a proposed replacement for Fermilab Booster
Integrable optics is an innovation in particle accelerator design that potentially enables a greater betatron tune spread and damps collective instabilities. An integrable rapid-cycling synchrotron (RCS) would be an effective replacement for the Fermilab Booster, as part of a plan to reach multi-MW beam power at 120 GeV for the Fermilab high-energy neutrino program. We provide an example integrable lattice with features of a modern RCS - dispersion-free drifts, low momentum compaction factor, superperiodicity, chromaticity correction, bounded beta functions, and separate-function magnets.

Spin-orbit effective fields in Pt/GdFeCo bilayers
In the increasing interests on spin-orbit torque (SOT) with various magnetic materials, we investigated SOT in rare earth-transition metal ferrimagnetic alloys. The harmonic Hall measurements were performed in Pt/GdFeCo bilayers to quantify the effective fields resulting from the SOT. It is found that the damping-like torque rapidly increases near the magnetization compensation temperature TM of the GdFeCo, which is attributed to the reduction of the net magnetic moment.

Antibunching in an optomechanical oscillator
We theoretically analyze antibunching of the phonon field in an optomechanical oscillator employ- ing the membrane-in-the-middle geometry. More specifically, a single-mode mechanical oscillator is quadratically coupled to a single-mode cavity field in the regime in which the cavity dissipation is a dominant source of damping, and adiabatic elimination of the cavity field leads to an effective cubic nonlinearity for the mechanics. We show analytically in the weak coupling regime that the mechan- ics displays a chaotic phonon field for small optomechanical cooperativity, whereas an antibunched single-phonon field appears for large optomechanical cooperativity. This opens the door to control of the second-order correlation function of a mechanical oscillator in the weak coupling regime.

Dark matter kinetic decoupling with a light particle
We argue that the acoustic damping of the matter power spectrum is not a generic feature of the kinetic decoupling of dark matter, but even the enhancement can be realized depending on the nature of the kinetic decoupling when compared to that in the standard cold dark matter model. We consider a model that exhibits a ${\it sudden}$ kinetic decoupling and investigate cosmological perturbations in the ${\it standard}$ cosmological background numerically in the model. We also give an analytic discussion in a simplified setup. Our results indicate that the nature of the kinetic decoupling could have a great impact on small scale density perturbations.

A review on Asteroseismology
Over the last decade, thanks to the successful space missions launched to detect stellar pulsations, Asteroseismology has produced an extraordinary revolution in astrophysics, unveiling a wealth of results on structural properties of stars over a large part of the H-R diagram. Particularly impressive has been the development of Asteroseismology for stars showing solar-like oscillations, which are excited and intrinsically damped in stars with convective envelopes. Here I will review on the modern era of Asteroseismology with emphasis on results obtained for solar-like stars and discuss its potential for the advancement of stellar physics.

Behavior of the impurity atom in a weakly-interacting Bose gas
We studied the properties of a single impurity atom immersed in a dilute Bose condensate at low temperatures. In particular, we perturbatively obtained the momentum dependence of the impurity spectrum and damping. By means of the Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory we also calculated the self-energy both for attractive and repulsive polaron in the long-wavelength limit. The stability problem of the impurity atom in a weakly-interacting Bose gas is also examined.

A Fourier-Chebyshev Spectral Method for Cavitation Computation in Nonlinear Elasticity
A Fourier-Chebyshev spectral method is proposed in this paper for solving the cavitation problem in nonlinear elasticity. The interpolation error for the cavitation solution is analyzed, the elastic energy error estimate for the discrete cavitation solution is obtained, and the convergence of the method is proved. An algorithm combined a gradient type method with a damped quasi-Newton method is applied to solve the discretized nonlinear equilibrium equations. Numerical experiments show that the Fourier-Chebyshev spectral method is efficient and capable of producing accurate numerical cavitation solutions.

