Self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium.
, 2019 Scholarly article (pre-print)Despite its importance to experiments, numerical simulations, and the development of theoretical models, self-averaging in many-body quantum systems out of equilibrium remains underinvestigated. Usually, in the chaotic regime,

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics of one-dimensional turbulence
, 1984 The method of statistical mechanics is applied to the study of the one-dimensional model of turbulence proposed in an earlier paper. The closure problem is solved by the variational approach which has been developed for the three-dimensional case ...

Positive quantum Lyapunov exponents in classically regular systems.
, 2019 Scholarly article (pre-print)Quantum chaos refers to signatures of classical chaos found in the quantum domain. Recently, it has become common to equate the exponential behavior of the quantum evolution of out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs) with ...

What is Statistical Mechanics? [PDF]
, 2012 Thermodynamics describes a large class of phenomena we observe in macroscopic systems. The aim of statistical mechanics is to account for this behaviour in terms of the dynamical laws governing the microscopic constituents of macroscopic systems and ...

Statistical mechanics and the asymmetry of causation [PDF]
Building on the work of David Albert in the foundations of statistical mechanics, Barry Loewer has developed a novel analysis of counterfactuals within a powerful system for naturalized metaphysics that he and Albert call "the Mentaculus". In this thesis,

Subsampling and homogenization to investigate variability of composite material mechanical properties [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents an innovative homogenization sampling technique applied to multiscale modelling of composite materials. The goal is to build efficiently statistical variability of mechanical properties at mesoscopic scale from the heterogeneous media
