In quantum field theory, heavy particles with mass $M$ much greater than the temperature $T$ give not only effects suppressed by the Boltzmann factor $e^{-M/T}$, but also effects suppressed by powers of $T/M$. We show that power-suppressed…
The totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) is a well studied example of far-from-equilibrium dynamics. Here, we consider a TASEP with open boundaries but impose a global constraint on the total number of particles. In other…

Strongly correlated materials are expected to feature unconventional transport properties, such that charge, spin, and heat conduction are potentially independent probes of the dynamics. In contrast to charge transport, the measurement of…
We introduce a class of one-dimensional lattice models in which a quantity, that may be thought of as an energy, is either transported from one site to a neighbouring one, or locally dissipated. Transport is controlled by a continuous bias…
The growing need for smaller electronic components has recently sparked the interest in the breakdown of the classical conductivity theory near the atomic scale, at which quantum effects should dominate. In 2012, experimental measurements…
