Hybrid classical-quantum computing: Applications to statistical mechanics of financial markets [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Hybrid Classical-Quantum computing is now offered by several commercial quantum computers. In this project, a model of financial options, Statistical Mechanics of Financial Markets (SMFM), uses this approach. However, only Classical (super-)computers are

Nonequilibrium Phenomena in Confined Systems
Entropy, 2017 Confined systems exhibit a large variety of nonequilibrium phenomena. In this special issue, we have collected a limited number of papers that were presented during the XXV Sitges Conference on Statistical Mechanics, devoted to “Nonequilibrium phenomena ...

Entropy, 2020 A shock wave that is characterized by sharp physical gradients always draws the medium out of equilibrium. In this work, both hydrodynamic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects around the shock wave are investigated using a discrete Boltzmann model ...

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
, 2022 Active matter is everywhere, from macroscopic to microscopic scales, we find systems such as human crowd or flock of birds as well as bacterial colonies. These systems composed of particles are able to convert their surrounding energy into motion, and naturally exist out of thermodynamic equilibrium. At the microscopic scale, a specific class of active

Contact Geometry of Mesoscopic Thermodynamics and Dynamics
Entropy, 2014 The time evolution during which macroscopic systems reach thermodynamic equilibrium states proceeds as a continuous sequence of contact structure preserving transformations maximizing the entropy.

Stochastic thermodynamics of all-to-all interacting many-body systems
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We provide a stochastic thermodynamic description across scales for N identical units with all-to-all interactions that are driven away from equilibrium by different reservoirs and external forces.

Linear stochastic thermodynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We study the thermodynamics of open systems weakly driven out-of-equilibrium by nonconservative and time-dependent forces using the linear regime of stochastic thermodynamics. We make use of conservation laws to identify the potential and nonconservative

Quantum-Heat Fluctuation Relations in Three-Level Systems Under Projective Measurements
Condensed Matter, 2020 We study the statistics of energy fluctuations in a three-level quantum system subject to a sequence of projective quantum measurements. We check that, as expected, the quantum Jarzynski equality holds provided that the initial state is thermal.

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics
Condensed Matter Physics, 2005 Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics is a powerful simulation tool. Like its equilibrium cousin, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics is based on time-reversible equations of motion. But unlike conventional mechanics, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics provides
