In their study titled "Information Benchmark for Biological Sensors Beyond Steady States -- Mpemba-like sensory withdrawal effect," authors Asawari Pagare and Zhiyue Lu delve into the intricate dynamics of biological sensors in response to varying ligand concentrations. They highlight the crucial role of temporal dynamics in signaling processes and emphasize that sensor performance is contingent upon differentiating between sensory state transitions under various environmental conditions. The researchers introduce a novel theoretical framework for characterizing transient sensory dynamics using the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence metric, allowing for a comprehensive assessment of sensor behavior in non-equilibrium scenarios. One key finding presented in the study is a counterintuitive phenomenon observed in multi-state sensors where an initial exposure to high ligand concentrations may dampen sensitivity but can lead to enhanced performance if followed by a reset in a low-concentration environment. This unexpected boost surpasses that of sensors starting from low-concentration environments and draws parallels to a drug withdrawal effect. Additionally, through machine learning analysis on 4-state sensors, Pagare and Lu establish a strong correlation between sensor performance and the underlying Markovian graph structure representing sensor states. This insight highlights the importance of understanding and leveraging Markovian dynamics in optimizing biological sensor functionality. Overall, this research sheds light on complex mechanisms governing biological sensor responses and offers valuable insights into enhancing sensor performance beyond traditional steady-state considerations. The findings pave the way for further exploration and refinement of biological sensing technologies with potential implications for fields such as biophysics and bioinformatics.

    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…

    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 …

    Classical limit of measurement-induced transition in many-body chaos in integrable and non-integrable oscillator chains
    Sibaram Ruidas, Sumilan Banerjee · 2022 · Statistical Mechanics · AI summary available
    Abstract

    We discuss the dynamics of integrable and non-integrable chains of coupled oscillators under continuous weak position measurements in the semiclassical limit. We show that, in this limit, the dynamics is described by a standard stochastic Langevin equation, and a measurement-induced transition appears as a noise- and dissipation-induced chaotic-to-non-chaotic transition akin to stochastic synchronization. In the non-integrable chain of anharmonically coupled oscillators, we show that the temporal growth and the ballistic light-cone spread of a classical out-of-time correlator characterized by the Lyapunov exponent and the butterfly velocity, are halted above a noise or below an interaction s…

    Topology protects chiral edge currents in stochastic systems
    Evelyn Tang, Jaime Agudo-Canalejo, Ramin Golestanian · 2020 · Phys. Rev. X 11, 031015 (2021) · AI summary available
    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…

    Statistical optimization for passive scalar transport: maximum entropy production vs maximum Kolmogorov-Sinay entropy
    Martin Mihelich, Berengere Dubrulle, Didier Paillard et al. · 2015 · Statistical Mechanics · AI summary available
    Abstract

    We derive rigorous results on the link between the principle of maximum entropy production and the principle of maximum Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy using a Markov model of the passive scalar diffusion called the Zero Range Process. We show analytically that both the entropy production and the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy seen as functions of f admit a unique maximum denoted fmaxEP and fmaxKS. The behavior of these two maxima is explored as a function of the system disequilibrium and the system resolution N. The main result of this article is that fmaxEP and fmaxKS have the same Taylor expansion at _rst order in the deviation of equilibrium. We find that fmaxEP hardly depends on N whereas fmaxKS dep…

    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 …

    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…

    Nonperturbative Effects on the Ferromagnetic Transition in Repulsive Fermi Gases
    Lianyi He, Xu-Guang Huang · 2011 · Phys. Rev. A 85, 043624 (2012) · AI summary available
    Abstract

    It is generally believed that a dilute spin-1/2 Fermi gas with repulsive interactions can undergo a ferromagnetic phase transition to a spin-polarized state at a critical gas parameter $(k_{\rm F}a)_c$. Previous theoretical predictions of the ferromagnetic phase transition have been based on the perturbation theory, which treats the gas parameter as a small number. On the other hand, Belitz, Kirkpatrick, and Vojta (BKV) have argued that the phase transition in clean itinerant ferromagnets is generically of first order at low temperatures, due to the correlation effects that lead to a nonanalytic term in the free energy. The second-order perturbation theory predicts a first-order phase transi…
