We discuss how to construct models of interacting anyons by generalizing quantum spin Hamiltonians to anyonic degrees of freedom. The simplest interactions energetically favor pairs of anyons to fuse into the trivial (identity) channel, similar to the quantum Heisenberg model favoring pairs of spins to form spin singlets. We present an introduction to the theory of anyons and discuss in detail how basis sets and matrix representations of the interaction terms can be obtained, using non-Abelian Fibonacci anyons as example. Besides discussing the golden chain, a one-dimensional system of anyons with nearest neighbor interactions, we also present the derivation of more complicated interaction terms, such as three-anyon interactions in the spirit of the Majumdar-Ghosh spin chain, longer range interactions and two-leg ladders. We also discuss generalizations to anyons with general non-Abelian su(2)_k statistics. The k to infinity limit of the latter yields ordinary SU(2) spin chains.

Machine learning is becoming widely used in analyzing the thermodynamics of many-body condensed matter systems. Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) aided Monte Carlo simulations have sparked interest recently, as they manage to speed up classical Mont
e Carlo simulations. Here we employ the Convolutional Restricted Boltzmann Machine (CRBM) method and show that its use helps to reduce the number of parameters to be learned drastically by taking advantage of translation invariance. Furthermore, we show that it is possible to train the CRBM at smaller lattice sizes, and apply it to larger lattice sizes. To demonstrate the efficiency of CRBM we apply it to the paradigmatic Ising and Kitaev models in two-dimensions.
The theory of small-system thermodynamics was originally developed to extend the laws of thermodynamics to length scales of nanometers. Here we review this nanothermodynamics, and stress how it also applies to large systems that subdivide into a hete
rogeneous distribution of internal subsystems that we call regions. We emphasize that the true thermal equilibrium of most systems often requires that these regions are in the fully-open generalized ensemble, with a distribution of region sizes that is not externally constrained, which we call the nanocanonical ensemble. We focus on how nanothermodynamics impacts the statistical mechanics of specific models. One example is an ideal gas of indistinguishable atoms in a large volume that subdivides into an ensemble of small regions of variable volume, with separate regions containing atoms that are distinguishable from those in other regions. Combining such subdivided regions yields the correct entropy of mixing, avoiding Gibbs paradox without resorting to macroscopic quantum symmetry for semi-classical particles. Other models are based on Ising-like spins (binary degrees of freedom), which are solved analytically in one-dimension, making them suitable examples for introductory courses in statistical physics. A key result is to quantify the net increase in entropy when large systems subdivide into small regions of variable size. Another result is to show similarity in the equilibrium properties of a two-state model in the nanocanonical ensemble and a three-state model in the canonical ensemble. Thus, emergent phenomena may alter the thermal behavior of microscopic models, and the correct ensemble is necessary for accurate predictions.
The process of diffusion is the most elementary stochastic transport process. Brownian motion, the representative model of diffusion, played a important role in the advancement of scientific fields such as physics, chemistry, biology and finance. How
ever, in recent decades, non-diffusive transport processes with non-Brownian statistics were observed experimentally in a multitude of scientific fields. Examples include human travel, in-cell dynamics, the motion of bright points on the solar surface, the transport of charge carriers in amorphous semiconductors, the propagation of contaminants in groundwater, the search patterns of foraging animals and the transport of energetic particles in turbulent plasmas. These examples showed that the assumptions of the classical diffusion paradigm, assuming an underlying uncorrelated (Markovian), Gaussian stochastic process, need to be relaxed to describe transport processes exhibiting a non-local character and exhibiting long-range correlations. This article does not aim at presenting a complete review of non-diffusive transport, but rather an introduction for readers not familiar with the topic. For more in depth reviews, we recommend some references in the following. First, we recall the basics of the classical diffusion model and then we present two approaches of possible generalizations of this model: the Continuous-Time-Random-Walk (CTRW) and the fractional Levy motion (fLm).
The observable properties of topological quantum matter are often described by topological field theories. We here demonstrate that this principle extends beyond thermal equilibrium. To this end, we construct a model of two-dimensional driven open dy
namics with a Chern insulator steady state. Within a Keldysh field theory approach, we show that under mild assumptions - particle number conservation and purity of the stationary state - an abelian Chern-Simons theory describes its response to external perturbations. As a corollary, we predict chiral edge modes stabilized by a dissipative bulk.
In this paper and its sequel, we study non-equilibrium dynamics in driven 1+1D conformal field theories (CFTs) with periodic, quasi-periodic, and random driving. We study a soluble family of drives in which the Hamiltonian only involves the energy-mo
mentum density spatially modulated at a single wavelength. The resulting time evolution is then captured by a Mobius coordinate transformation. In this Part I, we establish the general framework and focus on the first two classes. In periodically driven CFTs, we generalize earlier work and study the generic features of entanglement/energy evolution in different phases, i.e. the heating, non-heating phases and the phase transition between them. In quasi-periodically driven CFTs, we mainly focus on the case of driving with a Fibonacci sequence. We find that (i) the non-heating phases form a Cantor set of measure zero; (ii) in the heating phase, the Lyapunov exponents (which characterize the growth rate of the entanglement entropy and energy) exhibit self-similarity, and can be arbitrarily small; (iii) the heating phase exhibits periodicity in the location of spatial structures at the Fibonacci times; (iv) one can find exactly the non-heating fixed point, where the entanglement entropy/energy oscillate at the Fibonacci numbers, but grow logarithmically/polynomially at the non-Fibonacci numbers; (v) for certain choices of driving Hamiltonians, the non-heating phases of the Fibonacci driving CFT can be mapped to the energy spectrum of electrons propagating in a Fibonacci quasi-crystal. In addition, another quasi-periodically driven CFT with an Aubry-Andre like sequence is also studied. We compare the CFT results to lattice calculations and find remarkable agreement.
