For most stochastic dynamical systems, variables which are tightly regulated tend to respond slowly to external changes. This idea is often discussed for applicable systems, within a linear response regime, through the Fluctuation…

We study the fluctuations of the area $A=\int_0^T x(t) dt$ under a one-dimensional Brownian motion $x(t)$ in a trapping potential $\sim |x|$, at long times $T\to\infty$. We find that typical fluctuations of $A$ follow a Gaussian…

Stochasticity is both exploited and controlled by cells. Although the intrinsic stochasticity inherent in biochemistry is relatively well understood, cellular variation, or 'noise', is predominantly generated by interactions of the system…

We study the large fluctuations of emitted radiations in the system of $N$ non-interacting two-level atoms. Two methods are used to calculate the probability of the large fluctuations and the time dependence of the excitation and emission.…
