We study the influence of a structural disorder on the thermodynamical properties of 2D-elastic chains submitted to mechanical/topological constraint as loops. The disorder is introduced via a spontaneous curvature whose distribution along…

Entropy is a fundamental concept in quantum information theory that allows to quantify entanglement and investigate its properties, for example its monogamy over multipartite systems. Here, we derive variational formulas for relative…

The Ising chains in a transverse magnetic field of constant strength (h=1) and with the spin interaction value \lambda are considered. In the case of infinitely long chain, exact analytical expressions are found for the second central…

The electrodynamic response of DNA in the millimeter wave range is investigated. By performing measurements under a wide range of humidity conditions and comparing the response of single strand DNA and double strand DNA, we show that the…

Transfer entropy is a widely used measure for quantifying directed information flows in complex systems. While the challenges of estimating transfer entropy for continuous data are well known, it has two major shortcomings for data of…

We investigate entanglement growth for a pair of coupled kicked rotors. For weak coupling, the growth of the entanglement entropy is found to be initially linear followed by a logarithmic growth. We calculate analytically the time after…

This article presents the calculation of the entropy of a system with Zipfian distribution and shows that a communication system tends to present an exponent value close to one, but still greater than one, so that it might maximize entropy…

We studied the electrical conductivity of DNA samples as function of the number of DNA molecules. We showed that the insulating gap (no current at low voltage) increases from ~1-2 V for bundles and large ropes to ~4-7 V for few DNA…

We study the entanglement entropy as a probe of the proximity effect of a superconducting system by using the gauge/gravity duality in a fully back-reacted gravity system. While the entanglement entropy in the superconducting phase is less…

A common approach to quantifying DNA involves repeated cycles of DNA amplification. This approach, employed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), produces outputs that are corrupted by amplification noise, making it challenging to…

We explore the relation between entanglement entropy of quantum many body systems and the distribution of corresponding, properly selected, observables. Such a relation is necessary to actually measure the entanglement entropy. We show that…

We investigated how the finiteness of the length of the sequence affects the phase transition that takes place at DNA melting temperature. For this purpose, we modified the Transfer Integral method to adapt it to the calculation of both…

Charge transfer in a DNA duplex chain is studied by constructing a system with virtual electrodes connected at the ends of each DNA strand. The systeym is described by the tight-binding model and its transport is analyzed by the transfer…

Entropy is a measure of self-information which is used to quantify losses. Entropy was developed in thermodynamics, but is also used to compare probabilities based on their deviating information content. Corresponding model uncertainty is…

Correlation length exponent $\nu$ for long linear DNA molecules was determined by direct measurement of the average end-to-end distance as a function of the contour length $s$ by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Linear DNA, up to…

Loop extrusion is one of the main processes shaping chromosome organisation across the cell cycle, yet its role in regulating DNA entanglement and nucleoplasm viscoelasticity remains overlooked. We simulate entangled solutions of linear…

Grafting linkers with open ends of complementary single-stranded DNA makes a flexible tool to tune interactions between colloids,which facilitates the design of complex self-assembly structures. Recently, it has been proposed to coat…

Collective coordinate and direct numerical integration methods are applied to the analysis of a one-dimensional DNA model. A modification of the coupling constant in an extended region is found to be less selective towards the breather it…

We show that minuscule entropic forces, on the order of 100 fN, can prevent the formation of DNA loops--a ubiquitous means of regulating the expression of genes. We observe a tenfold decrease in the rate of LacI-mediated DNA loop formation…

Entropy production is often interpreted as a proxy for microscopic disorder or environmental roughness in stochastic systems. We test this interpretation using controlled simulations of overdamped stochastic dynamics on curved surfaces in…
