Extending the Mpemba effect to the underdamped realm

Shahaf Aharony Shapira, Gene Chen, Marija Vucelja +1

The Mpemba effect is the counterintuitive phenomenon in which an initially hotter system cools faster than a colder, otherwise identical system. It has been experimentally demonstr…

Strong Mpemba Effect Through a Reentrant Phase Transition

Kristian Blom, Doron Benyamin, Uwe Thiele +2

We investigate temperature quenches across the reentrant phase transition of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in a magnetic field and show that it provides a natural mechanism for…

Enhanced synchronization with proportional coupling in Kuramoto oscillator networks

Amit Pando, Eran Bernstein, Tomer Hacohen +5

We introduce a novel coupling scheme for maximizing the synchronization of Kuramoto oscillator networks under a fixed coupling budget. We show that by scaling the interaction stren…

Finite-temperature criticality through quantum annealing

Gianluca Teza, Francesco Campaioli, Marco Avesani +1

Critical phenomena at finite temperature underpin a broad range of physical systems, yet their study remains challenging due to computational bottlenecks near phase transitions. Qu…

Speedups in nonequilibrium thermal relaxation: Mpemba and related effects

Gianluca Teza, John Bechhoefer, Antonio Lasanta +2

Most of our intuition about the behavior of physical systems is shaped by observations at or near thermal equilibrium. However, even a thermal quench can lead to states far from th…
