This article reviews the growing body of scientific work in artificial chemistry. First, common
motivations and fundamental concepts are introduced. Second, current research activities …

In this review, we provide an organized summary of the theoretical and computational
results that are available for polymers subject to spatial or topological constraints. Because …

Long-memory, or more generally fractal, processes are known to play an important role in
many scientific disciplines and applied fields such as physics, geophysics, hydrology …

We analyze surface codes, the topological quantum error-correcting codes introduced by
Kitaev. In these codes, qubits are arranged in a two-dimensional array on a surface of …

“The career structure and funding of the universities [...] currently strongly discourages
academics and faculties from putting any investment into teaching–there are no career or …

Critical phenomena arise in a wide variety of physical systems. Classi cal examples are the
liquid-vapour critical point or the paramagnetic ferromagnetic transition. Further examples …

Emphasising essential methods and universal principles, this textbook provides everything
students need to understand the basics of simulating materials behaviour. All the key topics …

Recent advances in single molecule experiments have raised many challenges. These
challenges can be met by a proper understanding of the inter-and intra-molecular …

Various biological processes involve the translocation of macromolecules across
nanopores; these pores are basically protein channels embedded in membranes …

Self-assembly of copolymers in solution is a promising way to prepare novel materials. An
accurate control over the self-assembly of copolymers in solution requires a profound …
