We derive a closed-form joint distribution of the first arrival time (FAT) and first arrival position (FAP) in drift-diffusion molecular communication (MC) channels. In contrast to prior studies that analyze FAT or FAP in isolation, our…

Single-file transport, which corresponds to the diffusion of particles that cannot overtake each other in narrow channels, is an important topic in out-of-equilibrium statistical physics. Various microscopic models of single-file systems…

It has been conjectured that transport in integrable one-dimensional (1D) systems is necessarily ballistic. The large diffusive response seen experimentally in nearly ideal realizations of the S=1/2 1D Heisenberg model is therefore puzzling…
