We study maximum-entropy inference for finite-dimensional quantum states under linear moment constraints. Given expectation values of finitely many observables, the feasible set of states is convex but typically non-unique. The…
The concept of metastate measures on the states of a random spin system was introduced to be able to treat the large-volume asymptotics for complex quenched random systems, like spin glasses, which may exhibit chaotic volume dependence in…
We consider polynomial long-range Ising models in one dimension, with ferromagnetic pair interactions decaying with power $2-\alpha$ (for $0 \leq \alpha < 1$), and prepared with randomly chosen boundary conditions. We show that at low…
We consider short-range classical spin glasses, or other disordered systems, consisting of Ising spins. For a low-temperature Gibbs state in infinite size in such a system, for given random bonds, it is controversial whether its…
We study metastability for symbolic dynamic. We prove that for a global system given by two independent sub-systems linked by a hole, and for a Lipschitz continuous potential, the global equilibrium state converges, as the hole shrinks, to…
Consider a statistical physical model on the $d$-regular infinite tree $T_{d}$ described by a set of interactions $\Phi$. Let $\{G_{n}\}$ be a sequence of finite graphs with vertex sets $V_n$ that locally converge to $T_{d}$. From $\Phi$…
Recent work of Barbieri and Meyerovitch has shown that, for very general spin systems indexed by sofic groups, equilibrium (i.e. pressure-maximizing) states are Gibbs. The main goal of this paper is to show that the converse fails in an…
We obtain new entropy rigidity results for $u$-Gibbs measures by showing that whenever a $u$-Gibbs measure of a partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism admits an unstable Margulis family, the unstable Jacobian data of the system must to be…
This paper deals with the problem of perfect sampling from a Gibbs measure with infinite range interactions. We present some sufficient conditions for the extinction of processes which are like supermartingales when large values are taken.…
In this paper, we show that Gibbs measures on self-conformal sets generated by a $C^{1+\alpha}$ conformal IFS on $\mathbb{R}^d$ satisfying the OSC are exponentially mixing. We exploit this to obtain essentially sharp asymptotic counting…
We prove that at any inverse temperature $\beta$ and on any transitive amenable graph, the automorphism-invariant Gibbs states of the ferromagnetic Ising model are convex combinations of the plus and minus states. This is obtained for a…
Recoverable systems provide coarse models of data storage on the two-dimensional square lattice, where each site reconstructs its value from neighboring sites according to a specified local rule. To study the typical behavior of recoverable…
We consider mixed states of two qubits and show under which global unitary operations their entanglement is maximized. This leads to a class of states that is a generalization of the Bell states. Three measures of entanglement are…
We exhibit measurements for optimal state estimation which have a finite number of outcomes. This is achieved by a connection between finite optimal measurements and Gauss quadratures. The example we consider to illustrate this connection…
We study the metastable states in Ising spin models with orthogonal interaction matrices. We focus on three realizations of this model, the random case and two non-random cases, i.e.\ the fully-frustrated model on an infinite dimensional…
Answering questions of Y. Rabinovich, we prove "stability" versions of upper bounds on maximal independent set counts in graphs under various restrictions. Roughly these say that being close to the maximum implies existence of a large…
We introduce a general class of mean-field-like spin systems with random couplings that comprises both the Ising model on inhomogeneous dense random graphs and the randomly diluted Hopfield model. We are interested in quantitative estimates…
The optimization problems defining meta-stable or stationary equilibrium are explored. The Gibbs scheme is modified aiming to describe the statistical properties of a class of non-equilibrium and metastable states. The system is assumed to…

In classical finite-range spin systems, especially those with disorder such as spin glasses, a low-temperature Gibbs state may be a mixture of a number of pure or ordered states; the complexity of the Gibbs state has been defined in the…
