Information propagation and equilibration in long-range Kitaev chains

Mathias Van Regemortel, Dries Sels, Michiel Wouters

We study the propagation of information through a Kitaev chain with long-range pairing interactions. Although the Lieb-Robinson bound is violated in the strict sense for long-range…

Scaling Exponents for Ordered Maxima

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky, N. W. Lemons

We study extreme value statistics of multiple sequences of random variables. For each sequence with N variables, independently drawn from the same distribution, the running maximum…

Water under the Cover: Structures and Thermodynamics of Water Encapsulated by Graphene

Shuping Jiao, Chuanhua Duan, Zhiping Xu

Understanding the phase behaviors of nanoconfined water has driven notable research interests recently. In this work, we examine the structures and thermodynamics of water encapsul…

From Quantum Chaos and Eigenstate Thermalization to Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

Luca D'Alessio, Yariv Kafri, Anatoli Polkovnikov +1

This review gives a pedagogical introduction to the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH), its basis, and its implications to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. In the…

Two-component Structure in the Entanglement Spectrum of Highly Excited States

Zhi-Cheng Yang, Claudio Chamon, Alioscia Hamma +1

We study the entanglement spectrum of highly excited eigenstates of two known models that exhibit a many-body localization transition, namely the one-dimensional random-field Heise…

Dynamical properties of single-file diffusion

P. L. Krapivsky, Kirone Mallick, Tridib Sadhu

We study the statistics of a tagged particle in single-file diffusion, a one-dimensional interacting infinite-particle system in which the order of particles never changes. We comp…

Optimal strategy to capture a skittish lamb wandering near a precipice

M. Chupeau, O. Bénichou, S. Redner

We study the splitting probabilities for a one-dimensional Brownian motion in a cage whose two boundaries move at constant speeds and . This configuration corresponds to…

Mortality, Redundancy, and Diversity in Stochastic Search

Baruch Meerson, S. Redner

We investigate a stochastic search process in one dimension under the competing roles of mortality, redundancy, and diversity of the searchers. This picture represents a toy model…

Irreversible Reactions and Diffusive Escape: Stationary Properties

P. L. Krapivsky, E. Ben-Naim

We study three basic diffusion-controlled reaction processes -- annihilation, coalescence, and aggregation. We examine the evolution starting with the most natural inhomogeneous in…

Mass Exchange Processes with Input

P. L. Krapivsky

We investigate a system of interacting clusters evolving through mass exchange and supplemented by input of small clusters. Three possibilities depending on the rate of exchange ge…

Driven-dissipative ising model: mean field solution

Garry Goldstein, Camille Aron, Claudio Chamon

We study the fate of the Ising model and its universal properties when driven by a rapid periodic drive and weakly coupled to a bath at equilibrium. The far from equilibrium steady…

Emergent topological excitations in a two-dimensional quantum spin system

Hui Shao, Wenan Guo, Anders W. Sandvik

We study the mechanism of decay of a topological (winding-number) excitation due to finite-size effects in a two-dimensional valence-bond solid state, realized in an spin m…

Topological properties of a Valence-Bond-Solid

Hui Shao, WenAn Guo, Anders W. Sandvik

We present a projector quantum Monte Carlo study of the topological properties of the valence-bond-solid ground state in the - spin model on the square lattice. The winding…
