A summary and results of a five-year research project on cultural adaptation to hurricane disasters in New Orleans from the city’s foundation in the French Colonial period 1718 to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 is presented.
Particle Targeting in Complex Biological Media
Parameters that affect the biological performance of particles and highlight strategies for improved targeting ability of particles.
The Role of Arts in Climate Change Discourse
The arts—especially art using a combination of sounds and visuals—can inspire different ways of thinking about and engaging with the world. At a time when global climate change’s effects are accelerating, climate change communicators would be wise to consider the arts to frame and articulate these complex challenges.
Localization Properties of the Disordered XY Spin Chain
Researchers give a full account of results on localization properties for the Anderson model.
Localization and Chaos in a Quantum Spin Glass Model
Many-body localized systems are central to the functioning of modern quantum computing devices. Yet, many-body localization is not completely understood.
Localization Properties of the Disordered XY Spin Chain
Disorder effects on interacting quantum many-body systems have recently seen rapidly rising interest.
Classical and Quantum Systems: Transport Due to Rare Events
Possible mechanisms for energy transfer based on ‘rare’ or ‘non-perturbative’ effects, in physical systems that present a many-body localized phenomenology are reviewed.
Models for a Multimode Bosonic Tunneling Junction
Decoherence plays an important role in quantum mechanics. In general, uncontrolled interaction of a quantum system with its environment will cause it to lose its quantum properties. Controlled decoherence or dissipation, on the other hand, can be used to engineer...
