Quantum speed limits: from Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle to optimal quantum control (2017, background): “Consequently, Chen et al. [267] generalised Hergerfeldt’s earlier work [116,132] to two models, namely one describing standard BECs, i~ d dt |ψ〉 = [( Γ(t) + κ ( |ψ1|2 − |ψ2|2 )) σz + ω(t)σx ] |ψ〉 (145) where where ψ1 and ψ2 are probability amplitudes of two possible states, κ describes the interacti”
Anomalous Diffusion: A Basic Mechanism for the Evolution of Inhomogeneous Systems (2019, unknown): “[22], “One was the Smoluchowski equation describing the motion of a diffusive particle in an external force field, known in the Western literature as the Fokker-Planck equation [23, 24]””
Statistical mechanics of ecological systems: Neutral theory and beyond (2015, background): “It is noteworthy that, unlike the conventional classical treatment (Huang, 2001), where an additional factor of N! is obtained, here one gets the correct Boltzmann counting and thereby avoids the well-known Gibbs paradox (Huang, 2001).”