Clock frequency estimation under spontaneous emission
We investigate the quantum dynamics of a driven two-level system under spontaneous emission and its application in clock frequency estimation. By using a Lindblad equation to describe the system, we analytically obtain its exact solutions, which show three different regimes: Rabi oscillation, damped oscillation and overdamped decay. From the analytical solutions, we explore how the spontaneous emission affects the clock frequency estimation. We find that, under a modest spontaneous emission rate, the transition frequency can still be inferred from the Rabi oscillation. Our results provide potential practical applications in frequency measurement and quantum control under decoherence.

We study a coupled fluid-structure system involving boundary conditions on the pressure. The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations in a 2D rectangular type domain where the upper part of the domain is described by a damped Euler--Bernoulli beam equation. Existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions without assumptions of smallness on the initial data is proved.

The Effect of Electron Lens as Landau Damping Device on Single Particle Dynamics in HL-LHC
An electron lens can serve as an effective mechanism for suppressing coherent instabilities in high intensity storage rings through nonlinear amplitude dependent betatron tune shift. However, the addition of a strong localized nonlinear focusing element to the accelerator lattice may lead to undesired effects in particle dynamics. We evaluate the effect of a Gaussian electron lens on single particle motion in HL-LHC using numerical tracking simulations, and compare the results to the case when an equal tune spread is generated by conventional octupole magnets.

Gradient expansion formalism for generic spin torques
We propose a new quantum-mechanical formalism to calculate spin torques based on the gradient expansion, which naturally involves spacetime gradients of the magnetization and electromagnetic fields. We have no assumption in the small-amplitude formalism or no difficulty in the SU($2$) gauge transformation formalism. As a representative, we calculate the spin renormalization, Gilbert damping, spin-transfer torque, and $\beta$-term in a three-dimensional ferromagnetic metal with nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities being taken into account within the self-consistent Born approximation. Our results serve as a first-principles formalism for spin torques.

In particular, a rigorous justification of two classical models, the Kuznetsov and Westervelt equations, retained as limiting systems for consistent initial data, is given. Numerical comparisons that confirm and complement the theoretical results are provided in Part~II.

Short Wavelength Geodesic Acoustic Mode Excitation by Energetic Particles
Taking the collisionless damping of geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) as an example, the physics processes underlying wave particle resonances in the short wavelength limit are clarified. As illus- trative application, GAM excitation by energetic particles in short wavelength limit is investigated assuming a single pitch angle slowing-down fast ion equilibrium distribution function. Conditions for this energetic particle-induced GAM (EGAM) to be unstable are discussed.

Convex approximations of quantum channels
We address the problem of optimally approximating the action of a desired and unavailable quantum channel $\Phi $ having at our disposal a single use of a given set of other channels $\{\Psi_i \}$. The problem is recast to look for the least distinguishable channel from $\Phi $ among the convex set $\sum_i p_i \Psi_i$, and the corresponding optimal weights $\{ p_i \}$ provide the optimal convex mixing of the available channels $\{\Psi_i \}$. For single-qubit channels we study specifically the cases where the available convex set corresponds to covariant channels or to Pauli channels, and the desired target map is an arbitrary unitary transformation or a generalized damping channel.

Explicit Backbone Curves from Spectral Submanifolds of Forced-Damped Nonlinear Mechanical Systems
Spectral submanifolds (SSMs) have recently been shown to provide exact and unique reduced-order models for nonlinear unforced mechanical vibrations. Here we extend these results to periodically or quasiperiodically forced mechanical systems, obtaining analytic expressions for forced responses and backbone curves on modal (i.e. two-dimensional) time dependent SSMs. A judicious choice of the parameterization of these SSMs allows us to simplify the reduced dynamics considerably. We demonstrate our analytical formulae on three numerical examples and compare them to results obtained from available normal form methods.

