We show that the effective spin-spin interaction between three-level atoms confined in a multimode optical cavity is long-ranged and sign-changing, like the RKKY interaction; therefore, ensembles of such atoms subject to frozen-in…
Disordered systems generically exhibit aging and a glass transition. Previous studies have long suggested that non-reciprocity tends to destroy glassiness. Here, we show that this is not always the case using a bipartite spherical…
In this review we define and discuss metastates, mathematical tools with general applicability to thermodynamic systems which are particularly useful when working with disordered or inhomogeneous short-range systems. In an infinite such…
