These are lecture notes for a mini-course given at the Cornell Probability Summer School in July 2013. Topics include lozenge tilings of polygons and their representation theoretic interpretation, the (q,t)-deformation of those leading to…
This memoir is dedicated to the late Francis Hayin Ree, a formative influence shaping my work in statistical mechanics. Between 1963 and 1968 we collaborated on nine papers published in the Journal of Chemical Physics. Those dealt with the…
Lecture notes given at the summer school ``Applications of random matrices to physics", Les Houches, June 2004.
Contribution to the proceedings of the 1998 Enrico Fermi summer school on Bose-Einstein condensation in Varenna, Italy.
This volume contains the accepted papers at the third Workshop on Membrane Computing and Biologically Inspired Process Calculi, held in Bologna on 5th September 2009. The papers are devoted to both membrane computing and biologically…
This is the revised version of a Comment on a paper by C. Escudero (Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 116101, 2008; arXiv:0804.1898).

A Monte Carlo based computer model is presented to comprehend the contrasting observations of Mazumder et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 255704 (2004) and Phys. Rev. B 72, 224208 (2005)], based on neutron-scattering measurements, on temporal…
We propose a simple design of a quantum electron microscope that ``queries'' a beam-sensitive phase object, such as a biological specimen, as part of quantum computation. Lower quantum query complexity, not the time complexity, of a quantum…
The following is an unedited version of two short articles that are forthcoming in Nature Chemical Engineering. Inspired by Purcell's classic lecture "Life at low Reynolds number", I discuss how scaling arguments, dimensional analysis, and…
This is an expanded and updated version of the talk I gave at the meeting organized at CERN on April 27-28, 2015 dedicated to honoring the memory of Bruno Zumino and his legacy. In this talk I review the emergence of exceptional structures…
The article provides an historical survey of the early contributions on the applications of fractional calculus in linear viscoelasticty. The period under examination covers four decades, since 1930's up to 1970's and authors are from both…
We present a brief survey of methods that utilize computer simulations and quantum and statistical mechanics in the analysis of electrochemical systems. The methods, Molecular Dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations and quantum-mechanical…
A closer look at some proposed Gedanken-experiments on BECs promises to shed light on several aspects of reduction and emergence in physics. These include the relations between classical descriptions and different quantum treatments of…
These are lecture notes of a course on Calogero-Moser systems and their connections with representation theory and geometry, given by the author in Zurich in May-June 2005.
Computer experiments refer to the study of real systems using complex simulation models. They have been widely used as alternatives to physical experiments. Design and analysis of computer experiments have attracted great attention in past…
Computational studies of basic models of strongly-correlated electron systems can provide guidance in the search for new materials as well as insight into the physical mechanisms responsible for their properties. Here, we illustrate this by…
A collection of short expository essays by the author on various topics in quantum mechanics, quantum cosmology, and physics in general.
These lecture notes were created for a graduate-level course on quantum simulation taught at Leibniz University Hannover in 2013. The first part of the course discusses various state of the art methods for the numerical description of…
