The Mpemba effect denotes an anomalous relaxation phenomenon where a system initially at a hot temperature cools faster than a system that starts at a less elevated temperature. We introduce an isothermal analog of this effect for a system…

The Mpemba effect refers to systems whose thermal relaxation time is a non-monotonic function of the initial temperature. Thus, a system that is initially hot cools to a bath temperature more quickly than the same system, initially warm. In…

The Mpemba effect (a counterintuitive thermal relaxation process where an initially hotter system may cool down to the steady state sooner than an initially colder system) is studied in terms of a model of inertial suspensions under shear.…

In a many-body localized (MBL) quantum system, the ergodic hypothesis breaks down completely, giving rise to a fundamentally new many-body phase. Whether and under which conditions MBL can occur in higher dimensions remains an outstanding…

We investigate the quantum Mpemba effect in a dissipative Dicke model, which consists of a spin-1/2 ensemble coupled to a bosonic mode, which in turn is coupled to a bosonic bath. We derive a sufficient criterion for occurrence of the…

The large deviation theory has recently been applied to open quantum systems to uncover dynamical crossovers in the space of quantum trajectories associated to Markovian evolutions. Such dynamical crossovers are characterized by qualitative…

Describing non-equilibrium properties of quantum many-body systems is challenging due to high entanglement in the wavefunction. We describe evolution of local observables via the influence matrix (IM), which encodes the effects of a…

The name "Mpemba effect" was given to the finding that "If two systems are cooled, the water that starts hotter may freeze first", confirmed by numerous of observations. Now this paradoxical state-ment obtained a more general form "the…

Anomalous thermal relaxation is ubiquitous in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. An emblematic example of this is the Mpemba effect, where an initially ``hot'' system cools faster than an initially ``cooler'' one. This effect has…

Dynamical phase transitions in the relaxation behavior of stochastic quantum walks are investigated, focusing on systems where coherent unitary evolution is periodically interrupted by dephasing. This interplay leads to a classicalization…

The quantum Mpemba effect (QMpE) describes an anomalous thermalization phenomenon in which quantum states initially far from equilibrium can approach thermal equilibrium faster than states that begin closer to it. While this effect has been…

The Mpemba effect describes the situation in which a hot system cools faster than an identical copy that is initiated at a colder temperature. In many of the experimental observations of the effect, e.g. in water and clathrate hydrates, it…

Mpemba effects occur after a sudden quench of control parameters if for ''far'' (or ''hot'') initial states with respect to a final target state, the relaxation time toward the target state is shorter than for ''close'' (or ''cold'')…