Orbital-Free Density-Functional Theory Simulations of Displacement Cascade in Aluminum
Here, we report orbital-free density-functional theory (OF DFT) molecular dynamics simulations of the displacement cascade in aluminum. The electronic effect is our main concern. The displacement threshold energies are calculated using OF DFT and classical molecular dynamics (MD) and the comparison reveals the role of charge bridge. Compared to MD simulation, the displacement spike from OF DFT has a lower peak and shorter duration time, which is attributed to the effect of electronic damping. The charge density profiles clearly display the existence of depleted zones, vacancy and interstitial clusters. And it is found that the energy exchanges between ions and electrons are mainly contributed by the kinetic energies.

Damped Casimir radiation and photon correlation measurements
An effective toy model for an ideal one-dimensional nonstationary cavity is taken to be the starting point to derive a fitting markovian master equation for the corresponding leaky cavity. In the regime where the generation of photons via the dynamical Casimir effect is bounded, the master equation thus constructed allows us to investigate the effects of decoherence on the average number of Casimir photons and their quantum fluctuations through the second-order correlation function.

Markovian master equation for nonlinear systems
Within the f-deformed oscillator formalism, we derive a Markovian master equation for the description of the damped dynamics of nonlinear systems that interact with their environment. The applicability of this treatment to the particular case of a Morse-like oscillator interacting with a thermal field is illustrated, and the decay of quantum coherence in such a system is analyzed in terms of the evolution on phase space of its nonlinear coherent states via the Wigner function.

On the De Gregorio modification of the Constantin-Lax-Majda Model
We study a modification due to De Gregorio of the Constantin-Lax-Majda (CLM) model $\omega_t = \omega H\omega$ on the unit circle. The De Gregorio equation is $\omega_t+u \omega_x-u_x\omega =0, u_x = H\omega.$ In contrast with the CLM model, numerical simulations suggest that the solutions of the De Gregorio model with smooth initial data exist globally for all time, and generically converge to equilibria when $t\to\pm\infty$, in a way resembling inviscid damping. We prove that such a behavior takes place near a manifold of equilibria.

A Locking-free DP-Q2-P1 MFEM for Incompressible Nonlinear Elasticity Problems
A mixed finite element method (MFEM), using dual-parametric piecewise bi-quadratic and affine (DP-Q2-P1) finite element approximations for the deformation and the pressure like Lagrange multiplier respectively, is developed and analyzed for the numerical computation of incompressible nonlinear elasticity problems with large deformation gradient, and a damped Newton method is applied to solve the resulted discrete problem. The method is proved to be locking free and stable. The accuracy and efficiency of the method are illustrated by numerical experiments on some typical cavitation problems.

An infinite dimensional Duffing-like evolution equation with linear dissipation and an asymptotically small source term
We consider an abstract nonlinear second order evolution equation, inspired by some models for damped oscillations of a beam subject to external loads or magnetic fields, and shaken by a transversal force. When there is no external force, the system has three stationary positions, two stable and one unstable, and all solutions are asymptotic for $t$ large to one of these stationary solutions.We show that this pattern extends to the case where the external force is bounded and small enough, in the sense that solutions can exhibit only three different asymptotic behaviors.

The effects of retardation on the topological plasmonic chain: plasmonic edge states beyond the quasistatic limit
We study a one-dimensional plasmonic system with non-trivial topology: a chain of metallic nanoparticles with alternating spacing, which is the plasmonic analogue to the Su-Schreiffer-Heeger model. We extend previous efforts by including long range hopping with retardation and radiative damping, which leads to a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with frequency dependence. We calculate band structures numerically and show that topological features such as quantised Zak phase persist due to chiral symmetry. This predicts parameters leading to topologically protected edge modes, which allows for positioning of disorder-robust hotspots at topological interfaces, opening up novel nanophotonics applications.

