Crisis in Time-Dependent Dynamical Systems on PRL cover

in ,

Interesting work by ISC researcher Simona Olmi  and ISC associate Antonio Politi on PRL cover.

S. Olmi and A. Politi, Crisis in Time-Dependent Dynamical Systems, Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 147202 (2025)

Abstract

Many dynamical systems operate in a fluctuating environment. However, even in low-dimensional setups, transitions and bifurcations have not yet been fully understood. In this Letter we focus on crises, a sudden flooding of the phase space due to the crossing of the boundary of the basin of attraction.

Condensation in Negative-Temperature Regimes in Physical Review Letters

in

ISC reasearcher S. Iubini coauthored an interesting paper now published in Physical Review Letters.

Title: Effective Grand Canonical Description of Condensation in Negative-Temperature Regimes

S. Iubini and A. Politi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 097102 (2025)

Abstract

The observation of negative-temperature states in the localized phase of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation has challenged statistical mechanics for a long time.

RIFLESSIONE APERTA DAL DIPARTIMENTO DI FISICA

Siamo addolorate ed arrabbiate per gli ennesimi casi di femminicidio di Ilaria Sula e Sara Campanella che sono emersi la scorsa settimana. Questi fatti avvengono a poco più di un anno di distanza dal femminicidio, così tragicamente simile, di Giulia Cecchettin, che tanto ha scosso l’opinione pubblica. Le parole e la posizione ferma della famiglia di Giulia Cecchettin sono rimaste impresse nella nostra memoria perché hanno fornito a tutte e tutti delle categorie mentali efficaci per comprendere ciò che era successo.… Read the rest
