The idea of making photons effectively interact has attracted a lot of interest in recent years, for several reasons. Firstly, since photons do not naturally interact with each other, it is of fundamental physical interest to see what kind…
Using a multiple-image reconstruction method applied to a harmonically trapped Bose gas, we determine the equation of state of uniform matter across the critical transition point, within the local density approximation. Our experimental…
Non-equilibrium radiation is addressed theoretically by means of a stochastic lattice-gas model. We consider a resonating transmission line composed of a chain of radiation resonators, each at a local equilibrium, whose boundaries are in…
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that deviations from standard thermodynamics originate from the strong coupling to the bath, it is shown that in quantum mechanics, these deviations originate from the uncertainty principle and are…
We study a topological physics in a one-dimensional nonlinear system by taking an instance of a mechanical rotator model with alternating spring constants. This nonlinear model is smoothly connected to an acoustic model described by the…
The flourishing of topological photonics in the last decade was achieved mainly due to developments in linear topological photonic structures. However, when nonlinearity is introduced, many intriguing questions arise. For example, are there…
We introduce a stability criterion for quantum statistical ensembles describing macroscopic systems. An ensemble is called "stable" when a small number of local measurements cannot significantly modify the probability distribution of the…
We study the far-from-equilibrium statistical mechanics of periodically driven fermionic atoms in a lossy optical resonator. We show that the interplay of the Fermi surface with cavity losses leads to sub-natural cavity linewidth narrowing,…
It is shown here that symmetric hyperbolicity, which guarantees well-posedness, leads to a set of two inequalities for matrices whose elements are determined by a given theory. As a part of the calculation, carried out in a mostly-covariant…
Diffusion occurs in numerous physical systems throughout nature, drawing its generality from the universality of the central limit theorem. Around a century ago it was realized that an extension to this type of dynamics can be obtained in…
Building on the principle of combinatorial gauge symmetry, lattice gauge theories can be formulated with only one- and two-body interactions that ensure the exact realization of the symmetry rather than its approximate emergence in a…
Long-range interacting Hamiltonian systems are believed to relax generically towards non-equilibrium states called "quasi-stationary" because they evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium very slowly, on a time-scale diverging with particle…
The phenomenon of partial equivalence of statistical ensembles is illustrated by discussing two examples, the mean-field XY and the mean-field spherical model. The configurational parts of these systems exhibit partial equivalence of the…
Non-Gibbsian stationary states occur in dissipative non-equilibrium systems. They are closely connected with the lack of detailed balance and the absence of a fluctuation-dissipation theorem. These states exhibit spatial correlations that…
We study one-dimensional disordered systems with average non-invertible symmetries, where quenched disorder may locally break part of the symmetry while preserving it upon disorder averaging. A canonical example is the random…
Optomechanical systems provide a unique platform for observing quantum behavior of macroscopic objects. However, efforts towards realizing nonlinear behavior at the single photon level have been inhibited by the small size of the radiation…
The mathematical physics of mechanical systems in thermal equilibrium is a well studied, and relatively easy, subject, because the Gibbs distribution is in general an adequate guess for the equilibrium state. On the other hand, the…
We present a unified framework, with quantitative estimates, for deterministic interacting particle systems whose pairwise interactions may depend on heterogeneous labels. Heterogeneity is kept at every level by adding a frozen label…
The infinite set of coupled integral nonlinear equations for correlation functions in the case of classical canonical ensemble is considered. Some kind of graph expansions of correlation functions in the density parameter are constructed.…
The notion of (non)contextuality pertains to sets of properties measured one subset (context) at a time. We extend this notion to include so-called inconsistently connected systems, in which the measurements of a given property in different…
