Universality and scaling are hallmarks of second-order phase transitions but are generally unexpected in first-order quantum phase transitions (FOQPTs). We present a microscopic theory showing that quantum criticality can emerge around the…
An axiomatic foundation regarding the entropy for complex systems is established. Missing from decades of research was the requirement that entropy must measure the uncertainty at the informational scale of the maximizing distribution,…
We study a system of backscattering hard rods in one dimension. Contrary to the usual ballistic hard rods, these hard rods flip the sign of their velocities with a rate $\gamma$. This leads to the decay of the odd moments of velocity while…
Several approximation procedures, such as the full or partial rotating-wave, time-averaging, and geometric-arithmetic approximations, have been proposed to derive Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) generators from the Born-Markov…
The Boltzmann-Loschmidt dispute of 1876 questioned the possibility of a statistical irreversible description by time reversible classical equations of motion of atoms. Here we show analytically and numerically that the quantum chaos…
We study transient nonequilibrium dynamics in Fisher-regularized Wasserstein gradient flows and identify a sign-changing cross-dissipation mechanism generated by the coupling between transport dissipation and Fisher-information geometry.…
We develop a systematic theory of spectral decimation for quantum many-body Hamiltonians and show that it provides a quantitative probe of emergent symmetries in statistically mixed spectra. Building on an analytical description of…
The exact solution of a two-dimensional (2D) Ising model with the next nearest interactions at zero magnetic field is derived. At first, the transfer matrices are analyzed in three representations, i.e., Clifford algebraic representation,…
We derive exact critical-temperature bounds for the classical ferromagnetic Ising model on two-dimensional periodic tessellations of the plane. For any such tessellation or lattice, the critical temperature is bounded from above by a…
Changing environmental conditions can significantly affect the dynamics of disease spread. These changes may arise naturally or result from human interventions; in the latter case, lockdown measures that lead to abrupt but temporary…
We investigate the dynamics of the Fermi--Pasta--Ulam--Tsingou chain with long-wavelength random initial data. When the energy per particle is small, thermal equilibrium is not reached on a fast timescale and the system enters…
In 1955 Fermi, Pasta, Ulam and Tsingou performed first numerical studies with the aim to obtain the thermalization in a chain of nonlinear oscillators from dynamical equations of motion. This model happend to have several specific features…
In this study, we examine how the thermomagnetic characteristics of spin-1/2 Ising trilayer ferrimagnets made of coupled square monolayers with ABA and AAB stacking sequences are affected by controlled site dilution. The system is composed…
It is shown that most of the existing versions of the Bhatnagar$-$Gross$-$Krook model $-$ those whose coefficient are independent of the molecular velocity $-$ do not satisfy the Onsager relations. This circumstance poses a problem when…
In this article, we present an improved version of the PULSE method (Partition function Unsupervised Learning Sampling and Evaluation) for estimating the thermodynamic properties of chemically disordered compounds. The aim is to reduce the…
We consider a Brownian particle confined by an external potential and subject to stochastic resetting to the origin. Motivated by the repetitive nature of the dynamics, we describe the process as a thermodynamic cycle of thermal expansion…
We study barrier crossing in a two-state system, namely the kinetic Ising model, in the presence of a weak bias field and spatially homogeneous, but time-dependent, Gaussian random fields. We find that the bias field determines the location…
Estimating a fractal dimension from a finite stochastic trajectory is a finite-size scaling problem: the apparent box-counting exponent is shaped by an occupancy crossover between the resolved range of scales and the finite number of…
The entropy production rate is central to the study of non-equilibrium systems. This parameter is closely connected to violation of time-reversal symmetry, energy consumption, efficiency, and other properties of interest; in short, it…
The maximum entropy production (MEP) principle is a hypothetical law of physics which dictates that complex systems, far from equilibrium, evolve into an ordered dissipative structure (DS) which generates as much entropy per second as…
