The Mpemba effect, an example of anomalous thermal relaxations, occurs when a system prepared at a hot temperature overtakes an identical system prepared at a warm temperature and cools down faster to the environment's temperature. We study…

Understanding relaxation dynamics in open quantum systems is a central problem in nonequilibrium quantum physics. Here we investigate the quantum Mpemba effect in the spin-boson model. In the weak-coupling Markovian regime we show that the…
We study the Mpemba effect on a non-equilibrium Markov chain that mimics the run and tumble motion of an active particle in a discrete energy landscape. The broken detailed balance, rendered by the activity, gives rise to a unique anomalous…
The Mpemba effect, broadly understood as the counterintuitive phenomenon in which a system initially farther from equilibrium relaxes faster than a system closer to equilibrium, has been widely studied in classical stochastic systems and,…
Entanglement asymmetry -- used here as a direct probe of symmetry restoration -- provides a sharp diagnostic of post-quench dynamics. We test this idea in the complex Sachdev--Ye--Kitaev model with a conserved U(1) charge. Using exact…
A system initially far from equilibrium is expected to take more time to reach equilibrium than a system that was initially closer to equilibrium. The old puzzling observation (also called Mpemba effect) that when a sample of hot water and…
We explore the role of activity in the occurrence of the Mpemba effect within a system of an active colloid diffusing in a potential landscape devoid of metastable minimum. The Mpemba effect is characterized by a phenomenon where a hotter…
The "Mpemba effect" is the name given to the assertion that hot water freezes quicker than cold water1 or, in a modern and more general form, that the system that is initially more distant from its equilibrium state comes to this state…
The quantum Mpemba effect (ME) in Markovian systems is conventionally explained by a smaller overlap between the initial state and the slowest decay mode (SDM). Such state, initially farther away from equilibrium or steady state, relaxes…
We consider a quantum many-body system on a lattice with a continuous symmetry which exhibits a spontaneous symmetry breaking in its infinite volume ground states, but in which the order operator does not commute with the Hamiltonian. A…
Despite extensive research, the fundamental physical mechanisms underlying the Mpemba effect, a phenomenon where a substance cools faster after initially being heated, remain elusive. Although historically linked with water, the Mpemba…
The quantum Mpemba effect concerns with anomalous relaxation of quantum states that evolves either under unitary or non-unitary dynamics. In the context of open quantum systems, while most studies focus on quantum states evolving under…
The Mpemba effect is a thermodynamic anomaly in which a system farther away in temperature from equilibrium thermalizes before one that is initially closer. The effect has been experimentally observed across a wide range of systems,…
