# gst: turbulent pair dispersion with stochastic generative diffusion models.


<< ️Recent advances in data-driven modeling have shown that diffusion models can successfully generate synthetic Lagrangian trajectories in turbulent flows. Building on this progress, (AA) extend the method to the joint generation of pairs of Lagrangian velocity trajectories, enabling a fully data-driven representation of turbulent pair dispersion, a long-standing fundamental problem with broad relevance in fluid dynamics. >>

<< ️(They) demonstrate that diffusion models accurately reproduce the evolution of particle-pair separation, including deviations from Richardson's classical scaling law, while simultaneously preserving all key single-particle statistical properties reported in previous studies. These findings underscore the potential of diffusion-based generative models to emulate high-dimensional, multi-scale turbulent dynamics, further establishing them as a powerful tool for scientific modeling and for future geophysical and astrophysical applications. >>

# gst: chaos and quantum tunneling.

<< ️In generic Hamiltonian systems that are neither completely integrable nor fully chaotic, phase space consists of a mixture of regular and chaotic components. In classical dynamics, transitions between different invariant sets in phase space are strictly forbidden, and these sets act as dynamical barriers to one another. In quantum mechanics, in contrast, wave effects allow transitions through such dynamical barriers. This process, known as dynamical tunneling, refers to penetration through dynamical barriers in phase space and was first recognized in the early 1980s. Since then, various aspects of dynamical tunneling have been elucidated, significantly advancing our understanding of such a novel quantum phenomenon. >>

<< ️In this article, (AA) provide an overview of several phenomenological perspectives of dynamical tunneling, including chaos-assisted and resonance-assisted tunneling, and also introduce approaches based on classical mechanics extended into the complex domain. In particular, (They) seek to clarify what is meant by the common claim that "chaos leads to an enhancement of the tunneling probability", which is often made when dynamical tunneling is dressed. (They) discuss what regime this refers to and, if such an enhancement occurs, what its likely origin is. >>

# gst: quantum walk on a random comb.

<< ️(AA) study continuous time quantum walk on a random comb graph with infinite teeth. Due to localization effects along the spine, the walk cannot go to infinity in the spine direction, while it can escape to infinity along the teeth of the comb. Starting from an initial vertex the walk has a nonzero probability to stay trapped in a finite region. These results are obtained by studying the spectrum and eigenstates of the random Hamiltonian for the graph and analysing its properties. (They) use both analytic and numerical methods many of which come from the theory of Anderson localization in one dimension. >>

# gst: dispersive shock waves in periodic lattices.

<< ️(AA) introduce and systematically investigate the generation of dispersive shock waves, which arise naturally in physical settings such as optical waveguide arrays and superfluids confined within optical lattices. The underlying physically relevant model is a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation with a periodic potential. (They) consider the evolution of piecewise smooth initial data composed of two distinct nonlinear periodic eigenmodes. >>

<< ️️The resulting tight-binding approximation is shown to display higher-fidelity for deeper periodic potentials. This reduced (discrete) DNLS model effectively models the dynamics at the minima of the periodic potential of the original continuum NLS. >>

# gst: unidirectional flow from continuous broken symmetries.

<< ️Locally broken symmetries are used across fields to transport matter, particles and information in preferential directions. Beyond local mechanisms, spatially distributed nonlinearities in crystalline media have enabled non-reciprocal transport, a rectification mechanism that operates continuously across scales and frequencies. Here, (AA) show that this concept applies beyond condensed matter, to fluid transport in living organisms and artificial systems. >>

<< ️(They) take the example of the lymphatic vascular system, which transports interstitial fluid in mammals, and demonstrate that distributed leaflets act as continuous broken symmetries. (They) build an artificial model of a collecting lymphatic and investigate the naturally richer dynamics of unidirectional transport that arises from spatiotemporal excitations. (They) observe robust and scalable transport for any waveshape and external pressure gradients. (They) show experimentally and theoretically that the contraction wavelength, directionality, and pulsatility control the flow rate. In particular, (They) counterintuitively find waveshapes that maximize transport when propagating against the direction of the flow. >>

<< ️Overall, (Their) findings advance the understanding of unidirectional fluid transport in living systems and beyond, and reveal how coupling nonlinearities with spatiotemporal excitations can tune such transport across fields. >>

# gst: extreme (rogue) waves; from theory to experiments.

<< ️In this Chapter, (AA) review key theoretical and experimental advances in the study of extreme nonlinear wave events, called rogue waves (RWs), in both single-component attractively interacting and two-component repulsive mixtures of ultracold quantum gases. Starting from the exact rational solutions of the integrable focusing nonlinear Schroedinger model, the hierarchy of RW solutions is exemplified. These range from the Peregrine soliton (PS) and, related to it, the destabilization into a multi-peak cascade of PSs dubbed "Christmas-tree", to the Akhmediev breather, and Kuznetsov-Ma soliton as well as higher-order RWs. Emphasis is placed on their controllable dynamical emergence and characteristics in non-integrable quantum many-body systems described by Gross-Pitaevskii models and extensions thereof through different protocols such as modulational instability, gradient catastrophe, and dam-break flows. >>

<< ️(They) further discuss how immiscible particle-imbalanced repulsive mixtures can be cast into effective attractive single-component environments capable of hosting RWs. Next, state-of-the-art experimental techniques are summarized within the ultracold realm that can be utilized to realize solitary waves, modulational instability, dispersive shock waves and RWs including the very recent first experimental observation of the PS, enabled through engineered effective focusing interactions and precise dynamical triggering. >>

<< ️Observations of these extreme events in water waves, nonlinear optics and beyond are also outlined, highlighting their broader relevance and potential of emergence in disparate physical settings. (Their) exposition aims at showcasing ultracold atomic gases as versatile platforms for controllably generating and probing extreme nonlinear events, among others, in the quantum realm across integrable and non-integrable settings. >>
