We study the energy dynamics of a particle in a billiard subject to a rapid periodic drive. In the regime of large driving frequencies $\omega$, we find that the particle's energy evolves diffusively, which suggests that the particle's…

We investigate single-particle diffusion in a two-state Langevin model where the friction coefficient randomly switches between low-friction (liquid-like) and high-friction (glassy-like) states. The dynamics are governed by the ratio…

We calculate the energy release associated with a strong first-order phase transition, from normal phase N to an "exotic" superdense phase S, in a rotating neutron star. Such a phase transition, accompanied by a density jump rho_N -->…
