We present theoretical and experimental results of Levy flights of light originating from a random walk of photons in a hot atomic vapor. In contrast to systems with quenched disorder, this system does not present any correlations between the position and the step length of the random walk. In an analytical model based on microscopic first principles including Doppler broadening we find anomalous Levy-type superdiffusion corresponding to a single-step size distribution P(x) proportional to x^(-1-alpha), with alpha=1. We show that this step size distribution leads to a violation of Ohms law [T_(diff) proportional to L^(-alpha/2) different from 1/L], as expected for a Levy walk of independent steps. Furthermore the spatial profile of the transmitted light develops power law tails [I(r) proportional to r^(-3-alpha)]. In an experiment using a slab geometry with hot rubidium vapor, we measured the total diffuse transmission T_(diff) and the spatial profile of the transmitted light T_{diff}(r). We obtained the microscopic Levy parameter alpha under macroscopic multiple scattering conditions paving the way to investigation of Levy flights in different atomic physics and astrophysics systems.

We study transport properties of graphene with anisotropically distributed on-site impurities (adatoms) that are randomly placed on every third line drawn along carbon bonds. We show that stripe states characterized by strongly suppressed back-scatte
ring are formed in this model in the direction of the lines. The system reveals Levy-flight transport in stripe direction such that the corresponding conductivity increases as the square root of the system length. Thus, adding this type of disorder to clean graphene near the Dirac point strongly enhances the conductivity, which is in stark contrast with a fully random distribution of on-site impurities which leads to Anderson localization. The effect is demonstrated both by numerical simulations using the Kwant code and by an analytical theory based on the self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation.
Levy flights for light have been demonstrated in disordered systems with and without optical gain, and remained unobserved in ordered ones. In the present letter, we investigate, numerically and experimentally, Levy flights for light in ordered syste
ms due to an ordered (conventional) laser. The statistical analysis was performed on the intensity fluctuations of the output spectra upon repeated identical experimental realizations. We found out that the optical gain and the mirrors reflectivity are critical parameters governing the fluctuation statistics. We identified Levy regimes for gain around the laser threshold, and Gaussian-Levy-Gaussian crossovers were unveiling when increasing the gain from below to above the threshold. The experimental results were corroborated by Monte Carlo simulations, and the fluctuations were associated to a Langevin noise source that takes into account the randomness of the spontaneous emission, which seeds the laser emission and can cause large fluctuations of the output spectra from shot-to-shot under identical experimental realizations.
Among Markovian processes, the hallmark of Levy flights is superdiffusion, or faster-than-Brownian dynamics. Here we show that Levy laws, as well as Gaussians, can also be the limit distributions of processes with long range memory that exhibit very
slow diffusion, logarithmic in time. These processes are path-dependent and anomalous motion emerges from frequent relocations to already visited sites. We show how the Central Limit Theorem is modified in this context, keeping the usual distinction between analytic and non-analytic characteristic functions. A fluctuation-dissipation relation is also derived. Our results may have important applications in the study of animal and human displacements.
Data from a long time evolution experiment with Escherichia Coli and from a large study on copy number variations in subjects with european ancestry are analyzed in order to argue that mutations can be described as Levy flights in the mutation space.
These Levy flights have at least two components: random single-base substitutions and large DNA rearrangements. From the data, we get estimations for the time rates of both events and the size distribution function of large rearrangements.
Let L(t) be a Levy flights process with a stability index alphain(0,2), and U be an external multi-well potential. A jump-diffusion Z satisfying a stochastic differential equation dZ(t)=-U(Z(t-))dt+sigma(t)dL(t) describes an evolution of a Levy parti
cle of an `instant temperature sigma(t) in an external force field. The temperature is supposed to decrease polynomially fast, i.e. sigma(t)approx t^{-theta} for some theta>0. We discover two different cooling regimes. If theta<1/alpha (slow cooling), the jump diffusion Z(t) has a non-trivial limiting distribution as tto infty, which is concentrated at the potentials local minima. If theta>1/alpha (fast cooling) the Levy particle gets trapped in one of the potential wells.
