Complex networks usually exhibit a rich architecture organized over multiple intertwined scales. Information pathways are expected to pervade these scales reflecting structural insights that are not manifest from analyses of the network topology. Moreover, small-world effects correlate the different network hierarchies complicating the identification of coexisting mesoscopic structures and...
Active matter systems are composed of constituents, each one in nonequilibrium, that consume energy in order
to move [1]. A characteristic feature of active matter is collective motion leading to nonequilibrium phase
transitions or large scale directed motion [2]. A number of recent works have featured active particles interacting with obstacles, either moving or fixed [3,4,5]. When an...
Several lattice models display a condensation transition in real space when the density of a suitable order parameter exceeds a critical value. At equilibrium there are well established results and we discuss different scenarios of the condensation trantition.
In the out-of-equilibrium setup we consider one of such models with two conservation laws, attached to two external reservoirs, R_1...
We propose an implementation of a two-dimensional Z2 lattice gauge theory model on a shallow quantum circuit, involving a number of single- and two-qubit gates comparable to what can be achieved with present-day and near-future technologies. The ground-state preparation is numerically analyzed on a small lattice with a variational quantum algorithm, which requires a small number of parameters...
