© 2019 American Physical Society. We describe a general and simple paradigm for discrete time crystals (DTCs), systems with a stable subharmonic response to an external driving field, in a classical thermal setting. We consider, specifically, an Isin... Read More about Classical stochastic discrete time crystals.

Here we demonstrate that tensor network techniques | originally devised for the analysis of quantum many-body problems | are well suited for the detailed study of rare event statistics in kinetically constrained models (KCMs). As concrete examples we... Read More about Using matrix product states to study the dynamical large deviations of kinetically constrained models.

Theory for Glassy Behavior of Supercooled Liquid Mixtures (2019)

We present a model for glassy dynamics in supercooled liquid mixtures. Given the relaxation behavior of individual supercooled liquids, the model predicts the relaxation times of their mixtures as temperature is decreased. The model is based on dynam...

Accelerated relaxation and suppressed dynamic heterogeneity in a kinetically constrained (East) model with swaps (2019)
Journal Article

We introduce a kinetically constrained spin model with a local softness parameter, such that spin flips can violate the kinetic constraint with an (annealed) site-dependent rate. We show that adding MC swap moves to this model can dramatically accele...

Dense Rydberg gases are out-of-equilibrium systems where strong density-density interactions give rise to effective kinetic constraints. They cause dynamic arrest associated with highly constrained many-body configurations, leading to slow relaxation...
