Statistical Mechanics of Pluripotency [PDF]
Cell, 2013 Recent reports using single-cell profiling have indicated a remarkably dynamic view of pluripotent stem cell identity. Here, we argue that the pluripotent state is not well defined at the single-cell level but rather is a statistical property of stem cell populations, amenable to analysis using the tools of statistical mechanics and information theory.

Statistical mechanics of quantum error correcting codes [PDF]
Physical review B, 2020 We study stabilizer quantum error-correcting codes (QECC) generated under hybrid dynamics of local Clifford unitaries and local Pauli measurements in one dimension.

Statistical mechanics of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 We study the statistical properties of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced by a Gaussian colored noise.

Emergent second law for non-equilibrium steady states
Nature Communications, 2022 Contrary to states of thermal equilibrium, there is no universal characterization of non-equilibrium steady states displaying constant flows of energy and/or matter.

A statistical mechanical problem? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 The problem of deriving the processes of perception and cognition or the modes of behavior from states of the brain appears to be unsolvable in view of the huge numbers of elements involved. However, neural activities are not random, nor independent, but constrained to form spatio-temporal patterns, and thanks to these restrictions, which in turn are ...

Linear response in large deviations theory: a method to compute non-equilibrium distributions
New Journal of Physics, 2021 We consider thermodynamically consistent autonomous Markov jump processes displaying a macroscopic limit in which the logarithm of the probability distribution is proportional to a scale-independent rate function (i.e.

The statistical mechanics of near-extremal black holes [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 An important open question in black hole thermodynamics is about the existence of a “mass gap” between an extremal black hole and the lightest near-extremal state within a sector of fixed charge.

The statistical mechanics of near-BPS black holes [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2020 Due to the failure of thermodynamics for low temperature near-extremal black holes, it has long been conjectured that a ‘thermodynamic mass gap’ exists between an extremal black hole and the lightest near-extremal state.

Statistical Mechanics of an Integrable System [PDF]
Journal of statistical physics, 2020 We provide here an explicit example of Khinchin’s idea that the validity of equilibrium statistical mechanics in high dimensional systems does not depend on the details of the dynamics, as it is basically a matter of choosing the “proper” observables ...
