X-ray photon correlation is used to probe the slow dynamics of the glass-former B2O3 across the glass transition. In the undercooled liquid phase the decay times of the measured correlation functions are consistent with visible light scattering results and independent of the incoming flux; in the glass they are instead temperature independent and show a definite dependence on the X-ray flux. This dependence can be exploited to obtain information on the volume occupied by the atoms that move in the glass following an absorption event. The length scale derived in this way, of the order of the nanometer, is consistent with that reported for the dynamical heterogeneities, suggesting the existence of a new scheme to get access to this fundamental quantity.

We investigate the quantum dynamics of Two-Level Systems (TLS) in glasses at low temperatures (1 K and below). We study an ensemble of TLSs coupled to phonons. By integrating out the phonons within the framework of the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Li ndblad (GKSL) master equation, we derive analytically the explicit form of the interactions among TLSs, and of the dissipation terms. We find that the unitary dynamics of the system shows clear signatures of Many-Body Localization physics. We study numerically the time behavior of the concurrence, which measures pairwise entanglement also in non-isolated systems, and show that it presents a power-law decay both in the absence and in the presence of dissipation, if the latter is not too large. These features can be ascribed to the strong, long-tailed disorder characterizing the distributions of the model parameters. Our findings show that assuming ergodicity when discussing TLS physics might not be justified for all kinds of experiments on low-temperature glasses.
A relaxation process, with the associated phenomenology of sound attenuation and sound velocity dispersion, is found in a simulated harmonic Lennard-Jones glass. We propose to identify this process with the so called microscopic (or instantaneous) re laxation process observed in real glasses and supercooled liquids. A model based on the memory function approach accounts for the observation, and allows to relate to each others: 1) the characteristic time and strength of this process, 2) the low frequency limit of the dynamic structure factor of the glass, and 3) the high frequency sound attenuation coefficient, with its observed quadratic dependence on the momentum transfer.

Analytical representations in the time and frequency domains are derived for the most frequently used phenomenological fit functions for non-Debye relaxation processes. In the time domain the relaxation functions corresponding to the complex frequenc y dependent Cole-Cole, Cole-Davidson and Havriliak-Negami susceptibilities are also represented in terms of $H$-functions. In the frequency domain the complex frequency dependent susceptibility function corresponding to the time dependent stretched exponential relaxation function is given in terms of $H$-functions. The new representations are useful for fitting to experiment.
We examine the question of the criteria of the relaxation to the equilibrium in the hard disk dynamics. In the Event-Chain Monte Carlo, we check the displacement distributions which follows to the exponential law.
We present a numerical investigation of the density fluctuations in a model glass under cyclic shear deformation. At low amplitude of shear, below yielding, the system reaches a steady absorbing state in which density fluctuations are suppressed reve aling a clear fingerprint of hyperuniformity up to a finite length scale. The opposite scenario is observed above yielding, where the density fluctuations are strongly enhanced. We demonstrate that the transition to this state is accompanied by a spatial phase separation into two distinct hyperuniform regions, as a consequence of shear band formation above the yield amplitude.
