A whistle-stop tour of quantum thermodynamics—Steve CAMPBELL

The steady interest in understanding the thermodynamics of quantum systems has led to several approaches to defining work and heat in a quantum mechanically consistent way. Quantum thermodynamics as a subfield has grown steadily in the last 15 years, revealing the impact that coherence can have on the energetics of ...

Aperiodic tilings in self-assembled soft-matter quasicrystals—Alastair RUCKLIDGE

Aperiodic (quasicrystalline) tilings, such as Penrose's tiling, can be built up from (for example) kites and darts, squares and triangles, rhombi or shield-shaped tiles and can have a variety of different symmetries. However, almost all quasicrystals occurring in soft matter are of the dodecagonal (12-fold rotation symmetry) type, and ...

Rethinking Bar Formation in Disk Galaxies—Elena D'ONGHIA

Stellar bars are ubiquitous in disk galaxies, yet despite decades of theoretical and numerical work, a predictive understanding of when disks become bar unstable remains elusive. Classical approaches based on local stability criteria or idealized global arguments often fail to capture the behavior of realistic disks embedded in external potentials ...

Demystifying lattice QCD computations of alpha_s—Martin LÜSCHER

Lattice QCD permits the strong coupling constant alpha_s to be determined from the masses and decay constants of the light hadrons. The precision achieved in these computations is competitive with the one of the world average of the experimental measurements of the coupling and is likely to improve in the ...
