We consider a one-dimensional Brownian motion with diffusion coefficient $D$ in the presence of $n$ partially absorbing traps with intensity $\beta$, separated by a distance $L$ and evenly spaced around the initial position of the particle.…

Recently observation of random walks in complex environments like the cell and other glassy systems revealed that the spreading of particles, at its tails, follows a spatial exponential decay instead of the canonical Gaussian. We use the…

Mathematical models of diffusive transport underpin our understanding of chemical, biochemical and biological transport phenomena. Analysis of such models often focusses on relatively simple geometries and deals with diffusion through…

We consider a single species reaction diffusion system on a two dimensional lattice where the particles $A$ are biased to move towards their nearest neighbours and annihilate as they meet; $A + A \to \emptyset$. Allowing the bias to take…

In this work we establish a link between two different phenomena that were studied in a large and growing number of biological, composite and soft media: the diffusion in compartmentalized environment and the Brownian yet non-Gaussian…

We study the equilibrium fluctuations of a tagged particle in finite-range simple exclusion processes on Z^d with biased single particle jump rates. It is known the variance of the tagged particle at time t is diffusive, that is on order…

We put forward a new, versatile and highly-scalable experimental setup for the realization of discrete two-dimensional quantum random walks with a single-qubit coin and tunable degree of decoherence. The proposed scheme makes use of a small…

The motion of a particle is studied in a random space-time. It is assumed that the velocity is small enough for the non-relativistic approximation to be valid. The randomness of the metric induces a diffusion in coordinate space. Hence it…

Given any $\gamma>0$ and for $\eta=\{\eta_v\}_{v\in \mathbb Z^2}$ denoting a sample of the two-dimensional discrete Gaussian free field on $\mathbb Z^2$ pinned at the origin, we consider the random walk on~$\mathbb Z^2$ among random…
