Classical stochastic discrete time crystals (2019)
Journal Article
Gambetta, F. M., Carollo, F., Lazarides, A., Lesanovsky, I., & Garrahan, J. P. (2019). Classical stochastic discrete time crystals. Physical Review E, 100(6), Article 060105(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.100.060105

© 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.

Using matrix product states to study the dynamical large deviations of kinetically constrained models (2019)
Journal Article
Bañuls, M. C., & Garrahan, J. P. (2019). Using matrix product states to study the dynamical large deviations of kinetically constrained models. Physical Review Letters, 123(20), Article 200601. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.200601

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)
Journal Article
Katira, S., Garrahan, J. P., & Mandadapu, K. K. (2019). Theory for Glassy Behavior of Supercooled Liquid Mixtures. Physical Review Letters, 123(10), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.100602

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...

Exact large deviation statistics and trajectory phase transition of a deterministic boundary driven cellular automaton (2019)
Journal Article
Buča, B., Garrahan, J. P., Prosen, T., & Vanicat, M. (2019). Exact large deviation statistics and trajectory phase transition of a deterministic boundary driven cellular automaton. Physical Review E, 100(2), 1-6. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.100.020103

We study the statistical properties of the long-time dynamics of the rule 54 reversible cellular automaton (CA), driven stochastically at its boundaries. This CA can be considered as a discrete-time and deterministic version of the Fredrickson-Anders...

Physical swap dynamics, shortcuts to relaxation, and entropy production in dissipative Rydberg gases (2019)
Journal Article
Gutiérrez, R., Garrahan, J. P., & Lesanovsky, I. (2019). Physical swap dynamics, shortcuts to relaxation, and entropy production in dissipative Rydberg gases. Physical Review E, 100(1), Article 012110. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.100.012110

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...

Ordering, Flexibility and Frustration in Arrays of Porphyrin Nanorings (2019)
Journal Article
Summerfield, A., Baldoni, M., Kondratuk, D. V., Anderson, H. L., Whitelam, S., Garrahan, J. P., …Beton, P. H. (2019). Ordering, Flexibility and Frustration in Arrays of Porphyrin Nanorings. Nature Communications, 10, Article 2932. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-11009-y

The regular packing of atoms, molecules and nanoparticles provides the basis for the understanding of structural order within condensed phases of matter. Typically the constituent particles are considered to be rigid with a fixed shape. Here we show,... Read More about Ordering, Flexibility and Frustration in Arrays of Porphyrin Nanorings.

Localization in spin chains with facilitation constraints and disordered interactions (2019)
Journal Article

Quantum many-body systems with kinetic constraints exhibit intriguing relaxation dynamics. Recent experimental progress in the field of cold atomic gases offers a handle for probing collective behavior of such systems, in particular for understanding...

Coherence, entanglement, and quantumness in closed and open systems with conserved charge, with an application to many-body localization (2019)
Journal Article
Macieszczak, K., Levi, E., Macrì, T., Lesanovsky, I., & Garrahan, J. P. (2019). Coherence, entanglement, and quantumness in closed and open systems with conserved charge, with an application to many-body localization. Physical Review A, 99(5), Article 052354. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreva.99.052354

While the scaling of entanglement in a quantum system can be used to distinguish many-body quantum phases, it is usually hard to quantify the amount of entanglement in mixed states of open quantum systems, while measuring entanglement experimentally,...
