The essentials

  • The study investigates the dynamics of integrable and non-integrable chains of coupled oscillators under continuous weak position measurements in the semiclassical limit.
  • In this limit, the dynamics can be described by a standard stochastic Langevin equation.
  • A measurement-induced transition is observed, manifesting as a noise- and dissipation-induced chaotic-to-non-chaotic transition similar to stochastic synchronization.
  • In the non-integrable chain of anharmonically coupled oscillators, a certain noise level or interaction strength halts the temporal growth and ballistic light cone spread of a classical out-of-time correlator characterized by the Lyapunov exponent and butterfly velocity.
  • Both Lyapunov exponent and butterfly velocity act as order parameters vanishing in the non-chaotic phase.
  • The butterfly velocity exhibits critical finite size scaling.
  • For the integrable model (classical Toda chain), the Lyapunov exponent changes nonmonotonically with increasing noise strength, vanishing at zero noise limit and above a critical noise level but reaching its maximum at an intermediate noise strength.
  • The butterfly velocity in the Toda chain exhibits singular behavior approaching zero noise strength - i.e., integrability limit.
  • References to previous work are included for further context, discussing equilibrium dynamical correlations in integrable models such as Toda chain and exploring quantum state diffusion localization and quantum dispersion entropy.

In this study, the authors investigate the dynamics of integrable and non-integrable chains of coupled oscillators under continuous weak position measurements in the semiclassical limit. They find that in this limit, the dynamics can be described by a standard stochastic Langevin equation. They observe a measurement-induced transition which manifests as a noise- and dissipation-induced chaotic-to-non-chaotic transition similar to stochastic synchronization. Specifically, in the non-integrable chain of anharmonically coupled oscillators, they demonstrate that the temporal growth and ballistic light cone spread of a classical out-of-time correlator characterized by the Lyapunov exponent and butterfly velocity are halted above a certain noise level or below a certain interaction strength. Both these parameters act as order parameters vanishing in the non-chaotic phase. Additionally, they find that the butterfly velocity exhibits critical finite size scaling. For the integrable model considered in this study (the classical Toda chain), it is shown that the Lyapunov exponent changes nonmonotonically with increasing noise strength. It vanishes at zero noise limit and above a critical noise level but reaches its maximum at an intermediate noise strength. The butterfly velocity in the Toda chain exhibits singular behavior as it approaches zero noise strength - i.e., integrability limit. To provide further context for their findings references to previous work are included; one reference discusses equilibrium dynamical correlations in integrable models such as Toda chain while another explores quantum state diffusion localization and quantum dispersion entropy. Overall this study contributes to our understanding of many body chaos in both integrable and nonintegrable systems under continuous weak position measurements shedding light on how measurement induced transitions affect system dynamics and providing insights into order parameters such as Lyapunov exponents and butterfly velocities.

    Field Theory of Birhythmicity
    Sergei Shmakov, Peter B. Littlewood · 2025 · Statistical Mechanics · AI summary available
    Abstract

    Non-equilibrium dynamics are present in many aspects of our lives, ranging from microscopic physical systems to the functioning of the brain. What characterizes stochastic models of non-equilibrium processes is the breaking of the fluctuation-dissipation relations as well as the existence of non-static stable states, or phases. A prototypical example is a dynamical phase characterized by a limit cycle - the order parameter of finite magnitude rotating or oscillating at a fixed frequency. Consequently, birhythmicity, where two stable limit cycles coexist, is a natural extension of the simpler single limit cycle phase. Both the abundance of real systems exhibiting such states as well as their …

    Large deviation full counting statistics in adiabatic open quantum dynamics
    Paulo J. Paulino, Igor Lesanovsky, Federico Carollo · 2024 · Statistical Mechanics · AI summary available
    Abstract

    The state of an open quantum system undergoing an adiabatic process evolves by following the instantaneous stationary state of its time-dependent generator. This observation allows one to characterize, for a generic adiabatic evolution, the average dynamics of the open system. However, information about fluctuations of dynamical observables, such as the number of photons emitted or the time-integrated stochastic entropy production in single experimental runs, requires controlling the whole spectrum of the generator and not only the stationary state. Here, we show how such information can be obtained in adiabatic open quantum dynamics by exploiting tools from large deviation theory. We prove …

