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.

Statistical mechanics of glass
Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 2014 AbstractThe field of glass science is quickly maturing from a purely empirical science to one built upon rigorous fundamental physics. These advancements offer an unprecedented level of understanding of the glass transition and the glassy state, as well as the ability to design new glass compositions starting at the atomic level.

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 ...

Colloquium : Statistical mechanics and thermodynamics at strong coupling: Quantum and classical [PDF]
, 2019 The question of how classical systems approach thermal equilibrium is as old as the foundations of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. How quantum systems decohere and thermalize is even more puzzling. This Colloquium provides an account of how the

Equilibration, thermalisation, and the emergence of statistical mechanics in closed quantum systems [PDF]
Reports on progress in physics. Physical Society, 2015 We review selected advances in the theoretical understanding of complex quantum many-body systems with regard to emergent notions of quantum statistical mechanics.

Work statistics in stochastically driven systems
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We identify the conditions under which a stochastic driving that induces energy changes into a system coupled with a thermal bath can be treated as a work source.

Statistical Mechanics Involving Fractal Temperature
Fractal and Fractional, 2019 In this paper, the Schrödinger equation involving a fractal time derivative is solved and corresponding eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are given. A partition function for fractal eigenvalues is defined.

Reply to 'Comment on "Vortex distribution in a confining potential" [PDF]
, 2014 We argue that contrary to recent suggestions, non-extensive statistical mechanics has no relevance for inhomogeneous systems of particles interacting by short-range potentials.
