A variational lattice model is proposed to define an evolution of sets from a single point (nucleation) following a criterion of "maximization" of the perimeter. At a discrete level, the evolution has a "checkerboard" structure and its…
Active matter denotes a system of particles immersed in an external environment, from which the particles extract energy continuously in order to perform directed motion. Extending the paradigm of active matter to a quantum framework…
We define the minimum energy state while the expectation value of the field, evolves in time. We obtain the relation between the n-point functions in such a state, and the external field for all the moments. We obtain an equation of motion…
