One of the manifestations of the quantum Mpemba effect (QME) is that a tilted ferromagnet exhibits faster restoration of the spin-rotational symmetry after a quantum quench when starting from a larger tilt angle. This phenomenon has…

Despite decades of research, the Mpemba Effect challenges scientists, prompting further investigation and refinement of existing hypotheses. This work uses optical tools such as thermography to analyze and study the Mpemba effect on drops.…

In this work, we extend the recent study of entropy dynamics induced by an external impulse in open quantum systems, where the entropy response follows the Page curve. For small system-bath coupling $\kappa$, we expect that the entropy…
