The Problem of Engines in Statistical Physics [PDF]
Engines are open systems that can generate work cyclically at the expense of an external disequilibrium. They are ubiquitous in nature and technology, but the course of mathematical physics over the last 300 years has tended to make their dynamics in ...

A key challenge in complex design problems that permeate science and engineering is the need to balance design objectives for specific design elements or subsystems with global system objectives. Global objectives give rise to competing design pressures,

Statistical Physics of Evolving Systems [PDF]
Evolution is customarily perceived as a biological process. However, when formulated in terms of physics, evolution is understood to entail everything.

Statistical physics of balance theory. [PDF]
Triadic relationships are accepted to play a key role in the dynamics of social and political networks. Building on insights gleaned from balance theory in social network studies and from Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical physics, we propose a model to ...

Inferring potential landscapes from noisy trajectories of particles within an optical feedback trap
Summary: While particle trajectories encode information on their governing potentials, potentials can be challenging to robustly extract from trajectories.

Summary: Quantifying uncertainty associated with our models is the only way we can express how much we know about any phenomenon. Incomplete consideration of model-based uncertainties can lead to overstated conclusions with real-world impacts in diverse ...
