Interventionism in Statistical Mechanics
Entropy, 2012 I defend the idea that the fact that no system is entirely isolated (“Interventionism”) can be used to explain the successful use of the microcanonical distribution in statistical mechanics.

Foundations of Statistical Mechanics
, 2023 Statistical mechanics is the third pillar of modern physics, next to quantum theory and relativity theory. It aims to account for the behaviour of macroscopic systems in terms of the dynamical laws that govern their microscopic constituents and probabilistic assumptions about them.

Negative differential response in chemical reactions
New Journal of Physics, 2019 Reaction currents in chemical networks usually increase when increasing their driving affinities. But far from equilibrium the opposite can also happen. We find that such negative differential response (NDR) occurs in reaction schemes of major biological

Statistical mechanics on isoradial graphs [PDF]
, 2010 Isoradial graphs are a natural generalization of regular graphs which give, for many models of statistical mechanics, the right framework for studying models at criticality.

Solving Statistical Mechanics using Variational Autoregressive Networks [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 We propose a general framework for solving statistical mechanics of systems with finite size. The approach extends the celebrated variational mean-field approaches using autoregressive neural networks, which support direct sampling and exact calculation ...

Emergent statistical mechanics of entanglement in random unitary circuits [PDF]
Physical review B, 2018 We map the dynamics of entanglement in random unitary circuits, with finite on-site Hilbert space dimension $q$, to an effective classical statistical mechanics.

Statistical mechanics of a two-dimensional black hole [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 The dynamics of a nearly-AdS2 spacetime with boundaries is reduced to that of two particles in the anti-de Sitter space. We determine the class of physically meaningful wavefunctions, and prescribe the statistical mechanics of a black hole.

Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics and Entropy
Entropy, 2017 The proper definition of thermodynamics and the thermodynamic entropy is discussed in the light of recent developments. The postulates for thermodynamics are examined critically, and some modifications are suggested to allow for the inclusion of long ...

Some speculations about local thermalization of nonequilibrium extended quantum systems
Condensed Matter Physics, 2023 We discuss the possibility of defining an emergent local temperature in extended quantum many-body systems evolving out of equilibrium. For the most simple case of free-fermionic systems, we give an explicit formula for the effective temperature in the ...
