The two-level systems in cryogenic solids, or how to avoid stressful memories
Vassiliy Lubchenko
Structural glasses prepared by bulk quenching a liquid melt universally exhibit puzzling low-energy excitations commonly known as the ``two-level systems'' (TLSs). Recent studies i…
Poly-liquid behaviors of self-associating fluids and mesoscopic aggregation in liquid solutions
Ilya Davydov, Vassiliy Lubchenko
In conflict with standard notions of thermodynamics, mesoscopically-sized inclusions (``clusters'') of a solute-rich liquid have been observed in equilibrated solutions of proteins…
Knowledge as a Breaking of Ergodicity
Yang He, Vassiliy Lubchenko
We construct a thermodynamic potential that can guide training of a generative model defined on a set of binary degrees of freedom. We argue that upon reduction in description, so…
The mechanism of electrical conduction in glassy semiconductors
Arkady Kurnosov, Vassiliy Lubchenko
We argue that the dominant charge carrier in glassy semiconducting alloys is a compound particle in the form of an electron or hole bound to an intimate pair of topological lattice…
Cavitation in Electron Fluids and the Puzzles of Photoemission Spectra in Alkali Metals
Roman Dmitriev, Jenny Green, Vassiliy Lubchenko
Angle-resolved photoemission spectra of alkali metals exhibit a puzzling, non-dispersing peak in the apparent density of states near the Fermi energy. We argue that the holes left…
Emergence of pseudo-time during optimal Monte Carlo sampling and temporal aspects of symmetry breaking and restoration
Yang He, Vassiliy Lubchenko
We argue that one can associate a pseudo-time with sequences of configurations generated in the course of classical Monte Carlo simulations for a single-minimum bound state, if the…
The Intrinsic Quantum Excitations of Low Temperature Glasses
Vassiliy Lubchenko, Peter G. Wolynes
Several puzzling regularities concerning the low temperature excitations of glasses are quantitatively explained by quantizing domain wall motions of the random first order glass t…
