We investigate the nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS) of the two-dimensional Ising model under a stochastic dichotomous modulation of temperature, which alternates between $T_c \pm \delta$ around the critical temperature $T_c$ at a rate…
We investigate a one-dimensional three-species dynamical model whose dynamics naturally generate the semi-directed percolation cluster in time and show a non-equilibrium absorbing state phase transition from an active to inactive state. The…
Data-driven models can accurately describe and predict the dynamical properties of glass-forming liquids from structural data. Accurate predictions, however, do not guarantee an understanding of the underlying physical phenomena and the key…
The characterization of ensembles of many-qubit random states and their realization via quantum circuits are crucial tasks in quantum-information theory. In this work, we study the ensembles generated by quantum circuits that randomly…
We revisit the structure of the phase diagram of the two-component mean-field Bose mixture at finite temperatures, considering both the cases of attractive and repulsive interspecies interactions. In particular, we analyze the evolution of…
We study a two-dimensional, off-lattice particle model introduced to describe absorbing phase transitions in driven non-Brownian suspensions. We numerically explore the $(\phi,\epsilon)$ phase diagram, where $\phi$ is the packing fraction…
The emergence of life from inanimate matter presents a thermodynamic challenge: the Second Law of Thermodynamics dictates a global trend towards disorder, yet life constitutes localized pockets of profound organization. This paper presents…
Predicting how materials behave under realistic conditions requires understanding the statistical distribution of atomic configurations on crystal lattices, a problem central to alloy design, catalysis, and the study of phase transitions.…
We investigate how a weak constant force becomes detectable through fluctuations in anomalous transport in strongly heterogeneous media. Rather than focusing on the mean drift, we show that the key signature of the force appears in the…
The first-return time is the time that it takes a random walker to go back to the initial position for the first time. We study the first-return time when random walkers perform fractional kinetics, specifically fractional diffusion, that…
We investigate the behavior of dynamical systems with nonholonomic constraints when coupled to a thermal bath, focusing on the paradigmatic case of the Chaplygin sleigh. A straightforward Langevin-type approach obtained by naively adding…
We propose a novel protocol to realize discrete time-crystal (DTC) order in clean, periodically driven spin-$1/2$ chains. In each drive cycle, a global spin flip is followed by a two-tone flat-band segment. This flat-band segment engineers…
We investigate the coarsening kinetics in a long-range variant of the Persistent Voter Model in space dimension $d=1$ and 2. In this model agents can hold two confidence levels, normal and zealot. If normal, agents take the opinion of…
Linear response theory lies at the foundation of transport phenomena, predicting that physical systems respond proportionally to weak external forces. Here we show that this principle can break down in a minimal nonequilibrium setting due…
We study the protection of information in nearly critical topological quantum codes, constructed by perturbing topological stabilizer codes towards continuous quantum phase transitions. Our focus is on the transverse-field toric code…
Channel-mediated transport is ubiquitous in biology. A series of works by different theoreticians have sought to determine how the diffusive flux through a channel depends on (a) stochastic gating, (b) channel geometry, and (c)…
We study information flow on a weighted graph whose topology evolves according to a spectral curvature measure $\mathcal{R}$. The model (FIU) defines $\mathcal{R}$ from the diagonal of the graph Green function, propagates energy with…
It is expected that a generic closed many-body system prepared in a well-behaved initial state and subjected to a periodic drive will eventually thermalize, i.e. approach the state of maximal entropy. This property, while compatible with…
In this work, we consider partial consumption of food by a forager in presence of a threshold energy level. The forager considered here can survive for $S$ steps without food, namely the survival time. The threshold limits the consumption…
The empirical speed of travelling reaction-diffusion fronts fluctuates due to the intrinsic shot noise of the reactions and diffusion. Here we study the long-time front speed fluctuations of a stochastic Huxley-Zel'dovich front. It involves…
