We propose conditions for the emergence of Turing patterns in a domain that changes in size by homogeneous growth/shrinkage. These conditions to determine the bifurcation are based on considering the geometric change of a potential function…

First, we present a concise glossary of formulas for composition of standard, cumulant, factorial, and factorial cumulant moments in superposition (compound) models, where final particles are created via independent emission from a…

Quantum coherence is a fundamental property of quantum systems, separating quantum from classical physics. Recently, there has been significant interest in the characterization of quantum coherence as a resource, investigating how coherence…

Motivated by the question of stability, in this letter we argue that an effective "quantum" theory can emerge in complex adaptive systems. In the concrete example of stochastic Lotka-Volterra dynamics, the relevant effective "Planck…

Symmetry plays a key role in determining the physical properties of materials. By Neumann's principle, the properties of a material are invariant under the symmetry operations of the space group to which the material belongs. Continuous…

Imperfections in multimode systems lead to mode-mixing and interferences between propagating modes. Such disorder is typically characterized by a finite correlation time (in quantum evolution) or correlation length (in paraxial evolution).…

I give a pedagogical introduction to some of the many particles and gauge fields that can emerge in correlated matter. The standard model of materials is built on Landau's foundational principles: adiabatic continuity and spontaneous…

Non-equilibrium conditions give rise to classes of universally evolving configurations of quantum-many body systems at non-thermal fixed points. While the fixed point and thus full scaling in space and time is generically reached at very…

Peritectic melting of Ti--Ag has been shown experimentally to form bicontinuous structures, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here we use phase-field simulations to show that these structures arise from a morphological instability of…

We analyse the evolution of cosmological perturbations which leads to the formation of large voids in the distribution of galaxies. We assume that perturbations are spherical and all components of the Universe - radiation, matter and dark…

Using the squeezed state formalism the coherent state representation of quantum fluctuations in an expanding universe is derived. It is shown that this provides a useful alternative to the Wigner function as a phase space representation of…
