Consider the event that there is a $+$ crossing from left to right in a box for the Ising model on the triangular lattice. We show that this event is noise sensitive under Glauber dynamics $t \mapsto \sigma_t$ in the subcritical regime…

We characterize the uniqueness condition in the hardcore model for bipartite graphs with degree bounds only on one side, and provide a nearly linear time sampling algorithm that works up to the uniqueness threshold. We show that the…
Many natural Markov chains fail to mix to their stationary distribution in polynomially many steps. Often, this slow mixing is inevitable since it is computationally intractable to sample from their stationary measure. Nevertheless, Markov…

We experimentally probe the distribution of kink pairs resulting from driving a one-dimensional quantum Ising chain through the paramagnet-ferromagnet quantum phase transition, using a single trapped ion as a quantum simulator in momentum…
The Kuramoto model can be formulated as a gradient flow on a nonconvex energy landscape of the form $E(\boldsymbol{\theta}) := \frac{1}{2} \sum_{1\le i,j\le n} A_{ij}\bigl(1-\cos(\theta_i-\theta_j)\bigr).$ A fundamental question is to…
In this paper, we offer a competing dynamic analysis of the one-dimensional Ising model built on the small-world network (SWN). Adding-type SWNs are investigated in detail using a simplified Hamiltonian of mean-field nature, and the result…
We consider Glauber dynamics (starting from an extremal configuration) in a monotone spin system, and show that interjecting extra updates cannot increase the expected Hamming distance or the total variation distance to the stationary…
