| Summary of Lecture: | Complex systems are systems with many interacting constituents that exhibit collective system-scale phenomena beyond the dynamics of the individual components. Standard examples from statistical physics are the global alignment of spins in the Ising model or the macroscopic occupation numbers of a single quantum state in Bose-Einstein condensation. However, applications of these concepts reach far beyond standard physical systems. Similar phenomena may be observed in the spontaneous emergence of synchronization of the blinking of fireflies, the firing of neurons on the brain, or the emergence of phantom traffic jams. In this seminar we will discuss basic concepts and specific applications of these ideas of complex systems physics. Topics will include for example the self-organized synchronization of coupled oscillators, topological speed limits in network dynamical systems, and the emergence and breakdown of connectivity in networks. |
