Floquet systems coupled to particle reservoirs

Thomas Iadecola, Claudio Chamon

Open quantum systems, when driven by a periodic field, can relax to effective statistical ensembles that resemble their equilibrium counterparts. We consider a class of problems in…

Bayesian feature selection with strongly-regularizing priors maps to the Ising Model

Charles K. Fisher, Pankaj Mehta

Identifying small subsets of features that are relevant for prediction and/or classification tasks is a central problem in machine learning and statistics. The feature selection ta…

Gradual Diffusive Capture: Slow Death by Many Mosquito Bites

S. Redner, O. Bénichou

We study the dynamics of a single diffusing particle (a "man") with diffusivity that is attacked by another diffusing particle (a "mosquito") with fixed diffusivity . Ea…

Melting of an Ising Quadrant

P. L. Krapivsky, Kirone Mallick, Tridib Sadhu

We consider an Ising ferromagnet endowed with zero-temperature spin-flip dynamics and examine the evolution of the Ising quadrant, namely the spin configuration when the minority p…

Exclusion Processes with Avalanches

Uttam Bhat, P. L. Krapivsky

In an exclusion process with avalanches, when a particle hops to a neighboring empty site which is adjacent to an island the particle on the other end of the island immediately hop…

Lattice gases with a point source

P. L. Krapivsky, Darko Stefanovic

We study diffusive lattice gases with local injection of particles, namely we assume that whenever the origin becomes empty, a new particle is immediately injected into the origin.…

Generalized Exclusion Processes: Transport Coefficients

Chikashi Arita, P. L. Krapivsky, Kirone Mallick

A class of generalized exclusion processes parametrized by the maximal occupancy, , is investigated. For these processes with symmetric nearest-neighbor hopping, we comput…

Survival of a static target in a gas of diffusing particles with exclusion

Baruch Meerson, Arkady Vilenkin, P. L. Krapivsky

Let a lattice gas of constant density, described by the symmetric simple exclusion process, be brought in contact with a "target": a spherical absorber of radius . Employing the…

Slow Kinetics of Brownian Maxima

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky

We study extreme-value statistics of Brownian trajectories in one dimension. We define the maximum as the largest position to date and compare maxima of two particles undergoing in…

Depletion-Controlled Starvation of a Diffusing Forager

Olivier Benichou, S. Redner

We study the starvation of a lattice random walker in which each site initially contains one food unit and the walker can travel steps without food before starving. W…

Large Deviations in Single File Diffusion

P. L. Krapivsky, Kirone Mallick, Tridib Sadhu

We apply macroscopic fluctuation theory to study the diffusion of a tracer in a one-dimensional interacting particle system with excluded mutual passage, known as single-file diffu…

Persistence of Random Walk Records

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky

We study records generated by Brownian particles in one dimension. Specifically, we investigate an ordinary random walk and define the record as the maximal position of the walk. W…

First Invader Dynamics in Diffusion-Controlled Absorption

S. Redner, Baruch Meerson

We investigate the average time for the earliest particle to hit a spherical absorber when a homogeneous gas of freely diffusing particles with density and diffusivity is p…

Anomalous mean-field behavior of the fully connected Ising model

Louis Colonna-Romano, Harvey Gould, W. Klein

Although the fully connected Ising model does not have a length scale, we show that its critical exponents can be found using finite size scaling with the scaling variable equal to…

Long-time behavior of periodically driven isolated interacting lattice systems

Luca D'Alessio, Marcos Rigol

We study the dynamics of isolated interacting spin chains that are periodically driven by sudden quenches. Using full exact diagonalization of finite chains, we show that these sys…

Generalized Moment Method for Gap Estimation and Quantum Monte Carlo Level Spectroscopy

Hidemaro Suwa, Synge Todo

We formulate a convergent sequence for the energy gap estimation in the worldline quantum Monte Carlo method. The ambiguity left in the conventional gap calculation for quantum sys…