Is a doubly quantized vortex dynamically unstable in uniform superfluids?
We revisit the fundamental problem of the splitting instability of a doubly quantized vortex in uniform single-component superfluids at zero temperature. We analyze the system-size dependence of the excitation frequency of a doubly quantized vortex through large-scale simulations of the Bogoliubov--de Gennes equation, and find that the system remains dynamically unstable even in the infinite-system-size limit. Perturbation and semi-classical theories reveal that the splitting instability radiates a damped oscillatory phonon as an opposite counterpart of a quasi-normal mode.

Breathers as Metastable States for the Discrete NLS equation
We study metastable motions in weakly damped Hamiltonian systems. These are believed to inhibit the transport of energy through Hamiltonian, or nearly Hamiltonian, systems with many degrees of freedom. We investigate this question in a very simple model in which the breather solutions that are thought to be responsible for the metastable states can be computed perturbatively to an arbitrary order. Then, using a modulation hypothesis, we derive estimates for the rate at which the system drifts along this manifold of periodic orbits and verify the optimality of our estimates numerically.

Optical two-photon nonlinear waves in two-dimensional materials
A theory of an optical two-photon breather in a graphene monolayer (or graphene-like two-dimensional material) is constructed. The system of the material equations for two-photon transitions and the wave equation for transverse magnetic polarized modes of the surface plasmon polaritons are shown to reduce to the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with damping. Explicit analytical expressions for a surface small intensity two-photon breather (0$\pi$ pulse) of self-induced transparency are obtained. It is shown that the optical conductivity of graphene reduces the amplitude of the surface two-photon nonlinear wave during the propagation. The one-photon and two-photon breathers in graphene are compared and have obtained that the differences between their parameters are significant.

Polaron in the dilute critical Bose condensate
The properties of impurity immersed in the dilute $D$-dimensional Bose gas at temperatures close to the second-order phase transition point are considered. Particularly by means of the $1/N$-expansion we calculated the leading-order polaron energy and the damping rate in the limit of vanishing boson-boson interaction. It is show that the perturbative effective mass and the quasiparticle residue diverge logarithmically in the long-length limit signalling the non-analytic behavior of impurity spectrum and a non-pole structure of a polaron Green's function in the infrared region, respectively.

Stationary Distributions of Second Order Stochastic Evolution Equations with Memory in Hilbert Spaces
In this paper, we consider stationarity of a class of second-order stochastic evolution equations with memory, driven by Wiener processes or Levy jump processes, in Hilbert spaces. The strategy is to formulate by reduction some first-order systems in connection with the stochastic equations under investigation. We develop asymptotic behavior of dissipative second-order equations and then apply them to time delay systems through Gearhart-Pruss-Greiner's theorem. The stationary distribution of the system under consideration is the projection on the first coordinate of the corresponding stationary results of a lift-up stochastic system without delay on some product Hilbert space. Last, an example of stochastic damped delay wave equations with memory is presented to illustrate our theory.

On the stabilization of a hyperbolic Stokes system under geometric control condition
In this paper, we study the stabilization problem for a hyperbolic type Stokes system posed on a bounded domain. We show that when the damping effects are restricted to a subdomain satisfying the geometrical control condition the system decays exponentially. The result is a consequence of a new quasi-mode estimate for the Stokes system.

Electrostatic stability of electron-positron plasmas in dipole geometry
The electrostatic stability of electron-positron plasmas is investigated in the point-dipole and Z-pinch limits of dipole geometry. The kinetic dispersion relation for sub-bounce-frequency instabilities is derived and solved. For the zero-Debye-length case, the stability diagram is found to exhibit singular behavior. However, when the Debye length is non-zero, a fluid mode appears, which resolves the observed singularity, and also demonstrates that both the temperature and density gradients can drive instability. It is concluded that a finite Debye length is necessary to determine the stability boundaries in parameter space. Landau damping is investigated at scales sufficiently smaller than the Debye length, where instability is absent.

