CellSegmenter: unsupervised representation learning and instance segmentation of modular images

Luca D'Alessio, Mehrtash Babadi

We introduce CellSegmenter, a structured deep generative model and an amortized inference framework for unsupervised representation learning and instance segmentation tasks. The pr…

Adiabatic Perturbation Theory and Geometry of Periodically-Driven Systems

Phillip Weinberg, Marin Bukov, Luca D'Alessio +3

We give a systematic review of the adiabatic theorem and the leading non-adiabatic corrections in periodically-driven (Floquet) systems. These corrections have a two-fold origin: (…

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…

Dynamical Stability of a Many-body Kapitza Pendulum

Roberta Citro, Emanuele G. Dalla Torre, Luca DÁlessio +4

We consider a many-body generalization of the Kapitza pendulum: the periodically-driven sine-Gordon model. We show that this interacting system is dynamically stable to periodic dr…

Comment on "Floquet Fractional Chern Insulators"

Luca D'Alessio

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112 156801 (2014)], Grushin et al. studied a Fermi-Hubbard-model for spinful electrons on a honeycomb lattice coupled to an external polarized e…

Universal High-Frequency Behavior of Periodically Driven Systems: from Dynamical Stabilization to Floquet Engineering

Marin Bukov, Luca D'Alessio, Anatoli Polkovnikov

We give a general overview of the high-frequency regime in periodically driven systems and identify three distinct classes of driving protocols in which the infinite-frequency Floq…

Negative mass corrections in a dissipative stochastic environment

Luca D'Alessio, Yariv Kafri, Anatoli Polkovnikov

We study the dynamics of a macroscopic object interacting with a dissipative stochastic environment using an adiabatic perturbation theory. The perturbation theory reproduces known…

Long-time behavior of periodically driven isolated interacting lattice systems

Luca D'Alessio, Marcos Rigol

We study the dynamics of isolated interacting spin chains that are periodically driven by sudden quenches. Using full exact diagonalization of finite chains, we show that these sys…

Emergent Newtonian dynamics and the geometric origin of mass

Luca D'Alessio, Anatoli Polkovnikov

We consider a set of macroscopic (classical) degrees of freedom coupled to an arbitrary many-particle Hamiltonian system, quantum or classical. These degrees of freedom can represe…

Many-body energy localization transition in periodically driven systems

Luca D'Alessio, Anatoli Polkovnikov

According to the second law of thermodynamics the total entropy of a system is increased during almost any dynamical process. The positivity of the specific heat implies that the e…

Thermally isolated Luttinger liquids with noisy Hamiltonians

Luca D'Alessio, Armin Rahmani

We study the dynamics of a quantum-coherent thermally isolated Luttinger liquid with noisy Luttinger parameter. To characterize the fluctuations of the absorbed energy in generic n…

Universal energy fluctuations in thermally isolated driven systems

Guy Bunin, Luca D'Alessio, Yariv Kafri +1

When an isolated system is brought in contact with a heat bath its final energy is random and follows the Gibbs distribution -- a cornerstone of statistical physics. The system's e…

A Light impurity in an Equilibrium Gas

L. D'Alessio, P. L. Krapivsky

We investigate the evolution of a light impurity particle in a Lorentz gas where the background atoms are in thermal equilibrium. As in the standard Lorentz gas, we assume that the…
