Gradient structure and transport coefficients for strong particles

Davide Gabrielli, P. L. Krapivsky

We introduce and study a simple and natural class of solvable stochastic lattice gases. This is the class of \emph{Strong Particles}. The name is due to the fact that when they try…

Extinction and Survival in Two-Species Annihilation

J. G. Amar, E. Ben-Naim, S. M. Davis +1

We study diffusion-controlled two-species annihilation with a finite number of particles. In this stochastic process, particles move diffusively, and when two particles of opposite…

Bulk diffusion in a kinetically constrained lattice gas

Chikashi Arita, P L Krapivsky, Kirone Mallick

In the hydrodynamic regime, the evolution of a stochastic lattice gas with symmetric hopping rules is described by a diffusion equation with density-dependent diffusion coefficient…

Broken symmetry in a two-qubit quantum control landscape

Marin Bukov, Alexandre G. R. Day, Phillip Weinberg +3

We analyze the physics of optimal protocols to prepare a target state with high fidelity in a symmetrically coupled two-qubit system. By varying the protocol duration, we find a di…

Dynamic scaling of topological ordering in classical systems

Na Xu, Claudio Castelnovo, Roger G. Melko +2

We analyze scaling behaviors of simulated annealing carried out on various classical systems with topological order, obtained as appropriate limits of the toric code in two and thr…

Trapping and Escape in a Turbid Medium

P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner

We investigate the absorption of diffusing molecules in a fluid-filled spherical beaker that contains many small reactive traps. The molecules are absorbed either by hitting a trap…

Inferring dissipation from the violation of Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem

Shou-Wen Wang

The Harada-Sasa equality elegantly connects the energy dissipation rate of a moving object with its measurable violation of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem (FDT). Although prov…

The sign phase transition in the problem of interfering directed paths

C. L. Baldwin, C. R. Laumann, B. Spivak

We investigate the statistical properties of interfering directed paths in disordered media. At long distance, the average sign of the sum over paths may tend to zero (sign-disorde…

Phase Transitions in Systems with Aggregation and Shattering

P. L. Krapivsky, W. Otieno, N. V. Brilliantov

We consider a system of clusters made of elementary building blocks, monomers, and evolving via collisions between diffusing monomers and immobile composite clusters. In our model,…

Oscillations in aggregation-shattering processes

S. A. Matveev, P. L. Krapivsky, A. P. Smirnov +2

We observe never-ending oscillations in systems undergoing aggregation and collision-controlled shattering. Specifically, we investigate aggregation-shattering processes with aggre…

Tensor network method for reversible classical computation

Zhi-Cheng Yang, Stefanos Kourtis, Claudio Chamon +2

We develop a tensor network technique that can solve universal reversible classical computational problems, formulated as vertex models on a square lattice [Nat. Commun. 8, 15303 (…

Dynamic scaling in the 2D Ising spin glass with Gaussian couplings

Na Xu, Kai-Hsin Wu, Shanon J. Rubin +2

We carry out simulated annealing and employ a generalized Kibble-Zurek scaling hypothesis to study the 2D Ising spin glass with normal-distributed couplings. The system has an equi…

Modulated phases in a three-dimensional Maier-Saupe model with competing interactions

P. F. Bienzobaz, Na Xu, Anders W. Sandvik

This work is dedicated to the study of the discrete version of the Maier-Saupe model in the presence of competing interactions. The competition between interactions favoring differ…

Integrable Floquet dynamics

Vladimir Gritsev, Anatoli Polkovnikov

We discuss several classes of integrable Floquet systems, i.e. systems which do not exhibit chaotic behavior even under a time dependent perturbation. The first class is associated…

Long coherence times for edge spins

Jack Kemp, Norman Y. Yao, Christopher R. Laumann +1

We show that in certain one-dimensional spin chains with open boundary conditions, the edge spins retain memory of their initial state for very long times. The long coherence times…
