Despite the importance of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, it is not absolute. Statistical mechanics implies that, given sufficient time, systems near equilibrium will spontaneously fluctuate into lower-entropy states, locally reversing…
The realization of the Hofstadter model in a strongly anisotropic ladder geometry has now become possible in one-dimensional optical lattices with a synthetic dimension. In this work, we show how the Hofstadter Hamiltonian in such ladder…
We analyze the hard-core Bose-Hubbard model with both the three-body and nearest neighbor repulsions on the triangular lattice. The phase diagram is achieved by means of the semi-classical approximation and the quantum Monte Carlo…
We investigate the relaxation dynamics of an interacting Stark-localized system coupled to a dephasing bath, and compare its behavior to the conventional disorder-induced many body localized system. Specifically, we study the dynamics of…
On the grounds of a Feynman-Kac--type formula for Hamiltonian lattice systems we derive analytical expressions for the matrix elements of the evolution operator. These expressions are valid at long times when a central limit theorem…
We consider the dynamics of a quantum system immersed in a dilute gas at thermodynamics equilibrium using a quantum Markovian master equation derived by applying the low-density limit technique. It is shown that the Gibbs state at the bath…

Various lattice gas automata have been proposed in the past decades to simulate physics and address a host of problems on collective dynamics arising in diverse fields. In this work, we employ the lattice gas model defined on the sphere to…
A two-dimensional half-filled lattice gas model with nearest-neighbor attractive interaction is studied where particles are coupled to two thermal baths at different temperatures $T_1$ and $T_2$. The hopping of particles is governed by the…
We investigate the Hubbard model on the anisotropic triangular lattice as a suggested effective description of the Mott phase in various triangular organic compounds. Employing the variational cluster approximation and the ladder…
A reasonable physical intuition in the study of interacting quantum systems says that, independent of the initial state, the system will tend to equilibrate. In this work we study a setting where relaxation to a steady state is exact,…
We review and complete the existing literature on the kinetic theory of spatially homogeneous systems with long-range interactions taking collective effects into account. The evolution of the system as a whole is described by the…
We study the Bose and Fermi Hubbard model in the (formal) limit of large coordination numbers $Z\gg1$. Via an expansion into powers of $1/Z$, we establish a hierarchy of correlations which facilitates an approximate analytical derivation of…
We study a three-state Potts model extended by allowing cyclic dominance between the states as it appears for the rock-scissors-paper game. Monte Carlo simulations are performed on a square lattice when varying the temperature and the…
Many-body systems with strong interactions often exhibit macroscopic behavior markedly absent in single-particle or noninteracting limits. Such emergent phenomena are well exemplified in lattice Hubbard models, where the interplay between…
We develop a Landauer-B\"uttiker theory of entropy evolution in time-dependent strongly coupled electron systems. This formalism naturally avoids the problem of system-bath distinction caused by the strong hybridization of central system…
We study equilibrium properties of a system of particles in two dimensions, interacting with pair and three body potentials, which undergoes a structural transition from a square to a rhombic lattice and thus constitutes a simple model for…
We propose a new scenario for glassy dynamics in frustrated systems with no quenched-in randomness, based on jamming of extended dynamical structures near a critical point. This route to a glassy state is demonstrated in a lattice model of…
We study a model for itinerant, strongly interacting fermions where a judicious tuning of the interactions leads to a supersymmetric Hamiltonian. On the triangular lattice this model is known to exhibit a property called superfrustration,…
The search for materials with topological properties is an ongoing effort. In this article we propose a systematic statistical method supported by machine learning techniques that is capable of constructing topological models for a generic…
