The outcomes of a series of measurements, made on a quantum system, form a sequence of random events which occur in a particular order. The system, together with a meter or meters, can be seen as following the paths of a stochastic network…
A wide range of physical problems can be described by randomly-oriented linear trajectories, including any system of objects, organisms, particles, or rays that follow a linear path. Dependent upon the particular random variables that…

We study at the microscopic level the dynamics of a one-dimensional gravitationally interacting sticky gas. Initially, N identical particles of mass m with uncorrelated, randomly distributed velocities fill homogeneously a finite region of…
In this work we introduce a topological method for the search of fixed points and periodic points for continuous maps defined on generalized rectangles in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces. We name our technique "Stretching Along the…
We study a gas of point particles with hard-core repulsion in one dimension where the particles move freely in-between elastic collisions. We prepare the system with a uniform density on the infinite line. The velocities $\{v_i; i \in…
By systematically varying the mobility of self-propelled particles in a two-dimensional (2D) lattice, we experimentally study the influence of particle mobility on system's collective motion. Our system is intrinsically non-equilibrium due…

It has been suggested that the uncertainty in the measurement of a particle's momentum could be made arbitrarily small by observing the particle at two ends of an arbitrarily long flight path. However, consideration of the nature of the…
An infinite system of point particles placed in $\mathds{R}^d$ is studied. Its constituents perform random jumps with mutual repulsion described by a translation-invariant jump kernel and interaction potential, respectively. The pure states…
Nano- and microscale particles, such as colloids, commonly interact over ranges much shorter than their diameters, so it is natural to treat them as "sticky," interacting only when they touch exactly. The lowest-energy states, free…
Based on a first order gradient expansion a consistent transport equation is derived for a nonrelativistic system beyond the quasiparticle approximation, i.e. for a regime where the dynamically generated width of the states is allowed to be…
The integral with respect to a multidimensional stochastic measure, for which we assume only $\sigma$-additivity in probability, is studied. The continuity and differentiability of its realizations are established.
Particles traveling at high velocities through microfluidic channels migrate from their starting streamlines due to inertial lift forces. Theories predict different scaling laws for these forces and there is little experimental evidence by…
We present linear stability analysis for a simple model of particle-laden pipe flow. The model consists of a continuum approximation for the particles two-way coupled to the fluid velocity field via Stokes drag (Saffman 1962). We extend…
Interacting particle methods are increasingly used to sample from complex and high-dimensional distributions. These stochastic particle integration techniques can be interpreted as an universal acceptance-rejection sequential particle…
The transmission of kinetic energy through chains of inelastically colliding spheres is investigated for the case of constant coefficient of restitution \epsilon=const and impact-velocity dependent coefficient \epsilon(v) for viscoelastic…
Understanding and predicting how complex systems respond to external perturbations is a central challenge in nonequilibrium statistical physics. Here we consider continuous-time Markov networks, which we subject to perturbations along a…
We follow the time sequence of binary elastic collisions in a small collection of hard-core particles. Intervals between the collisions are characterized by the numbers of collisions of different pairs in a given time. It was shown…
We study equilibrium configurations of infinitely many identical particles on the real line or finitely many particles on the circle, such that the (repelling) force they exert on each other depends only on their distance. The main question…
