Serguei Brazovskii 1 Natasha Kirova 2 Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism, Springer Verlag (Germany), 2014, 27, pp.1009 – 1013. <10.1007/s10948-013-2432-9> Transformations of cooperative electronic states by impacts of optical pumping or/and electrostatic doping is a new mainstream in physics of correlated systems. Here we present a semi-phenomenological modelling of spacio-temporal effects in a system […]

David Guéry-Odelin 1 J. G. Muga 2, 3 M. J. Ruiz-Montero 4 E. Trizac 5 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2014, 112, pp.180602 We construct a novel class of exact solutions to the Boltzmann equation, in both its classical and quantum formulation, for arbitrary collision laws. When the system is subjected to a specific

H. Landa 1, 2 A. Retzker 3 T. Schaetz 4 B. Reznik 1 Physical Review Letters, American Physical Society, 2014, 113, pp.053001 Laser cooled and trapped ions can crystallize and feature discrete solitons, that are nonlinear, topologically-protected configurations of the Coulomb crystal. Such solitons, as their continuum counterparts, can move within the crystal, while their

Arkady Pikovsky 1, 2 Shamik Gupta 3 Tarcisio N. Teles 4 Fernanda P. C. Benetti 4 Renato Pakter 4 Yan Levin 4 Stefano Ruffo 5 Physical Review E, American Physical Society, 2014, pp.062141 We explore ensemble inequivalence in long-range interacting systems by studying an XY model of classical spins with ferromagnetic and nematic coupling. We

D. S. Petrov 1 Physical Review A, American Physical Society, 2014, 90, pp.021601 We show that by coupling two hyperfine states of an atom in an optical lattice one can independently control two-, three-, and four-body on-site interactions in a non-perturbative manner. In particular, under typical conditions of current experiments one can have a purely

Francesco Caltagirone 1 Silvio Franz 2 Richard Morris 1 Lenka Zdeborová 1 Physical Review E, American Physical Society, 2014, 89, pp.012102 This work is motivated by recent progress in information theory and signal processing where the so-called ‘spatially coupled’ design of systems leads to considerably better performance. We address relevant open questions about spatially coupled

Tianyou Yi 1 Natasha Kirova 2 Serguei Brazovskii 1 International school-conference on electronic crystals: ECRYS-2014, Aug 2014, Cargèse, France. 460, pp.73, Physica B: Condensed Matter Phase transitions induced by short optical pulses is a new mainstream in studies of cooperative electronic states. Its special realization in systems with neutral-ionic transformations stands out in a way

Jad C. Halimeh 1 Anton Wöllert 1 Ian P. McCulloch 2 Ulrich Schollwöck 1 Thomas Barthel 1, 3 Physical Review A, American Physical Society, 2014, 89, pp.063603 Quantum magnetism is a fundamental phenomenon of nature. As of late, it has garnered a lot of interest because experiments with ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices can

Martin R. Evans 1 Satya N. Majumdar 2 Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, Institute of Physics: Hybrid Open Access, 2014, 47, pp.285001 We consider diffusion in arbitrary spatial dimension d with the addition of a resetting process wherein the diffusive particle stochastically resets to a fixed position at a constant rate $r$. We