    Topology protects chiral edge currents in stochastic systems

    Abstract

    Constructing systems that exhibit time-scales much longer than those of the underlying components, as well as emergent dynamical and collective behavior, is a key goal in fields such as synthetic biology and materials self-assembly. Inspiration often comes from living systems, in which robust global behavior prevails despite the stochasticity of the underlying processes. Here, we present two-dimensional stochastic networks that consist of minimal motifs representing out-of-equilibrium cycles at the molecular scale and support chiral edge currents in configuration space. These currents arise in the topological phase due to the bulk-boundary correspondence and dominate the system dynamics in t…

    Drift-Controlled Anomalous Diffusion: A Solvable Gaussian Model
    Fabrizio Lillo, Rosario N. Mantegna · 2000 · Statistical Mechanics · AI summary available
    Abstract

    We introduce a Langevin equation characterized by a time dependent drift. By assuming a temporal power-law dependence of the drift we show that a great variety of behavior is observed in the dynamics of the variance of the process. In particular diffusive, subdiffusive, superdiffusive and stretched exponentially diffusive processes are described by this model for specific values of the two control parameters. The model is also investigated in the presence of an external harmonic potential. We prove that the relaxation to the stationary solution is power-law in time with an exponent controlled by one of model parameters.

    System size expansion using Feynman rules and diagrams
    Philipp Thomas, Christian Fleck, Ramon Grima et al. · 2014 · Statistical Mechanics · AI summary available
    Abstract

    Few analytical methods exist for quantitative studies of large fluctuations in stochastic systems. In this article, we develop a simple diagrammatic approach to the Chemical Master Equation that allows us to calculate multi-time correlation functions which are accurate to a any desired order in van Kampen's system size expansion. Specifically, we present a set of Feynman rules from which this diagrammatic perturbation expansion can be constructed algorithmically. We then apply the methodology to derive in closed form the leading order corrections to the linear noise approximation of the intrinsic noise power spectrum for general biochemical reaction networks. Finally, we illustrate our resul…

    Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics of El Nino Southern Oscillation Index
    M. Ausloos, F. Petroni · 2006 · Physica A 373 (2007) 721 - 736 · AI summary available
    Abstract

    The shape and tails of partial distribution functions (PDF) for a climatological signal, i.e. the El Nino SOI and the turbulent nature of the ocean-atmosphere variability are linked through a model encompassing Tsallis nonextensive statistics and leading to evolution equations of the Langevin and Fokker-Planck type. A model originally proposed to describe the intermittent behavior of turbulent flows describes the behavior of the normalized variability for such a climatological index, for small and large time windows, both for small and large variability. This normalized variabil- ity distributions can be sufficiently well fitted with a chi-square-distribution. The transition between the smal…

    Continuously varying exponents in the distribution of waiting times in the symmetric exclusion process on a percolation cluster
    Arpan Chatterjee, Kabir Ramola, Deepak Dhar · 2026 · Statistical Mechanics · Not summarized yet
    Abstract

    We study the waiting-time distribution of hard-core interacting particles in the symmetric exclusion process on one- and two-dimensional lattices with side branches attached to each lattice site in the steady state. We use numerical simulations together with an approximate analytical treatment of particles trapped in side branches in the steady state. Such a two-dimensional carpet serves as a simplified model for trapping of a supercritical percolation cluster. At high particle densities, the system exhibits strong dynamical heterogeneity, with the distribution of logarithms of waiting times developing well-separated peaks corresponding to particles trapped at different depths from the backb…

    Maximum Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy vs minimum mixing time in Markov chains
    Martin Mihelich, Berengere Dubrulle, Didier Paillard et al. · 2015 · Statistical Mechanics · AI summary available
    Abstract

    Many modern techniques employed in physics, such a computation of path integrals, rely on random walks on graphs that can be represented as Markov chains. Traditionally, estimates of running times of such sampling algorithms are computed using the number of steps in the chain needed to reach the stationary distribution. This quantity is generally defined as mixing time and is often difficult to compute. In this paper, we suggest an alternative estimate based on the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, by establishing a link between the maximization of KSE and the minimization of the mixing time. Since KSE are easier to compute in general than mixing time, this link provides a new faster method to appro…
