How to derive a predictive active field theory: a step-by-step tutorial
Michael te Vrugt, Jens Bickmann, Raphael Wittkowski
The study of active soft matter has developed into one of the most rapidly growing areas of physics. Field theories, which can be developed either via phenomenological consideratio…
Is thermodynamics fundamental?
Michael te Vrugt, Paul Needham, Georg J. Schmitz
It is a common view in philosophy of physics that thermodynamics is a non-fundamental theory. This is motivated in particular by the fact that thermodynamics is considered to be a…
Projection operators in statistical mechanics: a pedagogical approach
Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski
The Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism is one of the central tools of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, allowing to derive macroscopic equations of motion from the micr…
Orientational order parameters for arbitrary quantum systems
Michael te Vrugt, Raphael Wittkowski
The concept of quantum-mechanical nematic order, which is important in systems such as superconductors, is based on an analogy to classical liquid crystals, where order parameters…
