Renormalization of stochastic differential equations with multiplicative noise using effective potential methods
Jean-Sebastien Gagnon, David Hochberg, Juan Perez-Mercader
We present a new method to renormalize stochastic differential equations subjected to multiplicative noise. The method is based on the widely used concept of effective potential in…
From chemical soup to computing circuit: Transforming a contiguous chemical medium into a logic gate network by modulating its external conditions
Matthew Egbert, Jean-Sebastien Gagnon, Juan Perez-Mercader
It has been shown that it is possible to transform a well-stirred chemical medium into a logic-gate simply by varying the chemistry's external conditions (feed rates, lighting cond…
On the physical (im)possibility of lightsabers
Francois Fillion-Gourdeau, Jean-Sebastien Gagnon
In this paper, we use a science fiction theme (i.e. the iconic lightsaber from the Star Wars universe) as a pedagogical tool to introduce aspects of nonlinear electrodynamics due t…
Selection and control of pathways by using externally adjustable noise on a stochastic cubic autocatalytic chemical system
Jean-Sebastien Gagnon, David Hochberg, Juan Perez-Mercader
We investigate the effect of noisy feed rates on the behavior of a cubic autocatalytic chemical reaction model. By combining the renormalization group and stoichiometric network an…
Dynamic modulation of external conditions can transform chemistry into logic gates
Matthew Egbert, Jean-Sebastien Gagnon, Juan Perez-Mercader
We introduce a new method for transforming chemical systems into desired logical operators (e.g. NAND-gates) or similar signal-manipulation components. The method is based upon ope…
All orders Boltzmann collision term from the multiple scattering expansion of the self-energy
F. Fillion-Gourdeau, J. -S. Gagnon, S. Jeon
Starting from the Kadanoff-Baym relativistic transport equation and the multiple scattering expansion of the self-energy, we obtain the Boltzmann collision terms for any number of…
