Quantum phase transitions are often embodied by the critical behavior of purely quantum quantities such as entanglement or quantum fluctuations. In critical regions, we underline a general scaling relation between the entanglement entropy and one of the mo ...
An analysis of a multiscale symmetric interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for the numerical discretization of elliptic problems with multiple scales is proposed. This new method, first described in [A. Abdulle, C.R. Acad. Sci. Par ...
The fluctuation theorem is a pivotal result of statistical physics. It quantifies the probability of observing fluctuations which are in violation of the second law of thermodynamics. More specifically, it quantifies the ratio of the probabilities of obser ...
Direction reversals of intrinsic toroidal rotation have been observed in diverted Alcator C-Mod Ohmic L-mode plasmas following electron density ramps. For low density discharges, the core rotation is directed cocurrent, and reverses to countercurrent follo ...
The most classic approach to the dynamics of an n-dimensional mechanical system constrained by d independent holonomic constraints is to pick explicitly a new set of (n - d) curvilinear coordinatesparametrizingthe manifold of configurations satisfying the ...
The relaxation of long-lived states (LLS) corresponds to the slow return to statistical thermal equilibrium between symmetric and antisymmetric proton spin states. This process is remarkably sensitive to the presence of external spins and can be used to ob ...
Motivated by the current interest in the quantum dimer model on the triangular lattice, we investigate the phase diagram of the closely related fully frustrated transverse-field Ising model on the honeycomb lattice using classical and semiclassical approxi ...
An important question in the physics of superconducting nanostructures is the role of thermal fluctuations (TFs) on superconductivity in the zero-dimensional limit. Here, we probe the evolution of superconductivity as a function of temperature and particle ...
The complexity of two-phase flow boiling on a tube bundle presents many challenges to the understanding of the physical phenomena taking place. It is important to quantify these numerous heat flow mechanisms in order to better describe the performance of t ...
Increasing heat dissipation density is becoming a limiting factor in air-cooled data centers. The main control objective in data center thermal management is to keep the temperature of all the data processing equipment below a certain threshold and at the ...
