Statistical Physics of Biological Systems: epidemic models, branching processes, evolutionary dynamics. In statistical mechanics, we want to obtain the critical properties of a physical system. Applied probability theory, mathematical statistical mechanics. Build a model like this — you'll find this in any introductory statistical mechanics book — and you get a self-consistency condition for the bulk magnetization. Relativistic quantum mechanics: Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. One way to detect a quantum phase transition is simply to notice that ground state depends very sensitively on the parameters near such a point. Semi-classical theory of radiation. Thermodynamic and Statistical Physics First- and second-order phase transitions. When phase transition occurs, the correlation length of the system grows to infinity and the critical system is invariant under scale variances. Interacting particle systems, nonequilibrium phase transitions, hydrodynamic limits. But we can also turn it around: “Physics is informational”. Phase transitions in combinatorial optimization problems: basics, algorithms and statistical mechanics : PDF eBook Download. Swiss-born American, contributed to condensed matter theory, especially involving statistical mechanics: phase transitions; derivation of hydrodynamical equations from microscopic kinetics; statistical mechanics of plasmas. The research topics include superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, the physics of novel materials and nanostructures, and quantum computation.
