We classify phases of a bosonic lattice model based on the computational complexity of classically simulating the system. We show that the system transitions from being classically simulable to classically hard to simulate as it evolves in…
We consider the Ising model on the two-dimensional square lattice where on each horizontal line, called "layer", the interaction is given by a ferromagnetic Kac potential with coupling strength $J_\gamma(x,y)=\gamma J(\gamma(x-y))$, where…

A model for information spreading in a population of $N$ mobile agents is extended to $d$-dimensional regular lattices. This model, already studied on two-dimensional lattices, also takes into account the degeneration of information as it…
