We quantify nonlinear interactions between coupled complex processes, when the system is subject to noise and not all its components are measurable. Our method is applicable even when the system cannot be continuously monitored over time,…
We consider incoherent excitation of multilevel quantum systems, e.g. molecules with multiple vibronic states. We show that (1) the geometric constraints of the matter-field coupling operator guarantee that noise-induced coherences will be…
Clustering is one of the mayor collective phenomena observed in active matter. We study the overdamped motion of interacting active Brownian particles in two dimensions. An instability in the pair correlation function causes the onset of…
