Singularities in large deviations of work in quantum quenches (2018)
Journal Article
Rotondo, P., Minář, J., Garrahan, J. P., Lesanovsky, I., & Marcuzzi, M. (2018). Singularities in large deviations of work in quantum quenches. Physical Review B, 98(18), Article 184303. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevb.98.184303

We investigate large deviations of the work performed in a quantum quench across two different phases separated by a quantum critical point, using as an example the Dicke model quenched from its superradiant to its normal phase. We extract the distri... Read More about Singularities in large deviations of work in quantum quenches.

No empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that daily climate variation has an effect on species’ elevational range size: Reply to Chan et al. (2018)
Journal Article
Field, R., & Qian, H. (2018). No empirical evidence to support the hypothesis that daily climate variation has an effect on species’ elevational range size: Reply to Chan et al. Journal of Biogeography, 45(12), 2827-2832. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13372

© 2018 John Wiley & Sons Ltd Following our critique, Chan etal. defend the approach used in their original paper. They reveal their “iterative strategy of SEM” (structural equationmodelling), which they claim is “standard” (we show otherwise) and “...
