Recently, a generalization of nonstandard step operator named the elephant quantum walk (EQW) was introduced. With proper statistical distribution for steps, that generalized EQW (gEQW) can be tuned to exhibit myriad dynamical scaling behavior ranging from standard diffusion hyperballistic spreading. In this work, we study influence statistics size and delocalization initial states on entanglem...

We introduce a 1+1-dimensional temperature-dependent model such that the classical ballistic deposition is recovered as its zero-temperature limit. Its ∞-temperature version, which we refer to 0-Ballistic Deposition (0-BD) model, randomly evolving interface which, surprisingly enough, does not belong either Edwards–Wilkinson (EW) or Kardar–Parisi–Zhang (KPZ) universality class. show 0-BD has sc...

We study ballistic transport in integrable quantum lattice models, i.e., the spin XXZ and Hubbard chains, close to noninteracting limit. It is by now well established that stiffnesses of charge currents reveal, at high temperatures, a discontinuous reduction (jump) when interaction introduced. show jumps are related large degeneracy parent models and, more generally, can appear other with macro...

Tracking a ballistic missile in its reentry phase is one of the missile defence challenges as these reentry vehicles penetrate with large aerodynamic loads and sudden decelerations from exoatmospheric to endoatmospheric phase. With the advent of anti-ballistic missiles, the main goal of missile defence systems is to track the reentry vehicle to locate them precisely for allowing midair altitude...

in this paper a new guidance technique for ballistic missiles and launch vehicles is proposed. generally the lambert guidance is used to generate missile nominal (correlated) parameters through powered flight to put it in a ballistic flight path. because of uncertainties and undesired factors, the nominal position and velocity obtained by lambert technique need to be followed in actual flight. ...
