We study a so-called semi-ergodic brickwork dual-unitary circuits where, in the infinite volume limit, the two-point correlation functions of single-site operators exhibit ergodic behavior along one light ray and non-ergodic behavior along…
Adaptive physical and biological systems continually process fluctuating information from their environments. When the environment is nonstationary, inference itself becomes a nonequilibrium process with thermodynamic cost. We analyse a…
Collective synchronization is often summarized by a complex order parameter $R e^{i\Psi}$, implicitly treating the global phase $\Psi$ as a meaningful macroscopic coordinate. Here we ask when $\Psi$ becomes \emph{operationally well-defined}…
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) provide fundamental constraints on the interplay between power fluctuations, entropy production, and efficiency in overdamped stationary autonomous heat engines. However, their validity in…
Time-reversal (TR) symmetry is crucial for understanding a wide range of physical phenomena, and plays a key role in constraining fundamental particle interactions and in classifying phases of quantum matter. In this work, we introduce an…
Systems driven far from equilibrium may exhibit anomalous density fluctuations: active matter with orientational order display giant density fluctuations at large scale, while systems of interacting particles close to an absorbing phase…
We revisit the approach to the lower critical dimension $d_{\rm lc}$ in the Ising-like $\varphi^4$ theory within the functional renormalization group by studying the lowest approximation levels in the derivative expansion of the effective…
We study non-equilibrium steady states and recurrence times in noisy, stroboscopically monitored qubit systems using complete measurements. In the noiseless limit, recurrence times are integer-quantized, with dips to lower integers when…
Understanding the role of inertia in nanoscale heat transport is fundamental to the design of efficient nano-thermodynamics systems. In this work, we experimentally address the non-equilibrium dynamics of a Brownian gyrator, a paradigmatic…
These notes are based on lectures delivered by G. Schehr at the XVIth School on Fundamental Problems in Statistical Physics (FPSP), held in Oropa (Italy) from 30 June to 11 July 2025. After a brief introduction to extreme value statistics…
We algebraically prove the asymmetry in thermal relaxation in phase space in the entire range from overdamped dynamics to underdamped dynamics. We show that for the same setup as for overdamped dynamics, even in the more general case of…
We investigate the stochastic dynamics of a quasiparticle within a gas of hard rods, focusing on the evolution of its mean, variance, and autocorrelation for two choices of initial states: (i) one with long-range (LR) correlations and (ii)…
In discrete models describing growing rough interfaces of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class, we examine height fluctuations at a fixed site as a function of time in the monolayer unit. For small systems, we show that it is possible…
We prove that free fermions in the spin (tensor product) factorization violate monogamy of mutual information: $I_3^{\mathrm{spin}} > 0$ for adjacent strips of width $w \le 6$ at all Fermi momenta, and for all $w$ at $z = k_F w < z^*…
We derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) under quantum continuous measurement and feedback control. By incorporating the quantum-classical-transfer entropy, which quantifies the information gained by continuous measurement, we…
The establishment of the Wilson-Fisher fixed point (WFP) for $O(n)$ spin models in $d=4-\epsilon$ dimensions stands as a cornerstone of the renormalization group (RG) theory for critical phenomena. However, when long-range (LR)…
I introduce a new analytical framework for estimating critical temperatures in interacting many-body systems, focusing on the Ising model. Combining the Bethe cluster setting, the Metropolis update, and the Galam Majority Model developed in…
We study the Heisenberg spin-1/2 model on a semi-infinite chain - or, equivalently, a trotterized unitary SU(2) symmetric six-vertex quantum circuit - with a boundary defect where the interaction between the two spins nearest the edge…
Finite size fluctuations are a crucial ingredient in kinetic theory of long-range interacting collisionless systems. In this Letter, we introduce a phenomenological theory which predicts an anomalous scaling close to marginal stability for…
We consider the Bethe ansatz integrable Russian Doll (RD) model of superconductivity with time-reversal symmetry breaking, which exhibits a cyclic renormalization group. By obtaining an exact solution for the renormalization group flows, we…
