Abstract: In this talk, we will provide a short introduction to quantum dynamics and introduce the notion of ballistic transport, a measure of wave packet spread. We will then present some results showing ballistic transport for one dimensional continuum Schrödinger operators with limit-periodic potentials, as well as "directional ballistic transport" for higher dimensional discrete and continuum Schrödinger operators with potentials supported, and periodic, on a strip. This talk contains joint work with Adam Black, David Damanik, and Tal Malinovitch.