Fluctuations through a Vibrating Bounce
We study the evolution of cosmological perturbations in a non-singular bouncing cosmology with a bounce phase which has superimposed oscillations of the scale factor. We identify length scales for which the final spectrum of fluctuations obtains imprints of the non-trivial bounce dynamics. These imprints in the spectrum are manifested in the form of damped oscillation features at scales smaller than a characteristic value and an increased reddening of the spectrum at all the scales as the number of small bounces increases.

Speeding up Thermalisation via Open Quantum System Variational Optimisation
Optimizing open quantum system evolution is an important step on the way to achieving quantum computing and quantum thermodynamic tasks. In this article, we approach optimisation via variational principles and derive an open quantum system variational algorithm explicitly for Lindblad evolution in Liouville space. As an example of such control over open system evolution, we control the thermalisation of a qubit attached to a thermal Lindbladian bath with a damping rate $\gamma$. Since thermalisation is an asymptotic process and the variational algorithm we consider is for fixed time, we present a way to discuss the potential speedup of thermalisation that can be expected from such variational algorithms.

Pulsations in close binaries from the BRITE point of view
Using BRITE photometric data for several close binary systems we address the problem of damping pulsations in close binary systems due to proximity effects. Because of small number statistics, no firm conclusion is given, but we find pulsations in three relatively close binaries. The pulsations in these binaries have, however, very low amplitudes.

Non-Gaussianity of multiple photon subtracted thermal states in terms of compound-Poisson photon number distribution parameters: theory and experiment
The multiphoton-subtracted thermal states are an interesting example of quantum states of light which are both classical and non-Gaussian. All the properties of such states can be described by just two parameters of compound-Poisson photon number distribution. The non-Gaussianity dependency on these parameters has been calculated numerically and analytically. The loss of non-Gaussianity during the optical damping has been also studied experimentally.

Dynamically tunable metamaterial analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency with graphene in the terahertz regime
A novel mechanism to realize dynamically tunable electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) analogue in the terahertz (THz) regime is proposed. By putting the electrically controllable monolayer graphene under the dark resonator, the amplitude of the EIT resonance in the metal-based metamaterial can be modulated substantially via altering the Fermi level of graphene. The amplitude modulation can be attributed to the change in the damping rate of the dark mode caused by the recombination effect of the conductive graphene. This work provides an alternative way to achieve tunable slow light effect and has potential applications in THz wireless communications.

Frequency decay for Navier-Stokes stationary solutions
We consider stationary Navier-Stokes equations in R 3 with a regular external force and we prove exponential frequency decay of the solutions. Moreover, if the external force is small enough, we give a pointwise exponential frequency decay for such solutions according to the K41 theory. If a damping term is added to the equation, a pointwise decay is obtained without the smallness condition over the force.

Approximation of a damped Euler-Bernoulli beam model in the Loewner framework
The Loewner framework for model order reduction is applied to the class of infinite-dimension systems. The transfer function of such systems is irrational (as opposed to linear systems, whose transfer function is rational) and can be expressed as an infinite series of rational functions. The main advantage of the method is the fact that reduced orders models are constructed using only input-output measurements. The procedure can be directly applied to the original transfer function or to the one obtained from the finite element discretization of the PDE. Significantly better results are obtained when using it directly, as it is presented in the experiments section.

Wave propagation through an elastically-asymmetric architected material
A one-dimensional wave propagation through elastically asymmetric media is investigated. A class of metamaterials possessing an arbitrary elastic asymmetry is proposed. This asymmetry results in different wave speeds of tensile and compressive components of elastic waves. The faster component can overtake the slower one resulting in their dissipative annihilation through energy cascades. Efficient absorbing assemblies are presented and analysed numerically. The length of the asymmetric part needed to damp a harmonic signal is determined analytically and validated numerically. Transmission properties for random self-affine wave-packets are studied: a universal scaling for the transmission factor variation with the length of the asymmetric part was established.

