What is chaos? Despite several decades of research on this ubiquitous and fundamental phenomenon there is yet no agreed-upon answer to this question. Recently, it was realized that all stochastic and deterministic differential equations,…

This work theoretically investigates the transition from topology to chaos in a periodically driven system consisting of a quantum top coupled to a spin-1/2 particle. The system is driven by two alternating interaction kicks per period. For…

We study the problem of satisfiability of randomly chosen clauses, each with K Boolean variables. Using the cavity method at zero temperature, we find the phase diagram for the K=3 case. We show the existence of an intermediate phase in the…

Many NP-complete constraint satisfaction problems appear to undergo a "phase transition'' from solubility to insolubility when the constraint density passes through a critical threshold. In all such cases it is easy to derive upper bounds…

Natural systems often exhibit chaotic behavior in their space-time evolution. Systems transiting between chaos and order manifest a potential to compute, as shown with cellular automata and artificial neural networks. We demonstrate that…

We study the competing order and chaos in a first-order quantum phase transition with a high barrier. The boson model Hamiltonian employed, interpolates between its U(5) (spherical) and SU(3) (deformed) limits. A classical analysis reveals…

We compute the probability of satisfiability of a class of random Horn-SAT formulae, motivated by a connection with the nonemptiness problem of finite tree automata. In particular, when the maximum clause length is 3, this model displays a…
