When a periodic 1D system described by a tight-binding model is uniformly initialized with equal amplitudes at all sites, yet with completely random phases, it evolves into a thermal distribution with no spatial correlations. However, when…

The dynamics of colloidal particles in potential energy landscapes have mainly been investigated theoretically. In contrast, here we discuss the experimental realization of potential energy landscapes with the help of light fields and the…

Sub-diffusion in biological systems is conventionally treated as anomalous, requiring fractional derivatives, heavy-tailed waiting times, or fitted memory kernels. We argue that this anomaly is an artifact of an incomplete phase space.…