Polaron in dilute 2D Bose gas at low temperatures
The properties of a Bose polaron immersed in a dilute two-dimensional medium at finite temperatures are discussed. Assuming that the impurity is weakly-coupled to the bath particles we have perturbatively calculated the polaron energy, effective mass, quasiparticle residue and damping rate. The parameters of impurity spectrum are found to be well-defined in the whole temperature region whereas the pole structure of the impurity Green's function is visible only at absolute zero. At any finite temperatures the quasiparticle residue is logarithmically divergent signalling of the branch-cut behavior of the polaron propagator.

On well-posedness of Ericksen-Leslie's parabolic-hyperbolic liquid crystal model in compressible flow
We study the Ericksen-Leslie's parabolic-hyperbolic liquid crystal model in compressible flow. Inspired by our study for incompressible case \cite{Jiang-Luo-arXiv-2017} and some techniques from compressible Navier-Stokes equations, we prove the local-in-time existence of the classical solution to the system with finite initial energy, under some constraints on the Leslie coefficients which ensure the basic energy law is dissipative. Furthermore, with an additional assumption on the coefficients which provides a damping effect, and the smallness of the initial energy, the global classical solution can be established.

A note on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in a general domain
We consider the Cauchy problem for nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations in a general domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N$. Construction of solutions has been only done by classical compactness method in previous results. Here, we construct solutions by a simple alternative approach. More precisely, solutions are constructed by proving that approximate solutions form a Cauchy sequence in some Banach space. We discuss three different types of nonlinearities: power type nonlinearities, logarithmic nonlinearities and damping nonlinearities.

On degenerate circular and shear flows: the point vortex and power law circular flows
We consider the problem of asymptotic stability and linear inviscid damping for perturbations of a point vortex and similar degenerate circular flows. Here, key challenges include the lack of strict monotonicity and the necessity of working in weighted Sobolev spaces whose weights degenerate as the radius tends to zero or infinity. Prototypical examples are given by circular flows with power law singularities or zeros as $r\downarrow 0$ or $r \uparrow \infty$.

Arbitrary-order functionally fitted energy-diminishing methods for gradient systems
It is well known that for gradient systems in Euclidean space or on a Riemannian manifold, the energy decreases monotonically along solutions. In this letter we derive and analyse functionally fitted energy-diminishing methods to preserve this key property of gradient systems. It is proved that the novel methods are unconditionally energy-diminishing and can achieve damping for very stiff gradient systems. We also show that the methods can be of arbitrarily high order and discuss their implementations. A numerical test is reported to illustrate the efficiency of the new methods in comparison with three existing numerical methods in the literature.

Decay of Benjamin - Ono solitons under the influence of dissipation
The adiabatic decay of Benjamin - Ono algebraic solitons is studied when the influence of various types of small dissipation and radiative losses due to large scale Coriolis dispersion are taken into consideration. The physically most important dissipations are studied, Rayleigh and Reynolds dissipation, Landau damping, dissipation in a laminar boundary layer and Chezy friction on a rough bottom. The decay laws for the soliton parameters, that is amplitude, velocity and width, are found in analytical form and are compared with the results of direct numerical modelling.

Decay of Kadomtsev - Petviashvili lumps in dissipative media
The decay of Kadomtsev - Petviashvili lumps is considered for a few typical dissipations - Rayleigh dissipation, Reynolds dissipation, Landau damping, Chezy bottom friction, viscous dissipation in the laminar boundary layer, and radiative losses caused by large-scale dispersion. It is shown that the straight-line motion of lumps is unstable under the influence of dissipation. The lump trajectories are calculated for two most typical models of dissipation - the Rayleigh and Reynolds dissipations. A comparison of analytical results obtained within the framework of asymptotic theory with the direct numerical calculations of the Kadomtsev - Petviashvili equation is presented. Good agreement between the theoretical and numerical results is obtained.

