We report the ground-state entropy of a 2-d Ising model on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice. We also study a generalization of this model, where a constraint on the zero temperature allowed configurations is removed continuously.
Absence of local conserved quantities, or \textit{nonintegrability}, is often assumed when discussing various phenomena in quantum many-body systems, such as thermalization and transport. However, no concrete proof of this property is known…
In this work we ask what the self-consistency of a classical hydrodynamic description imposes on a quantum system. The quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem, when read in the time domain, acts as a blurring of the fine details of the…
The construction of models from data is a significant contributor to the energetic costs of computation. Because of this, understanding how foundational thermodynamic bounds apply to modeling algorithms will be increasingly important. Here,…
The chemical potential is defined as the work to quasi-statically add a particle to an equilibrium system. Inspired by this definition, we investigate how the work to add a particle to an active fluid depends on the activity, density, and…
We present analytical results for first-passage processes in a deterministic one-dimensional cellular automaton (CA) model of traffic flow. Starting at time $t=0$ from a random initial state with car density p, at every time step $t\ge 1$…
We study the fermionic non-Gaussianity in typical quantum states, focusing on Haar random states of qubits with or without a global $U(1)$ symmetry. Using the Weingarten calculus, we derive analytical predictions for the non-Gaussianity,…
It was recently conjectured and verified for the transverse-field Ising model [Phys. Rev. B 113, 165102 (2026)] that, after a sudden quench within the same equilibrium phase, the initial ground state has its largest overlap with the final…
The statistical mechanics of particles that populate indistinguishable energy sub-states is explored. In particular, the mathematical treatment of the microstates differs from conventional statistical mechanics where for a given degeneracy,…
What are the resources that can be leveraged for a thermodynamic device to exhibit genuine quantum advantage? Typically, the answer to this question is sought in quantum correlations. In the present work, we show that quantum Otto engines…
Decoding stabilizer codes such as the surface and toric codes involves evaluating free-energy differences in a disordered statistical mechanics model, in which the randomness comes from the observed pattern of error syndromes. We study the…
We develop a Monte Carlo sampling algorithm to numerically evaluate the Lehmann representation for the finite temperature single-particle Green's function in the repulsive Lieb-Liniger model. This allows us to determine the spectral…
We study the symmetric Dyson exclusion process (SDEP) - a lattice gas with exclusion and long-range, Coulomb-type interactions that emerge both as the maximal-activity limit of the symmetric exclusion process and as a discrete version of…
Two remote agents with synchronized clocks may use them to act in concert and communicate. This necessitates some means of creating and maintaining synchrony. One method, not requiring any direct interaction between the agents, is to expose…
The solvation environments of Li$^+$ in conventional non-aqueous battery electrolytes, such as LiPF$_6$ in mixtures of ethylene carbaronate (EC) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), are often used to rationalize the transport properties of…
We study the critical behavior of the $O(n)$ model under steady shear flow using a dynamical renormalization group (RG) method. Incorporating the strong anisotropy in scaling ansatz, which has been neglected in earlier RG analyses, we…
We derive the mutual coherence function of an electron beam propagating through a static or dynamic Coulomb-disordered medium and show that its decay introduces an intrinsic coherence-reduction mechanism relevant for electron microscopy in…
Although the classical density functional theory (DFT) of inhomogeneous fluids was formulated more than four decades ago, its application to broken symmetry phases of molecular systems remained a challenge. Approximate free energy…
We study a generalization of two-dimensional site percolation by assigning an energy cost $\varepsilon$ to bonds between nearest-neighbor occupied sites. This leads to a competition between entropy-driven cluster growth and energetic…
We extend the static theory of disorder-induced exponential decay of the averaged Green function of a quantum charged particle in a classical one-component plasma to the dynamic regime by incorporating the temporal evolution of the ionic…
