Rare Trajectories in a Prototypical Mean-field Disordered Model: Insights into Landscape and Instantons
Patrick Charbonneau, Giampaolo Folena, Enrico M. Malatesta +2
For disordered systems within the random first-order transition (RFOT) universality class, such as structural glasses and certain spin glasses, the role played by activated relaxat…

The geometry of jamming algorithms in the random Lorentz gas
Giampaolo Folena, Patrick Charbonneau, Peter K. Morse +2
Deterministic optimization algorithms unequivocally partition a complex energy landscape in inherent structures (ISs) and their respective basins of attraction. Can these basins be…

Not-so-glass-like Caging and Fluctuations of an Active Matter Model
Mingyuan Zheng, Dmytro Khomenko, Patrick Charbonneau
Simple active models of matter recapitulate complex biological phenomena. The out-of-equilibrium nature of these models, however, often makes them beyond the reach of first-princip…
