Analogue simulation provides a way to solve hard computational problems by building physical devices that mimic those problems. The history of such devices goes back at least 2000 years to the intricate clockwork mechanisms used to make complex astronomical predictions, before the advent of all-purpose digital computers. But today there ...

In Kramers’ theory of chemical reaction rates, classical nucleation theory, phase field modeling, and the modeling of biomolecular kinetics, the dynamics of coarse-grained variables is treated as a stochastic process driven by the gradient of a thermodynamic potential. We will discuss how these models can be motivated based on the ...

This purpose of this informal workshop is to discuss connections between music theory and topics in mathematics including groupoids and self-similar quasicrystals.

New Directions in Theoretical Physics is a series of international conferences organised by the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics, aiming to highlight the outstanding issues and stimulate an exchange of ideas across all areas of contemporary theoretical physics. All talks are plenary reviews aimed at a broad audience of theoretical ...
