Article Abstract
For tokamaks with uniform magnetic shear, Martin and Taylor have proposed a symplectic map which has been used to describe the magnetic field lines at the plasma edge perturbed by an ergodic magnetic limiter. We propose an analytical magnetic field line map, based on the Martin-Taylor map, for a tokamak with arbitrary safety factor profile. With the inclusion of a nonmonotonic profile, we obtain a nontwist map which presents the characteristic properties of degenerate systems, such as the twin islands scenario, shearless curve, and separatrix reconnection. We estimate the width of the islands and describe their changes of shape for large values of the limiter current. From our numerical simulations about the shearless curve, we show that its position and aspect depend on the control parameters.

Ergodicity Breaking and Scaling Relations for Finite-Time First-Order Phase Transition.

Hysteresis and metastable states are typical features associated with ergodicity breaking in the first-order phase transition. We explore the scaling relations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics in finite-time first-order phase transitions. Using the Curie-Weiss model as an example, for large systems we find the excess work scales as v^{2/3} when the magnetic field is quenched at a finite rate v across the phase transition.

Passive error correction protects logical information forever (in the thermodynamic limit) by updating the system based only on local information and few-body interactions. A paradigmatic example is the classical two-dimensional Ising model: a Metropolis-style Gibbs sampler retains the sign of the initial magnetization (a logical bit) for thermodynamically long times in the low-temperature phase. Known models of passive quantum error correction similarly exhibit thermodynamic phase transitions to a low-temperature phase wherein logical qubits are protected by thermally stable topological order.

We investigate how the magnetic structures of the plasma change in a large aspect ratio tokamak perturbed by an ergodic magnetic limiter, when a system parameter is non-adiabatically varied in time. We model such a scenario by considering the Ullmann-Caldas nontwist map, where we introduce an explicit time-dependence to the ratio of the limiter and plasma currents. We apply the tools developed recently in the field of chaotic Hamiltonian systems subjected to parameter drift.

Multiscale mass transport across membranes occurs ubiquitously in biological systems but is difficult to achieve and long-sought-after in abiotic systems. The multiscale transmembrane transport in abiotic systems requires the integration of multiscale transport channels and energy ergodicity, making multiscale mass transport a significant challenge. Herein, emulsion droplets with cell-like confinement are used as the experimental model, and multiscale mass transport is achieved from molecular scale to nanoscale to micron scale, reproducing rudimentary forms of cell-like transport behaviors.

In many applications, one is interested in classifying trajectories of symplectic maps as invariant tori, islands, or chaos. Here, we introduce Birkhoff reduced rank extrapolation (RRE), a modified version of the RRE method, which efficiently obtains ergodic averages of invariant tori and islands in symplectic maps. In contrast, Birkhoff RRE does not efficiently converge in chaos, meaning its convergence rate can be used for trajectory classification.
