چکیده

We observe the propagation of information in a system of self-replicating strings of code (“Artificial Life”) as a function of fitness and mutation rate. Comparison with theoretical predictions based on the reaction-diffusion equation shows that the response of the artificial system to fluctuations (e.g. velocity of the information wave as a function of relative fitness) closely follows that of natural systems. We find that the relaxation time of the system depends on the speed of propagation of information and the size of the system. This analysis offers the possibility of determining the minimal system size for observation of non-equilibrium effects at fixed mutation rate.

We construct a simple model of a proto-cell that simulates a stochastic dynamics of abstract chemicals on a two-dimensional lattice. We assume that chemicals catalyze their reproduction through interaction with each other, and that between some chemicals repulsion occurs. We have shown that chemicals organize themselves into a cell-like structure that maintains its membranes dynamically. Furthe...

We discuss three-body recombination of ultra-cold atoms to a weakly bound s level. In this case, characterized by large and positive scattering length a for pair interaction, we find a repulsive effective potential for three-body collisions , which strongly reduces the recombination probability and makes simple Jastrow-like approaches absolutely inadequate. In the zero temperature limit we obta...
