Distinct Critical Behaviors from the Same State in Quantum Spin and Population Dynamics Perspectives
C. L. Baldwin, S. Shivam, S. L. Sondhi +1
There is a deep connection between the ground states of transverse-field spin systems and the late-time distributions of evolving viral populations -- within simple models, both ar…
How Well Do Remote Labs Work? A Case Study at Princeton University
Saumya Shivam, Kasey Wagoner
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic forced many universities to move to virtual instruction during the spring 2020 semester. The transition to remote learning was abrupt and overwhe…
Digital Herd Immunity and COVID-19
Vir B. Bulchandani, Saumya Shivam, Sanjay Moudgalya +1
A population can be immune to epidemics even if not all of its individual members are immune to the disease, so long as sufficiently many are immune - this is the traditional notio…
Studying viral populations with tools from quantum spin chains
Saumya Shivam, Christopher L. Baldwin, John Barton +2
We study Eigen's model of quasi-species, characterized by sequences that replicate with a specified fitness and mutate independently at single sites. The evolution of the populatio…
