We propose and use a novel, hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm that combines configurational bias particle swaps with parallel tempering. We use this new method to simulate a standard model of a glass forming binary mixture above and below the…
We present results of a simulation study of inelastic hard-disks vibrated in a vertical container. An Event-Driven Molecular Dynamics method is developed for studying the onset of convection. Varying the relevant parameters (inelasticity,…
As the temperature of a cooling object decreases as it relaxes to thermal equilibrium, it is intuitively assumed that a hot object should take longer to cool than a warm one. Yet, some 2,300 years ago, Aristotle observed that "to cool hot…
We show that there are two distinct mechanisms that can cause the symmetry-restoration Mpemba effect in spin chains with \textit{weakly broken} integrability, such that the asymptotic equilibration is diffusive, but the lifetime of…
Thermal contact is the archetype of non-equilibrium processes driven by constant non-equilibrium constraints enforced by reservoirs exchanging conserved microscopic quantities. In models with a finite number of possible configurations, if…
Experimental studies of the glassy slowdown in molecular liquids indicate that the high-temperature activation energy $E_{\infty}$ of glass-forming liquids is directly related to their glass transition temperature $T_{\text{g}}$. To further…
Mpemba effects occur after a sudden quench of control parameters if for ''far'' (or ''hot'') initial states with respect to a final target state, the relaxation time toward the target state is shorter than for ''close'' (or ''cold'')…
Anomalous thermalization, particularly the crossings of temperature trajectories from different initial states termed Mpemba crossings (MPCs), have intrigued scientists for decades. While recent studies in quantum systems suggest that…
The Empemba effect (ME) is investigated in the context of ubiquitous quantum oscillating and two-level systems (TLS) using a novel approach (DOI 10.1088/1402-4896/ad97f1). Exact reduced density matrices for various initial states are…
A binary mixture of particles interacting with spherically-symmetric potentials leading to microsegregation is studied by theory and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We consider spherical particles with equal diameters and volume…
The enthalpy of mixing in the liquid phase is a thermodynamic property reflecting interactions between elements that is key to predict phase transformations. Widely used models exist to predict it, but they have never been systematically…
By combining the nonconserved spin-flip dynamics driving ferromagnetic ordering with the conserved Kawasaki-exchange dynamics driving phase segregation, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of the nearest neighbor Ising model. Such a set up…
We study the thermalization dynamics of a quantum system embedded in an incommensurate potential and coupled to a Markovian thermal reservoir. The dephasing induced by the bath drives the system toward an infinite-temperature steady state,…
We investigate temperature quenches across the reentrant phase transition of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in a magnetic field and show that the strong direct and inverse Mpemba effects arise when quenches terminate in the paramagnetic…
Quantum Mpemba effect occurs when a quantum system, residing far away from the steady state, relaxes faster than a relatively nearer state. We look for the presence of this highly counterintuitive effect in the relaxation dynamics of the…
Liquid-liquid phase separation has recently emerged as an important topic in the context of cellular organization. Within this context, there are multiple poorly understood features; for instance hints of critical behavior in the plasma…
It is well-recognized that granular media under rapid flow conditions can be modeled as a gas of hard spheres with inelastic collisions. At moderate densities, a fundamental basis for the determination of the granular hydrodynamics is…

Quantum Monte Carlo simulations of a two-component Bose mixture of trapped dipolar atoms of identical masses and dipole moments, provide numerical evidence of de-mixing at low finite temperatures. De-mixing occurs as a consequence of…
We report anomalous heating in a colloidal system, the first observation of the inverse Mpemba effect, where an initially cold system heats up faster than an identical warm system coupled to the same thermal bath. For an overdamped,…
