Spike-timing-dependent plasticity with axonal delay tunes networks of Izhikevich neurons to the edge of synchronization transition with scale-free avalanches
Mahsa Khoshkhou, Afshin Montakhab
Critical brain hypothesis has been intensively studied both in experimental and theoretical neuroscience over the past two decades. However, some important questions still remain:…
Phase transition in a network model of social balance with Glauber dynamics
Rana Shojaei, Pouya Manshour, Afshin Montakhab
We study the evolution of a social network with friendly/enmity connections into a balanced state by introducing a dynamical model with an intrinsic randomness, similar to Glauber…
Classical criticality establishes quantum topological order
Mohammad Hossein Zarei, Afshin Montakhab
We establish an important duality correspondence between topological order in quantum many body systems and criticality in ferromagnetic classical spin systems. We show how such a…
Phase transition in a noisy Kitaev toric code model
Mohammad Hossein Zarei, Afshin Montakhab
It is well-known that the partition function of a classical spin model can be mapped to a quantum entangled state where some properties on one side can be used to find new properti…
