We apply a recently developed theory for metastability in open quantum systems to a one-dimensional dissipative quantum Ising model. Earlier results suggest this model features either a non-equilibrium phase transition or a smooth but sharp…

We consider three extensions of the standard 2D Ising model with Glauber dynamics on a finite torus at low temperature. The first model is an anisotropic version, where the interaction energy takes different values on vertical and on…
We examine a non-reversible, mean-field Potts model with three spins on a set with $N\uparrow\infty$ points. Without an external field, there are three critical temperatures and five different metastable regimes. The analysis can be…
Finite-size effects in the mean-field Ising spin glass and the mean-field three-state Potts glass are investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. In the thermodynamic limit, each model is known to exhibit a continuous phase transition into the…
We propose a class of mean-field models for the isostatic transition of systems of soft spheres, in which the contact network is modeled as a random graph and each contact is associated to $d$ degrees of freedom. We study such models in the…
The goal of the present work is to investigate the role of trivial disorder and nontrivial disorder in the three-state Hopfield model under a Gaussian random field. In order to control the nontrivial disorder, the Hebb interaction is used.…
We study the critical behavior of a general class of cubic-symmetric spin systems in which disorder preserves the reflection symmetry $s_a\to -s_a$, $s_b\to s_b$ for $b\not= a$. This includes spin models in the presence of random…
Ising's solution of a classical spin model famously demonstrated the absence of a positive-temperature phase transition in one-dimensional equilibrium systems with short-range interactions. No-go arguments established that the energy cost…

Activated transitions have rates that are often exponentially small in system size. Extracting the associated activation barriers is challenging in practice, especially in the deeply metastable regimes and in the presence of disorder. Here,…
