We study the efficiency of search processes based on Levy flights (LFs) with power-law distributed jump lengths in the presence of an external drift. While LFs turn out to be efficient search processes when relative to the starting point…
We establish distributional limit theorems for the shape statistics of a concave majorant (i.e. the fluctuations of its length, its supremum, the time it is attained and its value at $T$) of any L\'evy process on $[0,T]$ as $T\to\infty$.…
Orbitally ordered states exhibit unique features which make them a promising platform for exploring the ultrafast dynamics of long-range order in solids: Their free energy typically has multiple discrete minima, and electric laser fields or…
Anelastic light scattering is computed numerically for model disordered systems (linear chains and 2-dimensional site and bond percolators), with and without electrical disorder. A detailed analysis of the vibrational modes and of their…
We studied numerically and experimentally the effects of structural disorder on the performance of ultraviolet photonic crystal slab lasers. Optical gain selectively amplifies the high-quality modes of the passive system. For these modes,…
We study the statistics of encounters of L\'evy flights by introducing the concept of vicious L\'evy flights - distinct groups of walkers performing independent L\'evy flights with the process terminating upon the first encounter between…
In this paper we address the problem of consistently construct Langevin equations to describe fluctuations in non-linear systems. Detailed balance severely restricts the choice of the random force, but we prove that this property together…

Recent advances in small-scale unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have opened up new horizons for establishing UAV-based free-space optical (FSO) links. However, FSO technology requires precise beam alignment while random fluctuations of…
A stochastic gravitational wave background causes the apparent positions of distant sources to fluctuate, with angular deflections of order the characteristic strain amplitude of the gravitational waves. These fluctuations may be detectable…
This paper is the second in a series devoted to the study of Langevin systems subjected to a continuous time-delayed feedback control. The goal of our previous paper [Phys. Rev. E 91, 042114 (2015)] was to derive second-law-like…
The equation with the time fractional substantial derivative and space fractional derivative describes the distribution of the functionals of the L\'evy flights; and the equation is derived as the macroscopic limit of the continuous time…
We study fluctuations of the number of photocounts measured by an ideal photodetector illuminated by light scattered in an amplifying disordered medium, below the threshold for random lasing. We show that the variance of fluctuations and…
Complex systems exhibit rich equilibrium states, yet the universal principles governing these systems remain unrevealed, motivating the search for novel experimental platforms. Random fiber lasers (RFLs), which generate partially-coherent…
We report a direct experimental observation and provide a theory of the distribution of trajectories along which a fluctuating system moves over a potential barrier in escape from a metastable state. The experimental results are obtained…
Vacuum fluctuation, which is the intrinsic nature of an electric field can be measured via homodyne detection. Moreover, electric field intensity fluctuation are also related to vacuum fluctuations. Squeezed vacuum and sub-Poisson light can…
In this paper, we study the small noise behaviour of solutions of a non-linear second order Langevin equation $\ddot x^\varepsilon_t +|\dot x^\varepsilon_t|^\beta=\dot Z^\varepsilon_{\varepsilon t}$, $\beta\in\mathbb R$, driven by symmetric…
We report on the creation of new lasing modes with spatially nonuniform distributions of optical gain in a one-dimensional random structure. It is demonstrated numerically that even without gain saturation and mode competition, the spatial…
A spectrally positive additive L\'evy field is a multidimensional field obtained as the sum $\mathbf{X}_{\rm t}={\rm X}^{(1)}_{t_1}+{\rm X}^{(2)}_{t_2}+\dots+{\rm X}^{(d)}_{t_d}$, ${\rm t}=(t_1,\dots,t_d)\in\mathbb{R}_+^d$, where ${\rm…
A pair of resonant laser fields can drive a three-level system into a dark state where it seizes to absorb and emit radiation due to destructive interference. We propose a scheme to search for this resonance by randomly changing the…
