An Information-theoretic Collective Variable for Configurational Entropy
Ashley Z. Guo, Kaelyn Chang, Nicholas J. Corrente
Entropy governs molecular self-assembly, phase transitions, and material stability, yet remains challenging to quantify and directly control in molecular systems. Here, we demonstr…

Active diffusing crystals in a 2D non-equilibrium system
Ashley Z. Guo, Sam Wilken, Dov Levine +1
We investigate a 2D dynamical absorbing state model of monodisperse disks, in which rich phase behavior arises from interactions consisting solely of repulsive displacements betwee…

Dynamical approach to the jamming problem
Sam Wilken, Ashley Z. Guo, Dov Levine +1
A simple dynamical model, Biased Random Organization, BRO, appears to produce configurations known as Random Close Packing (RCP) as BRO's densest critical point in dimension .…
