Yu Deng of the University of Chicago links Newtonian mechanics and the Boltzmann equation, advancing Hilbert’s Sixth Problem ...

Researchers have created a new theoretical framework that shows how memory-preserving "memtransistors" could overcome the intrinsic limits in efficiency faced by conventional semiconductor transistors ...

A research team has developed a novel direct sampling method based on deep generative models. Their method enables efficient sampling of the Boltzmann distribution across a continuous temperature ...

The Boltzmann brain hypothesis suggests that our memories are nothing more than unlikely fluctuations. According to the theory, the past and the future don’t exist—only the present does. Researchers ...

To many physicists, “Tsallis entropy” has been a revolution in statistical mechanics. To others, it is merely a useful fitting technique. Jon Cartwright tries to make sense of this world of disorder. ...

A new analysis of the “Boltzmann brain” paradox suggests our memories and sense of reality could, in theory, be random illusions born from cosmic chaos. By uncovering circular reasoning in how ...

The chaotic Boltzmann machine proposed in this paper is a chaotic pseudo-billiard system that works as a Boltzmann machine. Chaotic Boltzmann machines are shown numerically to have computing abilities ...

Was an incredible drop in entropy responsible for the Big Bang? If that’s the case, this w Was an incredible drop in entropy responsible for the Big Bang? If that’s the case, this would lead us to ...
