We consider shock probes in a one-dimensional driven diffusive medium with nearest-neighbor Ising interaction (KLS model). Earlier studies based on an approximate mapping of the present system to an effective zero-range process concluded that the exponents characterizing the decays of several static and dynamical correlation functions of the probes depend continuously on the strength of the Ising interaction. On the contrary, our numerical simulations indicate that over a substantial range of the interaction strength, these exponents remain constant and their values are the same as in the case of no interaction (when the medium executes an ASEP). We demonstrate this by numerical studies of several dynamical correlation functions for two probes and also for a macroscopic number of probes. Our results are consistent with the expectation that the short-ranged correlations induced by the Ising interaction should not affect the large time and large distance properties of the system, implying that scaling forms remain the same as in the medium with no interactions present.

ConspectusColloidal nanocrystals are an interesting platform for studying the surface chemistry of materials due to their high surface area/volume ratios, which results in a large fraction of surface atoms. As synthesized, the surfaces of many colloidal nanocrystals are capped by organic ligands that help control their size and shape. While these organic ligands are necessary in synthesis, it is often desirable to replace them with other molecules to enhance their properties or to integrate them into devices.

Effects of Temperature and Random Forces in Phase Transformation of Multi-Stable Systems.

Multi-stable behavior at the microscopic length-scale is fundamental for phase transformation phenomena observed in many materials. These phenomena can be driven not only by external mechanical forces but are also crucially influenced by disorder and thermal fluctuations. Disorder, arising from structural defects or fluctuations in external stimuli, disrupts the homogeneity of the material and can significantly alter the system's response, often leading to the suppression of cooperativity in the phase transition.

Rényi relative entropy based monogamy of entanglement in tripartite systems.

Department of Computer Science and Engineering, New York University Shanghai, 567 West Yangsi Road, Pudong, Shanghai, 200124, China.

A comprehensive investigation of the entanglement characteristics is carried out on tripartite spin-1/2 systems, examining prototypical tripartite states, the thermal Heisenberg model, and the transverse field Ising model. The entanglement is computed using the Rényi relative entropy. In the traditional Rényi relative entropy, the generalization parameter α can take values only in the range [Formula: see text] due to the requirements of joint convexity of the measure.

Quantum memory at nonzero temperature in a thermodynamically trivial system.

Passive error correction protects logical information forever (in the thermodynamic limit) by updating the system based only on local information and few-body interactions. A paradigmatic example is the classical two-dimensional Ising model: a Metropolis-style Gibbs sampler retains the sign of the initial magnetization (a logical bit) for thermodynamically long times in the low-temperature phase. Known models of passive quantum error correction similarly exhibit thermodynamic phase transitions to a low-temperature phase wherein logical qubits are protected by thermally stable topological order.
