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

Non-extensive statistical physics (NESP) provides a robust framework for characterising the complex, scale-invariant behaviour of seismic events. Extending beyond classical Boltzmann–Gibbs theory, ...

John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton received the Nobel Prize in physics on Oct. 8, 2024, for their research on machine learning algorithms and neural networks that help computers learn. Their work ...

If your jaw dropped as you watched the latest AI-generated video, your bank balance was saved from criminals by a fraud detection system, or your day was made a little easier because you were able to ...

What is and is not possible for natural evolution may be explained using models and calculations from theoretical physics, say researchers. To explain this the limits of evolution, researchers ...

In physics, specifically statistical mechanics, an ensemble (also statistical ensemble) is an idealization consisting of a large number of virtual copies (sometimes infinitely many) of a system, ...

The Department of Physics offers a research-intensive, two-year program leading to the Master of Science degree. During the two years in the program, students are required to demonstrate proficiency ...
