A common environment acting on a pair of qubits gives rise to plethora different phenomena, such as the generation qubit-qubit entanglement, quantum synchronization and subradiance. Here we define time-independent figures merit for entanglement generation, subradiance, perform an extensive analytical numerical study their dependence model parameters. We also address recently proposed measure co...

This paper considers the underspecification of distributive and collective readings of plural NPs in Discourse Representation Theory (Kamp and Reyle 1993) and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (Pollard and Sag 1994). We address some shortcomings in previous approaches in the underspecification literature, namely issues related to the assumption that plural NPs are semantically ambiguous betw...

Collective behavior of proteins on biomembranes is usually studied within the spontaneous curvature model. Here we consider an alternative phenomenological approach, which accounts consistently for partial ordering of proteins as well as the anchoring forces exerted on a membrane by layer of proteins. We show analytically that such anisotropic interactions can drive membrane bending, resulting ...

Introduction to Two-phase Phenomena Observed in Finance Phase transition in nature is understood to be an emergent phenomena due to the collective behavior of individual particles. In the nancial market, phase transitions are also observed while people replace the role of particles. In a demand driven market, the collective behavior of buyers and sellers have lead Plerou, Gopikrishnan and Stanl...

Thepot ential (and probably increasing) relevance of social psychology for the social sciences may lie in the fact that in the social sciences, there is an increasing need for theories on individual behavior and interaction that help explain how collective phenomena come about. By collective phenomena, I mean phenomena such as many people doing similar things (like committing crime or divorcing...

For group-living animals, reaching consensus to stay cohesive is crucial for their fitness, particularly when collective motion starts and stops. Understanding the decision-making at individual and collective levels upon sudden disturbances is central in the study of collective animal behavior, and concerns the broader question of how information is distributed and evaluated in groups. Despite ...

There are certain correlations between collective behavior and spreading dynamics on some real complex networks. Based on the dynamical characteristics and traditional physical models, we construct several new bidirectional network models of spreading phenomena. By theoretical and numerical analysis of these models, we find that the collective behavior can inhibit spreading behavior, but, conve...

Metastasis is a process of cell migration that can be collective and guided by chemical cues. Viewing metastasis in this way, as a physical phenomenon, allows one to draw upon insights from other studies of collective sensing and migration in cell biology. Here we review recent progress in the study of cell sensing and migration as collective phenomena, including in the context of metastatic ce...

The importance of the notion of shared belief has been emphasized by philosophers, economists, sociologists, and psychologists at least since the 1960’s (the earlier contributors include Schelling 1960, Scheff 1967, Lewis 1969, and Schiffer 1972). This article deals with the strongest kind of shared belief to be called mutual belief. While a belief can be shared in the trivial sense of two or m...
