We study the reaction-diffusion dynamics of Fibonacci anyons in a one dimensional lattice. Due to their non-Abelian nature, besides the position degree of freedom (DOF), these anyons also have a nonlocal internal DOF, which can be characterized by a fusion tree. We first consider a pure-reaction dynamics associated with the internal DOF, which is of intrinsically quantum origin, with either an "all-$τ$" or "completely random" initial fusion tree. These two fusion trees are unstable and likely stable steady states for the internal DOF, respectively. We obtain the decay rate of the anyon number for these two cases exactly. Still using these two initial fusion trees, we study the full reaction-diffusion dynamics, and find an interesting interplay between classical and quantum behaviors: These two fusion trees are still respectively unstable and likely stable steady states of the internal DOF, while the dynamics of the position DOF can be mapped to a hybrid classical $A+A\rightarrow 0$ and $A+A\rightarrow A$ reaction-diffuson dynamics, with the relative reaction rates of these two classical dynamics determined by the state of the nonlocal internal DOF. In particular, the anyon density at late times are given by $ρ(t)=\frac{c}{\sqrt{8π}}(Dt)^{-Δ}$, where $D$ is a non-universal diffusion constant, $Δ=1/2$ is superuniversal, and $c$ is universal and can be obtained exactly in terms of the fusion tree structure. Specifically, $c=\frac{2φ}{φ+1}$ and $c=\frac{2(4φ+3)}{5(φ+1)}$ for the all-$τ$ and completely random configuration respectively, where $φ=\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{2}$ is the golden ratio. We also study the two-point correlation functions.
The present work is devoted to the modelling which is based on the modified Cahn-Hilliard equation, the interplay of equilibrium and non-equilibrium phase transitions. The non-equilibrium phase transitions are modelled by the Schlögl reactions systems. We consider the advancing fronts which combine these both transitions. The traveling wave solutions are obtained; the conditions of their existence and dependence on the parameters of the models are studied in detail. The possibility of the existance of non-equilibrated phase is discussed.
Text-book concepts of diffusion- versus kinetic-control are well-defined for reaction-kinetics involving macroscopic concentrations of diffusive reactants that are adequately described by rate-constants -- the inverse of the mean-first-passage-time to the reaction-event. In contradistinction, an open important question is whether the mean-first-passage-time alone is a sufficient measure for biochemical reactions that involve nanomolar reactant concentrations. Here, using a simple yet generic, exactly-solvable model we study the conspiratory effect of diffusion and chemical reaction-limitations…
We study dephasing-enhanced transport in boundary-driven quasi-periodic systems. Specifically we consider dephasing modelled by current preserving Lindblad dissipators acting on the non-interacting Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) and Fibonacci bulk systems. The former is known to undergo a critical localization transition with a suppression of ballistic transport above a critical value of the potential. At the critical point, the presence of non-ergodic extended states yields anomalous sub-diffusion. The Fibonacci model, on the other hand, yields anomalous transport with a continuously varying expone…
By combining the nonconserved spin-flip dynamics driving ferromagnetic ordering with the conserved Kawasaki-exchange dynamics driving phase segregation, we perform Monte Carlo simulations of the nearest neighbor Ising model. Such a set up mimics a system consisting of a binary mixture of \emph{isomers} which is simultaneously undergoing a segregation and an \emph{interconversion} reaction among themselves . Here, we study such a system following a quench from the high-temperature homogeneous phase to a temperature below the demixing transition. We monitor the growth of domains of both the \emp…
We study the pattern formation of chiral charges in the presence of reactions. We show that, in contrast to the original Turing's mechanism of pattern formation in diffusion-reaction systems, the interplay between chiral effects and reactions can lead to a new kind of instability against spatially inhomogeneous perturbations, and furthermore, to a helical pattern formation, even without diffusion. This provides a new physical mechanism that can generate a macroscopic helical structure from microscopic chirality, including chirality of elementary particles, via nonequilibrium processes.
A dynamical process that takes a random time to complete, e.g., a chemical reaction, may either be accelerated or hindered due to resetting. Tuning system parameters such as temperature, viscosity or concentration, can invert the effect of resetting on the mean completion time of the process, which leads to a resetting transition. Though the resetting transition was recently studied for diffusion in a handful of model potentials, it is yet unknown whether the results follow any universality in terms of well-defined physical parameters. To bridge this gap, we propose a general framework which r…
Complex biological and physical transport processes are often described through systems of interacting particles. Excluded-volume effects on these transport processes are well studied, however the interplay between volume exclusion and reactions between heterogenous particles is less well known. In this paper we develop a novel framework for modeling reaction-diffusion processes which directly incorporates volume exclusion. From an off-lattice microscopic individual based model we use the Fokker--Planck equation and the method of matched asymptotic expansions to derive a low-dimensional macros…
We consider a proton-transfer (PT) system described by a proton-transfer reaction (PTR) coordinate and a rate promoting vibrational (RPV) coordinate interacting with a non-Markovian heat-bath. While dynamics of PT processes has been widely discussed using two-dimensional (2D) potential energy surfaces (PES), the role of the heat-bath, in particular, for a realistic form of the system-bath interaction has not been well explored. Previous studies are largely based on one-dimensional model and linear-linear (LL) system-bath interaction. In the present study, we introduce an exponential-linear (EL…
