abstract
In some instances of study of quantum evolution of classical backgrounds it is considered inevitable to resort to non-perturbative methods at the price of treating the system semiclassically. We show that a fully quantum perturbative treatment, in which the background is resolved as a multi-particle state, recovers the semiclassical non-perturbative results and allows going beyond. We reproduce particle-creation by a classical field in a theory of two scalars as well as in scalar QED in terms of scattering processes of high multiplicity. The multi-particle treatment also gives a transparent picture of why a single-process transition from a classical to a quantum state, which we call quantumization, is exponentially suppressed, whereas the opposite process, classicalization, can take place swiftly if the microstate degeneracy of the classical state is high. An example is provided by the $N$-graviton portrait of a black hole: a black hole can form efficiently via a $2\to N$ classicalization process in the collision of high-energy particles but its quantumization via a decay $N \to 2$ is exponentially suppressed.

Coherence and Quantum Stability of Relativistic Superfluid States
A charged scalar condensate is quantum-stable to all perturbative orders when it is described by the interacting vacuum of fluctuations, a non-Gaussian dressed coherent state that is an eigenstate of H minus mu Q.

Swift memory burden shifts black-hole quasinormal-mode frequencies by an amount set by the memory-load parameter μ and critical exponent p, with μ able to exceed the progenitor's information content.

Cosmic strings and domain walls of the QCD quark condensate with and without a hidden axion
The QCD quark condensate supports eta-prime and pion string-wall defects that exist without a hidden axion, and these windings make the minimal axion string anomaly-free.

Coherent States in Gauge Theories: Topological Defects and Other Classical Configurations
Classical configurations in gauge theories, including the Nielsen-Olesen string, are constructed as BRST-invariant coherent states whose topological charge is an infinite occupation number of zero-momentum modes.

Light scalars in light of UV/IR mixing: classicalization via synergy between Vainshtein and chameleon screenings
Classicalizing k-essence scalars need m << Λ* and, when potentials or fermion couplings are present, a chameleon-like screening layer to keep Vainshtein screening and classicalon stability intact.
