We consider fluctuations of the time-averaged current in the one-dimensional weakly-asymmetric exclusion process on a ring. The optimal density profile which sustains a given fluctuation exhibits an instability for low enough currents,…

We uncover an emergent universality in the large-scale, long-time statistics of a one-dimensional hard-rod gas evolving under two fundamentally different classes of microscopic dynamics: stochastic (diffusive) and unitary (ballistic).…

Single-file diffusion is a one-dimensional interacting infinite-particle system in which the order of particles never changes. An intriguing feature of single-file diffusion is that the mean-square displacement of a tagged particle exhibits…

Single-file transport refers to the motion of particles in a narrow channel, such that they cannot bypass each other. This constraint leads to strong correlations between the particles, described by correlation profiles, which measure the…
