Efficient Monte-Carlo sampling of metastable systems using non-local collective variable updates

This paper presents and validates a generalized algorithm for efficient Monte-Carlo sampling of metastable systems using non-local updates in collective-variable space under underdamped Langevin dynamics, demonstrating substantial performance improvements over previous overdamped approaches and extending the applicability of machine-learning-based samplers to more realistic molecular systems.

Heat-dissipation decomposition and free-energy generation in a non-equilibrium dot with multi-electron states

This paper experimentally demonstrates the quantitative decomposition of heat dissipation into housekeeping and excess components in a non-equilibrium nanoscale dot with multi-electron states, revealing a direct correlation between these thermal processes and free-energy generation that achieves an efficiency of 0.25 under driven conditions.

Non-equilibrium generalized Langevin equation for multi-dimensional observables

This paper derives a non-equilibrium generalized Langevin equation for multi-dimensional observables using the Mori-Zwanzig formalism, revealing a unique instantaneous friction contribution that vanishes only for uncorrelated components, and demonstrates its application to modeling coupled protein folding kinetics in human islet amyloid polypeptide fibril formation.

Functional renormalization group for classical liquids without recourse to hard-core reference systems: A study of three-dimensional Lennard-Jones liquids

This paper extends a hard-core-free functional renormalization group method to three-dimensional Lennard-Jones liquids, demonstrating through numerical calculations that it achieves accuracy comparable to modern integral-equation theories while maintaining superior thermodynamic consistency.

Exact Density Profiles of 1D Quantum Fluids in the Thomas-Fermi Limit: Geometric Hierarchy to the Tonks-Girardeau Gas

This paper introduces a geometric framework based on the qq-logarithm linearization principle that unifies the density profiles of 1D quantum fluids across interaction regimes—from the ideal Bose gas to the Tonks-Girardeau gas—within a discrete hierarchy and derives a universal sound velocity scaling law linking static geometry to dynamical excitations.

Computing Nonequilibrium Transport from Short-Time Transients: From Lorentz Gas to Heat Conduction in One Dimensional Chains

This paper demonstrates that the Transient Time Correlation Function (TTCF) method is a computationally efficient and precise alternative to traditional time-averaging approaches for calculating nonequilibrium transport coefficients in both linear and nonlinear regimes, as validated through case studies of the Lorentz gas and anharmonic oscillator chains.

Phase diagram and Ashkin-Teller universality in the classical square-lattice Heisenberg-compass model

Using large-scale Monte Carlo simulations, this study maps the finite-temperature phase diagram of the classical square-lattice Heisenberg-compass model, identifying six ordered phases and demonstrating that transitions between four symmetry-broken phases belong to the Ashkin-Teller universality class terminating at four-state Potts points, while transitions involving zz-polarized phases exhibit conventional 2D Ising criticality.

Temporal Berry Phase and the Emergence of Bose-Glass-Analog Phase in a Clean U(1) Superfluid

This paper demonstrates that a temporal Berry phase in a clean U(1) nonlinear sigma model induces space-time anisotropic vortex interference, leading to a quasi-disordered phase with short-range spatial order and persistent temporal coherence that shares the essential correlation properties of the disordered Bose Glass phase, thereby suggesting a unified topological origin for glassy behavior in phase-fluctuation-driven superfluid transitions.

Effect of Cylindrical Confinement on the Collapse Dynamics of a Polymer

Using molecular dynamics simulations, this study reveals that cylindrical confinement induces a two-stage collapse of homopolymers from a good to a poor solvent—characterized by the formation of pearl-necklace clusters followed by their coalescence into a spherical globule—wherein the relaxation dynamics and activation energies exhibit distinct dependencies on confinement radius and temperature, despite a universal power law governing cluster growth at fixed confinement.

Understanding the temperature response of biological systems: Part II -- Network-level mechanisms and emergent dynamics

This paper reviews deterministic and stochastic network-level models to explain how Arrhenius-like temperature dependencies in individual biochemical reactions transform into complex emergent system behaviors, such as non-Arrhenius scaling and thermal limits, thereby bridging empirical temperature response curves with the molecular organization of biological systems.

Understanding the temperature response of biological systems: Part I -- Phenomenological descriptions and microscopic models

This review article surveys phenomenological and microscopic models used to describe the complex, non-Arrhenius temperature responses of biological systems across various scales, defining key operational metrics like optimal temperatures and thermal limits while setting the stage for a subsequent discussion on how system-level curves emerge from interacting reactions.
