It is well known that the Gaussian wave packet dynamics can be written in terms of Hamilton equations in the extended phase space that is twice as large as in the corresponding classical system. We construct several generalizations of this approach that include non-Gausssian wave packets. These generalizations lead to the further extension of the phase space while retaining the Hamilton structure of the equations of motion. We compare the Gaussian dynamics with these non-Gaussian extensions for a particle with the quartic potential.

A new method for the study of resonant behavior - using wave-packet dynamics - is presented, based on the powerful window operator technique. The method is illustrated and quantified by application to the astrophysically-important example of low-energy $^{12}$C + $^{12}$C collisions. For this selected, potential model test case, the technique is shown to provide both resonance energies and widths in agreement with alternative methods, such as complex-energy scattering-matrix pole searches and scattering phase-shift analyses. The method has a more general capability to study resonance phenomena across disciplines, that involve particles temporarily trapped by potential pockets.
A microscopic derivation of the master equation for the Jaynes-Cummings model with cavity losses is given, taking into account the terms in the dissipator which vary with frequencies of the order of the vacuum Rabi frequency. Our approach allows to single out physical contexts wherein the usual phenomenological dissipator turns out to be fully justified and constitutes an extension of our previous analysis [Scala M. {em et al.} 2007 Phys. Rev. A {bf 75}, 013811], where a microscopic derivation was given in the framework of the Rotating Wave Approximation.
The entanglement dynamics of two remote qubits is examined analytically. The qubits interact arbitrarily strongly with separate harmonic oscillators in the idealized degenerate limit of the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. In contrast to well known non-degenerate RWA results, it is shown that ideally degenerate qubits cannot induce bipartite entanglement between their partner oscillators.
We consider semiclassical higher-order wave packet solutions of the Schrodinger equation with phase vortices. The vortex line is aligned with the propagation direction, and the wave packet carries a well-defined orbital angular momentum (OAM) $hbar l$ ($l$ is the vortex strength) along its main linear momentum. The probability current coils around momentum in such OAM states of electrons. In an electric field, these states evolve like massless particles with spin $l$. The magnetic-monopole Berry curvature appears in momentum space, which results in a spin-orbit-type interaction and a Berry/Magnus transverse force acting on the wave packet. This brings about the OAM Hall effect. In a magnetic field, there is a Zeeman interaction, which, can lead to more complicated dynamics.
We compute an $s$-channel $2to2$ scalar scattering $phiphitoPhitophiphi$ in the Gaussian wave-packet formalism at the tree-level. We find that wave-packet effects, including shifts of the pole and width of the propagator of $Phi$, persist even when we do not take into account the time-boundary effect for $2to2$, proposed earlier. The result can be interpreted that a heavy scalar $1to2$ decay $Phitophiphi$, taking into account the production of $Phi$, does not exhibit the in-state time-boundary effect unless we further take into account in-boundary effects for the $2to2$ scattering. We also show various plane-wave limits.
