Can machine learning truly decode phase transitions? A deep dive into the Ising model with competing interactions

Maninder Kaur, Ying Wai Li, Dilina Perera, and David P. Landau

Phys. Rev. E 114, 014104 (2026) - Published 6 July, 2026

The authors investigate phase transitions in the two-dimensional Ising model with competing nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions, by combining machine learning with simulations and finite-size scaling. The results show that machine learning can decode ordering patterns, extract order-parameter analogs, and reproduce critical behavior in frustrated Ising systems.

Percolation and criticality of systems with competing interactions on Bethe lattices: Limitations and potential strengths of cluster schemes

Greivin Alfaro Miranda, Mingyuan Zheng, Patrick Charbonneau, Antonio Coniglio, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, and Marco Tarzia

Phys. Rev. E 114, 014114 (2026) - Published 9 July, 2026

Cluster-based algorithms have led to remarkably efficient Monte Carlo sampling schemes that reduce critical slowing down. The authors demonstrate that seeking such cluster schemes for frustrated systems is futile, but they leave open the possibility that alternate approaches could be devised.

Universality of order statistics for Brownian reshuffling

Zdzislaw Burda, Mario Kieburg, and Tomasz Maciocha

Phys. Rev. E 114, 014130 (2026) - Published 16 July, 2026

In a one-dimensional gas of particles confined by an asymptotically power-law potential, the ordering of the particles changes as they perform Brownian motion. The authors show that the order statistics that describe how the particles are reshuffled are universal and independent of the potential’s exponent, while the timescale of the reshuffling does depend on it.

Work and heat exchanged during sudden quenches of strongly coupled quantum systems

Zohreh Davoudi, Christopher Jarzynski, Niklas Mueller, Greeshma Oruganti, Connor Powers, and Nicole Yunger Halpern

Phys. Rev. E 114, 014133 (2026) - Published 16 July, 2026

The authors examine three definitions of internal energy, work, and heat that have been used for quantum systems coupled strongly to the environment. Their study focuses on quenches, processes in which the Hamiltonian changes abruptly. In these processes, the first law of thermodynamics holds for each set of definitions by construction. The authors show that only two sets of definitions obey the second law. They illustrate their findings with a model of two coupled spins.

Benjamin Wang, Henry Fetsch, and Nathaniel J. Fisch

Phys. Rev. E 114, 015211 (2026) - Published 15 July, 2026

The fast ignition paradigm previously developed for inertial confinement fusion is here extended to magnetized linear inertial fusion. The authors’ model showcases fast ignition’s potential to lead to more practical, cost-effective, and engineering-wise viable magnetized linear inertial fusion designs.

Placed in the context of the pursuit of monoenergetic proton beams accelerated by lasers, this work explains the fact that they are not observed in experiments. The authors show that this is due to the to the transverse inhomogeneity of the laser and that this can be overcome with flat top laser profiles.

Emergence of nonequilibrium latent cycles in unsupervised generative modeling

Marco Baiesi and Alberto Rosso

Phys. Rev. E 114, 015301 (2026) - Published 7 July, 2026

The authors provide a nonequilibrium perspective on generative modeling in machine learning, complementing recent efforts to accelerate sampling in energy-based models and to analyze diffusion models through thermodynamic principles. They show that breaking detailed balance, rather than merely correcting for slow equilibrium mixing, can yield qualitatively different and beneficial learning dynamics.

Mechanical waveform memory in an athermal random medium

Eamon Dwight and D. Candela

Phys. Rev. E 114, 015406 (2026) - Published 8 July, 2026

This manuscript investigates static waveform memory in a system of jammed, soft, frictional particles. It is shown that a small, time-dependent shear strain applied during progressive compression can imprint an arbitrary waveform, which is recalled in time-reversed order upon decompression. The conditions that allow memory formation and the limits of memory readout are established.

Phys. Rev. E 114, 015407 (2026) - Published 8 July, 2026

Hyperuniformity, the anomalous suppression of density fluctuations in dense particle systems, has been reported in amorphous solids near the jamming transition. This manuscript shows that the value of the hyperuniformity scaling exponent in two dimensions differs from that in three dimensions, unlike previously thought.

Phys. Rev. E 114, 014112 (2026) - Published 9 July, 2026

A run-and-tumble particle is placed in a harmonic confining potential, and an external agent can vary the tumbling rate and the strength of the trap over time. The objective is to find time-dependent control protocols steering the system between assigned end states, in a prescribed time interval. Under suitable assumptions, the authors find analytical solutions that are tested against simulations and provide insightful intuition.

They show that breaking detailed balance, rather than merely correcting for slow equilibrium mixing, can yield qualitatively different and beneficial learning dynamics.

This manuscript investigates static waveform memory in a system of jammed, soft, frictional particles. It is shown that a small, time-dependent shear strain applied during progressive compression can imprint an arbitrary waveform, which is recalled in time-reversed order upon decompression. The conditions that allow memory formation and the limits of memory readout are established.

Hyperuniformity, the anomalous suppression of density fluctuations in dense particle systems, has been reported in amorphous solids near the jamming transition. This manuscript shows that the value of the hyperuniformity scaling exponent in two dimensions differs from that in three dimensions, unlike previously thought.
