Ergodicity and large deviations in physical systems with stochastic dynamics

RL Jack - The European Physical Journal B, 2020 - Springer
In ergodic physical systems, time-averaged quantities converge (for large times) to their
ensemble-averaged values. Large deviation theory describes rare events where these time …

Organization and self-assembly away from equilibrium: Toward thermodynamic design principles

M Nguyen, Y Qiu… - Annual Review of …, 2021 - annualreviews.org
Studies of biological systems and materials, together with recent experimental and
theoretical advances in colloidal and nanoscale materials, have shown how nonequilibrium …

Using matrix product states to study the dynamical large deviations of kinetically constrained models

MC Banuls, JP Garrahan - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
Here we demonstrate that tensor network techniques—originally devised for the analysis of
quantum many-body problems—are well suited for the detailed study of rare event statistics …

Finite time large deviations via matrix product states

L Causer, MC Bañuls, JP Garrahan - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Recent work has shown the effectiveness of tensor network methods for computing large
deviation functions in constrained stochastic models in the infinite time limit. Here we show …

How dissipation constrains fluctuations in nonequilibrium liquids: Diffusion, structure, and biased interactions

L Tociu, É Fodor, T Nemoto, S Vaikuntanathan - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
The dynamics and structure of nonequilibrium liquids, driven by nonconservative forces
which can be either external or internal, generically hold the signature of the net dissipation …

Trajectory Phase Transitions, Lee-Yang Zeros, and High-Order Cumulants<? format?> in Full Counting Statistics

C Flindt, JP Garrahan - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We investigate Lee-Yang zeros of generating functions of dynamical observables and
establish a general relation between phase transitions in ensembles of trajectories of …

Large deviations of the empirical flow for continuous time Markov chains

L Bertini, A Faggionato, D Gabrielli - Annales de l'IHP Probabilités et …, 2015 - numdam.org
We consider a continuous time Markov chain on a countable state space and prove a joint
large deviation principle for the empirical measure and the empirical flow, which accounts …

Optimal sampling of dynamical large deviations via matrix product states

L Causer, MC Banuls, JP Garrahan - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
The large deviation statistics of dynamical observables is encoded in the spectral properties
of deformed Markov generators. Recent works have shown that tensor network methods are …

Exact large deviation statistics and trajectory phase transition of a deterministic boundary driven cellular automaton

B Buča, JP Garrahan, T Prosen, M Vanicat - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
We study the statistical properties of the long-time dynamics of the rule 54 reversible cellular
automaton (CA), driven stochastically at its boundaries. This CA can be considered as a …
