Parrondo games with spatial dependence were introduced by Toral (2001) and have been studied extensively. In Toral's model $N$ players are arranged in a circle. The players play either game $A$ or game $B$. In game $A$, a randomly chosen…

Bayesian inference can be embedded into an appropriately defined dynamics in the space of probability measures. In this paper, we take Brownian motion and its associated Fokker--Planck equation as a starting point for such embeddings and…

We study a quantum walk in one-dimension using two different "coin" operators. By mixing two operators, both of which give a biased walk with negative expectation value for the walker position, it is possible to reverse the bias through…

Relaxation according to Fokker-Planck equations is a standard scenario in classical statistical mechanics. It is however not obvious how such an equilibration may emerge within a closed, finite quantum system. We present an analytical and…

Two losing games, when alternated in a periodic or random fashion, can produce a winning game. This paradox occurs in a family of stochastic processes: if one combines two or more dynamics where a given quantity decreases, the result can be…

We present a quantum implementation of Parrondo's game with randomly switched strategies using 1) a quantum walk as a source of ``randomness'' and 2) a completely positive (CP) map as a randomized evolution. The game exhibits the same…
