Observation of erratic non-Hermitian skin localization and transport

Abstract Localization is a pervasive phenomenon across physics, shaping transport from electrons in solids to light and sound in engineered media. In traditional settings, disorder strongly impedes transport, resulting in dynamical localization or, at best, sub-ballistic or diffu...

Stochastic thermodynamics of social imitation beyond energetics

The development of stochastic thermodynamics during the last decades prompted the discovery of nonequilibrium relations refining our understanding of the second law in small fluctuating systems and its connection with information theory. A fundamental open question is whether the...
