Emergent order from mixed chaos at low temperature

Pavel Chvykov, Jeremy England

This paper explores a novel connection between a thermodynamic and a dynamical systems perspective on emergent dynamical order. We provide evidence for a conjecture that Hamiltonia…

Emergent Microrobotic Oscillators via Asymmetry-Induced Order

Jing Fan Yang, Thomas A. Berrueta, Allan M. Brooks +10

Spontaneous low-frequency oscillations on the order of several hertz are the drivers of many crucial processes in nature. From bacterial swimming to mammal gaits, the conversion of…

Low rattling: A predictive principle for self-organization in active collectives

Pavel Chvykov, Thomas A. Berrueta, Akash Vardhan +6

Self-organization is frequently observed in active collectives, from ant rafts to molecular motor assemblies. General principles describing self-organization away from equilibrium…

Beyond RG: from parameter flow to metric flow

Charlotte Strandkvist, Pavel Chvykov, Mikhail Tikhonov

Complex systems with many degrees of freedom are typically intractable, but some of their behaviors may admit simpler effective descriptions. The question of when such effective de…

Causal Geometry

Pavel Chvykov, Erik Hoel

Information geometry has offered a way to formally study the efficacy of scientific models by quantifying the impact of model parameters on the predicted effects. However, there ha…

Least Rattling Feedback from Strong Time-scale Separation

Pavel Chvykov, Jeremy England

In most interacting many-body systems associated with some "emergent phenomena," we can identify sub-groups of degrees of freedom that relax on dramatically different time-scales.…

Microdroplet target synthesis for kilohertz ultrafast lasers

Pavel Chvykov, Wise Ongg, James Easter +3

We have developed a method for producing spatially stable micron-scale liquid targets of flexible shapes at kilohertz repetition rate for use in air and vacuum, by perturbing 5 and…

Real-time MOKE microscopy made simple

Pavel Chvykov, Vladimir Stoica, Roy Clarke

We present a simple and effective instrument for simultaneous real-time imaging and hysteresis of the anisotropic magnetic domain dynamics in thin films using the Magneto-Optical K…
