Self-organized Criticality and Absorbing States: Lessons from the Ising Model
Gunnar Pruessner, Ole Peters
We investigate a suggested path to self-organized criticality. Originally, this path was devised to "generate criticality" in systems displaying an absorbing-state phase transition…
Shape and efficiency in spatial distribution networks
Michael T. Gastner, M. E. J. Newman
We study spatial networks that are designed to distribute or collect a commodity, such as gas pipelines or train tracks. We focus on the cost of a network, as represented by the to…
Efficient Quantum Circuits for Schur and Clebsch-Gordan Transforms
Dave Bacon, Isaac Chuang, Aram Harrow
The Schur basis on n d-dimensional quantum systems is a generalization of the total angular momentum basis that is useful for exploiting symmetry under permutations or collective u…
The spatial structure of networks
Michael T. Gastner, M. E. J. Newman
We study networks that connect points in geographic space, such as transportation networks and the Internet. We find that there are strong signatures in these networks of topograph…
Technological networks and the spread of computer viruses
Justin Balthrop, Stephanie Forrest, M. E. J. Newman +1
Computer infections such as viruses and worms spread over networks of contacts between computers, with different types of networks being exploited by different types of infections.…
Objects That Make Objects: The Population Dynamics of Structural Complexity
James P. Crutchfield, Olof Gornerup
To analyze the evolutionary emergence of structural complexity in physical processes we introduce a general, but tractable, model of objects that interact to produce new objects. S…
