The typicality of the canonical state shows that majority of the states are indistinguishable from equilibrium, and thus the nonequilibrium states are exceptionally rare in the extremely high-dimensional Hilbert space. On the contrary, we…

A Langevin equation is suggested to describe a system driven by correlated Gaussian white noise as well as with positive and negative damping demarcated by a critical velocity. The equation can be transformed into the Fokker-Planck equation…
