On the Cover

Phase-space plot of a noise-driven bistable system; the two stable points are on the left and right, and there is an unstable point at the center. The system moves on lines of constant color, with the black zero-energy lines the most probable. Noise can cause the system to transit from one stable point to the other, at a rate given by the negative exponential of the area between the black lines.
