In a recent paper, SFI Professor David Wolpert, SFI Fractal Faculty member Carlo Rovelli, and physicist Jordan Scharnhorst ...

Statistical physics and message passing inference represent two interwoven strands of modern quantitative research. While statistical physics examines how macroscopic phenomena emerge from the ...

John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton were awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for their contributions to machine learning. Their research, which draws from statistical physics, helped ...

The statistical physics of graphs and partition functions represents a vibrant intersection of graph theory, statistical mechanics and computational complexity. By summing over an ensemble of ...

Richard Easther and Frank Wang argue that a “Newton first” approach to undergraduate physics teaching can give students a better insight than focusing solely on “modern physics” The whole story Topics ...

A research team led by Prof. PAN Ding, Associate Professor from the Departments of Physics and Chemistry, and Dr. LI Shuo-Hui, Research Assistant Professor from the Department of Physics at the Hong ...

Statistical physicists attempted to explain the brain’s functionality using Excitation-Inhibition balance similarly to magnetic models, yet the theory was experimentally disproven and now, a decade ...
