The local entropy of a nonequilibrium system of independent fermions is investigated, and analyzed in the context of the laws of thermodynamics. It is shown that the local temperature and chemical potential can only be expressed in terms of…

We present a new approach to local independence in spin glasses, i.e. the phenomenon that any fixed subset of coordinates is asymptotically independent in the thermodynamic limit. The approach generalizes the rigorous cavity method from…

We show that finite-size violations of local electroneutrality in confined electrolytes are governed by the topology of the confining domain, yielding a universal hierarchy of deviations across spherical, cylindrical, and planar geometries.…

We generalize the coin operator of \cite{Zahed_2023}, to include a step dependent feature which induces localization in $2d$. This is evident from the probability distributions which can be further used to categorize the localized walks.…

Electron localization is the tendency of an electron in a many-body system to exclude other electrons from its vicinity. Using a new natural measure of localization based on the exact manyelectron wavefunction, we find that localization can…

Quantum correlations in networks with independent sources have revealed novel forms of nonclassical behavior. While entanglement in the sources is a necessary ingredient, the role played by entanglement in the measurements remains largely…

We formulate an infinite hierarchy of continuous-variable separability criteria in terms of quasiprobability distributions and their derivatives evaluated at individual points in phase space. Our approach is equivalent to the…

We show that there is equality in Shannon's Entropy Power Inequality (EPI) if and only if the random variables involved are Gaussian, assuming nothing beyond the existence of differential entropies. This is done by justifying de Bruijn's…

A classical construction due to Newhouse creates horseshoes from hyperbolic periodic orbits with large period and weak domination through local $C^1$-perturbations. Our main theorem shows that, when one works in the $C^1$ topology, the…
