Apparent critical phenomena, typically indicated by growing correlation lengths and dynamical slowing-down, are ubiquitous in non-equilibrium systems such as supercooled liquids, amorphous solids, active matter and spin glasses. It is often challenging to determine if such observations are related to a true second-order phase transition as in the equilibrium case, or simply a crossover, and even more so to measure the associated critical exponents. Here, we show that the simulation results of a hard-sphere glass in three dimensions, are consistent with the recent theoretical prediction of a Gardner transition, a continuous non-equilibrium phase transition. Using a hybrid molecular simulation-machine learning approach, we obtain scaling laws for both finite-size and aging effects, and determine the critical exponents that traditional methods fail to estimate. Our study provides a novel approach that is useful to understand the nature of glass transitions, and can be generalized to analyze other non-equilibrium phase transitions.
Entanglement transitions in quantum dynamics present a novel class of phase transitions in non-equilibrium systems. When a many-body quantum system undergoes unitary evolution interspersed with monitored random measurements, the steady-state can exhi
Heuristic tools from statistical physics have been used in the past to locate the phase transitions and compute the optimal learning and generalization errors in the teacher-student scenario in multi-layer neural networks. In this contribution, we pr
It is proposed that the rate of relaxation in a liquid is better described by the geometric mean of the van Hove distribution function, rather than the standard arithmetic mean used to obtain the mean squared displacement. The difference between the
We employ variational autoencoders to extract physical insight from a dataset of one-particle Anderson impurity model spectral functions. Autoencoders are trained to find a low-dimensional, latent space representation that faithfully characterizes ea
We study a lattice model of attractive colloids. It is exactly solvable on sparse random graphs. As the pressure and temperature are varied it reproduces many characteristic phenomena of liquids, glasses and colloidal systems such as ideal gel format
