Density fluctuations of polymers in disordered media.

We study self-avoiding random walks in an environment where sites are excluded randomly, in two and three dimensions. For a single polymer chain, we study the statistics of the time averaged monomer density and show that these are well described by multifractal statistics. This is true even far from the percolation transition of the disordered medium. We investigate solutions of chains in a disordered environment and show that the statistics cease to be multifractal beyond the screening length of the solution.

    We present the first complete calculation of the history of the inhomogeneous 21-cm signal from neutral hydrogen during the era of the first stars. We use Hybrid computational methods to capture the large-scale distribution of the First stars, whose radiation couples to the neutral hydrogen emission...

    We construct and analyze a quantum optical Model of a photonic circuit for iterative decoding of a class of low-density Parity-check (LDPC) codes called expander codes. Our circuit can be understood As an open quantum system whose autonomous dynamics map straightforwardly onto The subroutines of an...

    We combine high-level theoretical and \emph{ab initio} understanding of Graphite to develop a simple, parametrised force-field model of interlayer Binding in graphite, including the difficult non-pairwise-additive Coupled-fluctuation dispersion interactions. The model is given as a simple Additive c...
