Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

In ergodic physical systems, time-averaged quantities converge (for large times) to their
ensemble-averaged values. Large deviation theory describes rare events where these time …

When a system's parameter is abruptly changed, a relaxation toward the new equilibrium of
the system follows. We show that a crossing between the second and third eigenvalues of …

Active work measures how far the local self-forcing of active particles translates into real
motion. Using population Monte Carlo methods, we investigate large deviations in the active …

We analytically compute the full counting statistics of charge transfer in a classical
automaton of interacting charged particles. Deriving a closed-form expression for the …

A dynamical quantum phase transition can occur during time evolution of sudden quenched
quantum systems across a phase transition. It corresponds to the nonanalytic behavior at a …

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics exhibit a variety of complex phenomena far from
equilibrium. It inherits challenges of equilibrium, including accurately describing the joint …

Very often when studying non-equilibrium systems one is interested in analysing dynamical
behaviour that occurs with very low probability, so called rare events. In practice, since rare …

Here we demonstrate that tensor network techniques—originally devised for the analysis of
quantum many-body problems—are well suited for the detailed study of rare event statistics …

Recent work has shown the effectiveness of tensor network methods for computing large
deviation functions in constrained stochastic models in the infinite time limit. Here we show …
