We apply a recently developed theory for metastability in open quantum systems to a one-dimensional dissipative quantum Ising model. Earlier results suggest this model features either a non-equilibrium phase transition or a smooth but sharp…
We examine the linear and nonlinear modes of a one-dimensional nonlinear electrical lattice, where the usual discrete Laplacian is replaced by a fractional discrete Laplacian. This induces a long-range intersite coupling that, at long…
We analyze, in both (1+1)- and (2+1)- dimensions, a periodic elastic medium in which the periodicity is such that at long distances the behavior is always in the random-substrate universality class. This contrasts with the models with an…
