The Smoluchowski Ensemble—Statistical Mechanics of Aggregation [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 We present a rigorous thermodynamic treatment of irreversible binary aggregation. We construct the Smoluchowski ensemble as the set of discrete finite distributions that are reached in fixed number of merging events and define a probability measure on ...

Statistical mechanics of money [PDF]
, 2000 In a closed economic system, money is conserved. Thus, by analogy with energy, the equilibrium probability distribution of money must follow the exponential Gibbs law characterized by an effective temperature equal to the average amount of money per ...

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 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.

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.

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.

Statistical Mechanics: Entropy, Order Parameters, and Complexity
, 2021 This text distills the core ideas of statistical mechanics to make room for new advances important to information theory, complexity, active matter, and dynamical systems.

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.

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.
