Simon Moulieras 1, Alejandro G. Monastra 2, 3, Marcos Saraceno 4, Patricio Leboeuf 1 Physical Review A 85 (2012) 013841 Coherent states play an important role in quantum mechanics because of their unique properties under time evolution. Here we explore this concept for one-dimensional repulsive nonlinear Schrödinger equations, which describe weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensates or light propagation in a nonlinear medium. It is shown

P. -É Larré 1, N. Pavloff 1, A. M. Kamchatnov 2 Physical Review B 86 (2012) 165304 Motivated by recent experiments on generation of wave patterns by a polariton condensate incident on a localized obstacle, we study the characteristics of such flows under the condition that irreversible processes play a crucial role in the system. The dynamics of a non-resonantly pumped

M. I. Garcia de Soria 1, P. Maynar 1, E. Trizac 2 Physical Review E 85 (2012) 051301 We study the dynamics of a homogeneous granular gas heated by a stochastic thermostat, in the low density limit. It is found that, before reaching the stationary regime, the system quickly ‘forgets’ the initial condition and then evolves through a universal state that

François Landes 1, E. A. Jagla 2, Alberto Rosso 1 Physical Review E 86 (2012) 041150 We consider the directed percolation process as a prototype of systems displaying a nonequilibrium phase transition into an absorbing state. The model is in a critical state when the activation probability is adjusted at some precise value p_c. Criticality is lost as soon as the

Matthias Krüger 1, Giuseppe Bimonte 2, Thorsten Emig 3, Mehran Kardar 1 Physical Review B 86 (2012) 115423 We present a detailed derivation of heat radiation, heat transfer and (Casimir) interactions for N arbitrary objects in the framework of fluctuational electrodynamics in thermal non-equilibrium. The results can be expressed as basis-independent trace formulae in terms of the scattering operators of the individual objects.

E. Bogomolny 1, R. Dubertrand 2 Physical Review E 86 (2012) 026202 The construction of the semiclassical trace formula for the resonances with the transverse electric (TE) polarization for two-dimensional dielectric cavities is discussed. Special attention is given to the derivation of the two first terms of Weyl’s series for the average number of such resonances. The obtained formulas
