Majumdar 4 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2017, 119 (14), 〈10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.140603〉 We solve an adaptive search model where a random walker or L\’evy flight stochastically resets to previously visited sites on a $d$-dimensional lattice containing one trapping site. Due to reinforcement, a phase […]

Xiangyu Cao 1 Alberto Rosso 1 Raoul Santachiara 1 Pierre Le Doussal 2 Pierre Le Doussal 2 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2017, 118 (9), pp.090601 An exact mapping is established between the $c\geq25$ Liouville field theory (LFT) and the Gibbs measure statistics of a thermal particle in a 2D Gaussian Free Field plus

Satya N. Majumdar 1 Gregory Schehr 1 ICTS newsletter, 2017 This is a brief pedagogical introduction to the theory of large deviations. It appeared in the ICTS Newsletter 2017 (Volume 3, Issue 2), goo.gl/pZWA6X. 1. LPTMS – Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Modèles Statistiques

Jacek Grela 1 Satya N. Majumdar 1 Gregory Schehr 1 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2017, 119, pp.130601 We study the statistics of the kinetic (or equivalently potential) energy for $N$ non-interacting fermions in a $1d$ harmonic trap of frequency $\omega$, at finite temperature $T$. Remarkably, we find an exact solution for the full

Martin Lenz 1 Thomas A. Witten 2 Nature Physics, Nature Publishing Group, 2017 Controlling the self-assembly of supramolecular structures is vital for living cells, and a central challenge for engineering at the nano- and microscales. Nevertheless, even particles without optimized shapes can robustly form well-defined morphologies. This is the case in numerous medical conditions where

S. Designolle 1, 2 O. Giraud 2 J. Martin 3 Physical Review A, American Physical Society, 2017, 96 (3), pp.032322. 〈10.1103/PhysRevA.96.032322〉 We investigate genuinely entangled $N$-qubit states with no $N$-partite correlations in the case of symmetric states. Using a tensor representation for mixed symmetric states, we obtain a simple characterization of the absence of $N$-partite

Xiangyu Cao 1 Alberto Rosso 1 Jean-Philippe Bouchaud 2 Pierre Le Doussal 3 Physical Review E , American Physical Society (APS), 2017, 95 (6), pp.062118 We introduce and study a new class of Banded Random Matrix model describing sparse, long range quantum hopping in one dimension. Using a series of analytic arguments, numerical simulations, and

Shlyapnikov 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 Physical Review A, American Physical Society, 2017, 96 (6), 〈10.1103/PhysRevA.96.061602〉 We study the phase diagram of fermionic polar molecules in a bilayer system, with an imbalance of molecular densities of the layers. For

S. V. Andreev 1, 2, 3 Physical Review B : Condensed matter and materials physics, American Physical Society, 2017, 95 (18), pp.184519. 〈10.1103/PhysRevB.95.184519〉 We discuss a possible link between the recently observed macroscopic ordering of ultracold dipolar excitons (MOES) and the phenomenon of supersolidity. In the dilute limit we predict a stable supersolid state for
