Life is characterized by a myriad of complex dynamic processes allowing organisms to grow,
reproduce, and evolve. Physical approaches for describing systems out of thermodynamic …

Stationary nonequilibrium states describe steady flows through macroscopic systems.
Although they represent the simplest generalization of equilibrium states, they exhibit a …

In order to model realistic quantum devices it is necessary to simulate quantum systems
strongly coupled to their environment. To date, most understanding of open quantum …

We review recent progress in understanding the notion of locality in integrable quantum
lattice systems. The central concept concerns the so-called quasilocal conserved quantities …

The density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is a numerical algorithm for the efficient
truncation of the Hilbert space of low-dimensional strongly correlated quantum systems …

Aimed at graduate students, this book explores some of the core phenomena in non-
equilibrium statistical physics. It focuses on the development and application of theoretical …

Since the subject of traffic dynamics has captured the interest of physicists, many surprising
effects have been revealed and explained. Some of the questions now understood are the …

In the so-called “microscopic” models of vehicular traffic, attention is paid explicitly to each
individual vehicle each of which is represented by a “particle”; the nature of the “interactions” …

This review addresses recent developments in non-equilibrium statistical physics. Focusing
on phase transitions from fluctuating phases into absorbing states, the universality class of …

Interactive Particle Systems is a branch of Probability Theory with close connections to
Mathematical Physics and Mathematical Biology. In 1985, the author wrote a book (T …
