A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

When we lower the temperature of a liquid, at some point we meet a first order phase
transition to the crystal. Yet, under certain conditions it is possible to keep the system in its …

This pedagogical and self-contained text describes the modern mean field theory of simple
structural glasses. The book begins with a thorough explanation of infinite-dimensional …

The ability to prepare a physical system in a desired quantum state is central to many areas
of physics such as nuclear magnetic resonance, cold atoms, and quantum computing. Yet …

In their preface, the authors state that 'this is a book for absolute beginners'. Well, that
depends on the definition of a beginner! Here,(s) he should be thoroughly at home in …

Hard spheres are ubiquitous in condensed matter: they have been used as models for
liquids, crystals, colloidal systems, granular systems, and powders. Packings of hard …

A theoretical understanding of generalization remains an open problem for many machine
learning models, including deep networks where overparameterization leads to better …

Extreme value statistics (EVS) concerns the study of the statistics of the maximum or the
minimum of a set of random variables. This is an important problem for any time-series and …

In these Lecture Notes, we provide a comprehensive introduction to the most recent
advances in the application of machine learning methods in quantum sciences. We cover …

We review a theoretical perspective of the dynamics of glass-forming liquids and the glass
transition, a perspective developed during this past decade based on the structure of …
