Beyond Boltzmann–Gibbs statistical mechanics in optical lattices

E Lutz, F Renzoni - Nature Physics, 2013 - nature.com
Cold atoms in dissipative optical lattices exhibit an unusual transport behaviour that cannot
be described within Boltzmann–Gibbs statistical mechanics. New theoretical tools and …

Anomalous diffusion models and their properties: non-stationarity, non-ergodicity, and ageing at the centenary of single particle tracking

R Metzler, JH Jeon, AG Cherstvy… - Physical Chemistry …, 2014 - pubs.rsc.org
Modern microscopic techniques following the stochastic motion of labelled tracer particles

From the area under the Bessel excursion to anomalous diffusion of cold atoms

E Barkai, E Aghion, DA Kessler - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
Lévy flights are random walks in which the probability distribution of the step sizes is fat-
tailed. Lévy spatial diffusion has been observed for a collection of ultracold Rb 87 atoms and …

Non-normalizable densities in strong anomalous diffusion: Beyond the central limit theorem

A Rebenshtok, S Denisov, P Hänggi, E Barkai - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
Strong anomalous diffusion, where⟨| x (t)| q⟩∼ tq ν (q) with a nonlinear spectrum ν (q)≠
const, is wide spread and has been found in various nonlinear dynamical systems and …

Scaling Green-Kubo relation and application to three aging systems

A Dechant, E Lutz, DA Kessler, E Barkai - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
The Green-Kubo formula relates the spatial diffusion coefficient to the stationary velocity
autocorrelation function. We derive a generalization of the Green-Kubo formula that is valid …

Infinite densities for Lévy walks

A Rebenshtok, S Denisov, P Hänggi, E Barkai - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
Motion of particles in many systems exhibits a mixture between periods of random diffusive-
like events and ballistic-like motion. In many cases, such systems exhibit strong anomalous …

Transitions in the ergodicity of subrecoil-laser-cooled gases

E Barkai, G Radons, T Akimoto - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
With subrecoil-laser-cooled atoms, one may reach nanokelvin temperatures while the
ergodic properties of these systems do not follow usual statistical laws. Instead, due to an …

Universal first-passage statistics in aging media

N Levernier, O Bénichou, T Guérin, R Voituriez - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
It has been known for a long time that the kinetics of diffusion-limited reactions can be
quantified by the time needed for a diffusing molecule to reach a target: the first-passage …

J Liu, Y Hu, JD Bao - Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The Lévy walk with rests (LWR) model is a typical two-state stochastic process that has been
widely and successfully adopted in the study of intermittent stochastic phenomena in …
