We introduce a new Forward-Flux Sampling in Time (FFST) algorithm to efficiently measure transition times in rare-event processes in non-equilibrium systems, and apply it to study the first-order (discontinuous) kinetic transition in the Ziff-Gulari-Barshad model of catalytic surface reaction. The average time for the transition to take place, as well as both the spinodal and transition points, are clearly found by this method.

Dark states are stationary states of a dissipative, Lindblad-type time evolution with zero von Neumann entropy, therefore representing examples of pure, steady quantum states. Non-equilibrium dynamics featuring a dark state recently gained a lot of a
ttraction since their implementation in the context of driven-open quantum systems represents a viable possibility to engineer unique, pure states. In this work, we analyze a driven many-body spin system, which undergoes a transition from a dark steady state to a mixed steady state as a function of the driving strength. This transition connects a zero entropy (dark) state with a finite entropy (mixed) state and thus goes beyond the realm of equilibrium statistical mechanics and becomes of genuine nonequilibrium character. We analyze the relevant long wavelength fluctuations driving this transition in a regime where the system performs a discontinuous jump from a dark to a mixed state by means of the renormalization group. This allows us to approach the nonequilibrium dark state transition and identify similarities and clear differences to common, equilibrium phase transitions, and to establish the phenomenology for a first order dark state phase transition.
Sequence heterogeneity broadens the binding transition of a polymer onto a linear or planar substrate. This effect is analyzed in a real-space renormalization group scheme designed to capture the statistics of rare events. In the strongly disordered
regime, binding initiates at an exponentially rare set of ``good contacts. Renormalization of the contact potential yields a Kosterlitz-Thouless type transition in any dimension. This and other predictions are confirmed by extensive numerical simulations of a directed polymer interacting with a columnar defect.
A framework is presented for carrying out simulations of equilibrium systems in the microcanonical ensemble using annealing in an energy ceiling. The framework encompasses an equilibrium version of simulated annealing, population annealing and hybrid
algorithms that interpolate between these extremes. These equilibrium, microcanonical annealing algorithms are applied to the thermal first-order transition in the 20-state, two-dimensional Potts model. All of these algorithms are observed to perform well at the first-order transition though for the system sizes studied here, equilibrium simulated annealing is most efficient.
We introduce a model of negotiation dynamics whose aim is that of mimicking the mechanisms leading to opinion and convention formation in a population of individuals. The negotiation process, as opposed to ``herding-like or ``bounded confidence drive
n processes, is based on a microscopic dynamics where memory and feedback play a central role. Our model displays a non-equilibrium phase transition from an absorbing state in which all agents reach a consensus to an active stationary state characterized either by polarization or fragmentation in clusters of agents with different opinions. We show the exystence of at least two different universality classes, one for the case with two possible opinions and one for the case with an unlimited number of opinions. The phase transition is studied analytically and numerically for various topologies of the agents interaction network. In both cases the universality classes do not seem to depend on the specific interaction topology, the only relevant feature being the total number of different opinions ever present in the system.
We study the sandpile model on three-dimensional spanning Ising clusters with the temperature $T$ treated as the control parameter. By analyzing the three dimensional avalanches and their two-dimensional projections (which show scale-invariant behavi
or for all temperatures), we uncover two universality classes with different exponents (an ordinary BTW class, and SOC$_{T=infty}$), along with a tricritical point (at $T_c$, the critical temperature of the host) between them. The transition between these two criticalities is induced by the transition in the support. The SOC$_{T=infty}$ universality class is characterized by the exponent of the avalanche size distribution $tau^{T=infty}=1.27pm 0.03$, consistent with the exponent of the size distribution of the Barkhausen avalanches in amorphous ferromagnets (Phys. Rev. L 84, 4705 (2000)). The tricritical point is characterized by its own critical exponents. In addition to the avalanche exponents, some other quantities like the average height, the spanning avalanche probability (SAP) and the average coordination number of the Ising clusters change significantly the behavior at this point, and also exhibit power-law behavior in terms of $epsilonequiv frac{T-T_c}{T_c}$, defining further critical exponents. Importantly the finite size analysis for the activity (number of topplings) per site shows the scaling behavior with exponents $beta=0.19pm 0.02$ and $ u=0.75pm 0.05$. A similar behavior is also seen for the SAP and the average avalanche height. The fractal dimension of the external perimeter of the two-dimensional projections of avalanches is shown to be robust against $T$ with the numerical value $D_f=1.25pm 0.01$.
