Many physical phenomena are modeled as stochastic searchers looking for targets. In these
models, the probability that a searcher finds a particular target, its so-called hitting …

First passage times (FPTs) are often used to estimate timescales in physical, chemical, and
biological processes. FPTs generically describe the time it takes a random “searcher” to find …

Decisions are often made by heterogeneous groups of individuals, each with distinct initial
biases and access to information of different quality. We show that in large groups of …
