Introducing Quantum and Statistical Physics in the Footsteps of Einstein: A Proposal

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Introducing some fundamental concepts of quantum physics to high school students, and to their teachers, is a timely challenge. In this paper we describe ongoing research, in which a teaching–learning sequence for teaching quantum physics, whose ...

Statistical physics of design

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2018
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,

Semantic information, autonomous agency and non-equilibrium statistical physics [PDF]

open access: yesInterface Focus, 2018
Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called syntactic information, which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems.

Motion of charged particle in Reissner–Nordström spacetime: a Jacobi-metric approach

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2017
The present work discusses motion of neutral and charged particles in Reissner–Nordström spacetime. The constant energy paths are derived in a variational principle framework using the Jacobi metric which is parameterized by conserved particle energy. Of

Neural-prior stochastic block model

open access: yesMachine Learning: Science and Technology, 2023
The stochastic block model (SBM) is widely studied as a benchmark for graph clustering aka community detection. In practice, graph data often come with node attributes that bear additional information about the communities.

Scaling behavior of the Hirsch index for failure avalanches, percolation clusters, and paper citations

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2022
A popular measure for citation inequalities of individual scientists has been the Hirsch index (h). If for any scientist the number nc of citations is plotted against the serial number np of the papers having those many citations (when the papers are ...

Blessing of dimensionality: mathematical foundations of the statistical physics of data [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2018
The concentrations of measure phenomena were discovered as the mathematical background to statistical mechanics at the end of the nineteenth/beginning of the twentieth century and have been explored in mathematics ever since.

Statistical mechanics of biomolecular condensates via cavity methods

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Physical mechanisms of phase separation in living systems play key physiological roles and have recently been the focus of intensive studies. The strongly heterogeneous nature of such phenomena poses difficult modeling challenges that require ...

Notes on computational-to-statistical gaps: predictions using statistical physics [PDF]

open access: yesPortugaliae Mathematica, 2018
In these notes we describe heuristics to predict computational-to-statistical gaps in certain statistical problems. These are regimes in which the underlying statistical problem is information-theoretically possible although no efficient algorithm exists,