Long time instability of the Couette flow in low Gevrey spaces
We prove the instability of the Couette flow if the disturbances is less smooth than the Gevrey space of class 2. This shows that this is the critical regularity for this problem since it was proved in [5] that stability and inviscid damping hold for disturbances which are smoother than the Gevrey space of class 2. A big novelty is that this critical space is due to an instability mechanism which is completely nonlinear and is due to some energy cascade.

Uniform and non-uniform thermal switching of magnetic particles
The pulse-noise approach to systems of classical spins weakly interacting with the bath has been applied to study thermally-activated escape of magnetic nanoparticles over the uniform and nonuniform energy barriers at intermediate and low damping. The validity of approximating a single-domain particle by a single spin is investigated. Barriers for a non-uniform escape of elongated particles for the uniaxial model with transverse and longitudinal field have been worked out. Pulse-noise computations have been done for finite magnetic chains. The linear stability of the uniform barrier state has been investigated. The crossover between uniform and nonuniform barrier states has been studied with the help of the variational approach.

Dynamics of a Magnetic Needle Magnetometer: Sensitivity to Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert Damping
An analysis of a single-domain magnetic needle in the presence of an external magnetic field ${\bf B}$ is carried out with the aim of achieving a high precision magnetometer. We determine the uncertainty $\Delta B$ of such a device due to Gilbert dissipation and the associated internal magnetic field fluctuations that gives rise to diffusion of the magnetic needle axis direction ${\bf n}$ and the needle orbital angular momentum. The levitation of the magnetic needle in a magnetic trap and its stability are also analyzed.

Point-source dispersion of quasi-neutrally-buoyant inertial particles
We analyze the evolution of the distribution, both in the phase space and in the physical space, of inertial particles released by a spatially-localized (punctual) source and advected by an incompressible flow. The difference in mass density between fluid and particles is assumed as small, and represents the basic parameter for a regular perturbative expansion. By means of analytical techniques such as Hermitianization, we derive a chain of equations of the advection--diffusion--reaction type, easily solvable at least numerically. Our procedure provides results also for finite particle inertia, away from the over-damped limit of quasi-tracer dynamics.

Dynamics of measurement induced nonlocality under decoherence
Measurement Induced Nonlocality (MIN) captures nonlocal effects of a quantum state due to local von Neumann projective measurements, is a bonafide measure of quantum correlation between constituents of a composite system. In this paper, we study the dynamical behavior of entanglement (measured by concurrence), Hilber-Schmidt MIN and fidelity based MIN (FMIN) under local noisy channels such as hybrid (consists of bit, phase, bit and phase flip), generalized amplitude damping (GAD) and depolarizing channels for the initial Bell diagonal state. We observed that while sudden death of entanglement occur in hybrid and GAD channels, MIN and FMIN are more robust against such noise. Finally, we demonstrate the revival of MIN and FMIN after a dark point of time against depolarizing noise.

A proper choice of the interaction Hamiltonian acting within this manifold of states allows us to examine both the quantum typicality and the non-exponential relaxation in the same system. A quantitative agreement between the field-theoretical calculations and the exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian is demonstrated.

Searching for light from a dark matter clump

The accompanying bremsstrahlung may yield a gamma-ray excess with a known spectral shape that extends over an angular scale of $O(10^\circ)$. We show that such an excess is not present in Fermi-LAT data.

Further results on the asymptotic behavior of a 2D overhead crane with input delays: Exponential convergence
This article is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of a 2D overhead crane. Taking into account the presence of a delay in the boundary, and assuming that no displacement term appears in the system, a distributed (interior) damping feedback law is proposed in order to compensate the effect of the delay. Then, invoking the frequency domain method, the solutions of the closed-loop system are proved to converge exponentially to a stationary position. This improves the recent result obtained by Al-Musallam-Ammari-Chentouf, where the rate of convergence is at most of polynomial type.

