Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve ...

Random walks and percolation theory form a fundamental confluence in modern statistical physics and probability theory. Random walks describe the seemingly erratic movement of particles or entities, ...

Continuous time random walks, which generalize random walks by adding a stochastic time between jumps, provide a useful description of stochastic transport at mesoscopic scales. The continuous time ...

We consider the continuous time symmetric random walk with a slow bond on ℤ, which rates are equal to 1/2 for all bonds, except for the bond of vertices {−1, 0}, which associated rate is given by αn−β ...

IN 1905, Albert Einstein published five papers that shook the world of physics. His elegant arguments and conclusions were marvels of physical intuition that addressed dilemmas raised by experimental ...
