Experiments on particles motion in living cells show that it is often subdiffusive. This subdiffusion may be due to trapping, percolation-like structures, or viscoelatic behavior of the medium. While the models based on trapping (leading to continuous-time random walks) can easily be distinguished from the rest by testing their non-ergodicity, the latter two cases are harder to distinguish. We propose a statistical test for distinguishing between these two based on the space-filling properties of trajectories, and prove its feasibility and specificity using synthetic data. We moreover present a flow-chart for making a decision on a type of subdiffusion for a broader class of models.

In this paper, we study the basic problem of a charged particle in a stochastic magnetic field. We consider dichotomous fluctuations of the magnetic field {where the sojourn time in one of the two states are distributed according to a given waiting time distribution either with Poisson or non-Poisson statistics, including as well the case of distributions with diverging mean time between changes of the field}, corresponding to an ergodicity breaking condition. We provide analytical and numerical results for all cases evaluating the average and the second moment of the position and velocity of the particle. We show that the field fluctuations induce diffusion of the charge with either normal or anomalous properties, depending on the statistics of the fluctuations, with distinct regimes from those observed, e.g., in standard Continuous Time Random Walk models.
We investigate the possibility to control localization properties of the asymptotic state of an open quantum system with a tunable synthetic dissipation. The control mechanism relies on the matching between properties of dissipative operators, acting on neighboring sites and specified by a single control parameter, and the spatial phase structure of eigenstates of the system Hamiltonian. As a result, the latter coincide (or near coincide) with the dark states of the operators. In a disorder-free Hamiltonian with a flat band, one can either obtain a localized asymptotic state or populate whole flat and/or dispersive bands, depending on the value of the control parameter. In a disordered Anderson system, the asymptotic state can be localized anywhere in the spectrum of the Hamiltonian. The dissipative control is robust with respect to an additional local dephasing.
We consider several limiting cases of the joint probability distribution for a random matrix ensemble with an additional interaction term controlled by an exponent $gamma$ (called the $gamma$-ensembles). The effective potential, which is essentially the single-particle confining potential for an equivalent ensemble with $gamma=1$ (called the Muttalib-Borodin ensemble), is a crucial quantity defined in solution to the Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with the $gamma$-ensembles. It enables us to numerically compute the eigenvalue density of $gamma$-ensembles for all $gamma > 0$. We show that one important effect of the two-particle interaction parameter $gamma$ is to generate or enhance the non-monotonicity in the effective single-particle potential. For suitable choices of the initial single-particle potentials, reducing $gamma$ can lead to a large non-monotonicity in the effective potential, which in turn leads to significant changes in the density of eigenvalues. For a disordered conductor, this corresponds to a systematic decrease in the conductance with increasing disorder. This suggests that appropriate models of $gamma$-ensembles can be used as a possible framework to study the effects of disorder on the distribution of conductances.
This paper examines the complex trajectories of a classical particle in the potential V(x)=-cos(x). Almost all the trajectories describe a particle that hops from one well to another in an erratic fashion. However, it is shown analytically that there are two special classes of trajectories x(t) determined only by the energy of the particle and not by the initial position of the particle. The first class consists of periodic trajectories; that is, trajectories that return to their initial position x(0) after some real time T. The second class consists of trajectories for which there exists a real time T such that $x(t+T)=x(t) pm2 pi$. These two classes of classical trajectories are analogous to valence and conduction bands in quantum mechanics, where the quantum particle either remains localized or else tunnels resonantly (conducts) through a crystal lattice. These two special types of trajectories are associated with sets of energies of measure 0. For other energies, it is shown that for long times the average velocity of the particle becomes a fractal-like function of energy.
We introduce a log-gas model that is a generalization of a random matrix ensemble with an additional interaction, whose strength depends on a parameter $gamma$. The equilibrium density is computed by numerically solving the Riemann-Hilbert problem associated with the ensemble. The effect of the additional parameter $gamma$ associated with the two-body interaction can be understood in terms of an effective $gamma$-dependent single-particle confining potential.