An Invariant-region-preserving (IRP) Limiter to DG Methods for Compressible Euler Equations
We introduce an explicit invariant-region-preserving limiter applied to DG methods for compressible Euler equations. The invariant region considered consists of positivity of density and pressure and a maximum principle of a specific entropy. The modified polynomial by the limiter preserves the cell average, lies entirely within the invariant region and does not destroy the high order of accuracy for smooth solutions. Numerical tests are presented to illustrate the properties of the limiter. In particular, the tests on Riemann problems show that the limiter helps to damp the oscillations near discontinuities.

In particular, non-perturbative effects in the dispersion relation are studied when the standard perturbative inverse Landau damping treatment breaks down. We also elucidate how only the global distortion of the profile rather than the clump width is truly predictive of resonance overlap at saturation.

Implementation of Stochastic Quasi-Newton's Method in PyTorch
In this paper, we implement the Stochastic Damped LBFGS (SdLBFGS) for stochastic non-convex optimization. We make two important modifications to the original SdLBFGS algorithm. First, by initializing the Hessian at each step using an identity matrix, the algorithm converges better than original algorithm. Second, by performing direction normalization we could gain stable optimization procedure without line search. Experiments on minimizing a 2D non-convex function shows that our improved algorithm converges better than original algorithm, and experiments on the CIFAR10 and MNIST datasets show that our improved algorithm works stably and gives comparable or even better testing accuracies than first order optimizers SGD, Adagrad, and second order optimizers LBFGS in PyTorch.

Canonical Models of Dielectric Response
The interaction of electromagnetic fields with a solid is characterized by several interconnected response functions: the dielectric function $\varepsilon(\omega)$, index of refraction $N(\omega)$, conductivity $\sigma(\omega)$, and optical impedance $Z(\omega)$. Here we utilize three canonical models of dielectric response -- the damped harmonic oscillator, Debye polarization response, and the Drude model -- to discuss these four optical response functions. Special emphasis is devoted to the response of a Drude metal. Our main focus is on electromagnetic wave propagation through a material. We also discuss the relaxation of charge fluctuations within the context of the three canonical models of response.

We also study the optimization of the damping factor, the only parameter in Personalized PageRank.

The fluid is described by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in a 2D rectangular domain where the upper part depends on a structure satisfying a damped Euler-Bernoulli beam equation. The system is driven by time-periodic source terms on the inflow and outflow boundaries. We prove the existence of time-periodic strong solutions for this problem under smallness assumptions for the source terms.

The loss reveals three Debye loss peaks. Each peak corresponds to an Arrhenius-like relaxation process with activation energies of 17.9 meV, 65.4 meV and 123 meV respectively. Additional light induced damping was observed for photon energies below and above the fundamental gap of GaAs in contrast to observations by Okamoto et al.

Chaotic Synchronization between Atomic Clocks
We predict synchronization of the chaotic dynamics of two atomic ensembles coupled to a heavily damped optical cavity mode. The atoms are dissipated collectively through this mode and pumped incoherently to achieve a macroscopic population of the cavity photons. Even though the dynamics of each ensemble are chaotic, their motions repeat one another. In our system, chaos first emerges via quasiperiodicity and then synchronizes. We identify the signatures of synchronized chaos, chaos, and quasiperiodicity in the experimentally observable power spectra of the light emitted by the cavity.

Nonlinear Dynamics Semi-classical Model of Quantum Spin
A nonlinear dynamics semi-classical model is used to show that standard quantum spin analysis can be obtained. The model includes a classically driven nonlinear differential equation with dissipation and a semi-classical interpretation of the torque on a spin magnetic moment in the presence of a realistic magnetic field, which will represent two equilibrium positions. The highly complicated driven nonlinear dissipative semi-classical model is used to introduce chaos, which is necessary to produce the correct statistical quantum results. The resemblance between this semi-classical spin model and the thoroughly studied classical driven-damped nonlinear pendulum are shown and discussed.
