16. Entropic complexity in quark-gluon and other plasmas

Constantino Tsallis

Plasmas typically involve strong nonlocal space and/or time correlations between their constitutive elements. As a natural consequence, the thermodynamically appropriate entropy typically is nonadditive, in contrast with those systems where basically local correlations dominate and are therefore satisfactorily described by the Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics, grounded on the...

11. Instabilities in chiral plasmas

Xu-Guang Huang

Chiral plasmas exist in various environments, noticeably, the quark gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions and the electroweak plasma in early Universe and in supernovae. We discuss the possible new instabilities, which we call the chiral magnetovortical instability and chiral shear instability, that may emerge in chiral plasmas induced by the chiral vortical effect and chiral magnetic effect....

33. From Landau-Zener transitions to Hawking radiation

Wolfgang Schleich (Universität Ulm)

Landau–Zener-transitions are an essential tool in atom optics, and in particular, in accelerated optical lattices. It is amazing that despite its simplicity, the derivation of the well-known Landau-Zener-formula for the transition probability amplitude is rather involved, independent of the approach pursued. An integration in the complex plane, the asymptotic expansion of the parabolic...

3. Altered Probability States

Ludwik Turko

The outcomes of any given measurement of any scientific observables can be considered random variables. The crucial point is to find and apply statistical methods that enable a reasonable inference of measured observables and scientific models used to describe phenomena of interest. The statistical inference, however, is contingent on the notion of probability and how this notion is applied to...
