Thu 22 Oct 2026   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Sabine Klapp (TU Berlin): Nonreciprocal active and decision-making systems: Connections between particle and continuum scale Centre for Complex Systems Nonreciprocal systems have recently received much interest in the statistical physics community and beyond. One intriguing feature of such systems is their unusual collective behavior including, e.g., spontaneous time-symmetry breaking. These...

Thu 19 Nov 2026   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Haris Skokos (U Cape Town): Chaotic behavior of disordered nonlinear lattices Centre for Complex Systems In this review talk, we discuss the chaotic dynamics and wave packet spreading in disordered nonlinear Hamiltonian lattices, focusing on the disordered Klein-Gordon (DKG) and discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DDNLS) models in one and two spatial...

Thu 3 Dec 2026   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Giuseppe Tenaglia (Imperial): Metastability and conditioned dynamics in high-dimensional systems  Centre for Complex Systems High-dimensional systems can exhibit long-lived transient behaviour, even when they have a unique invariant measure. In some mean-field models, these metastable regimes correspond to distinct equilibria of the infinite-particle limit, yet the...

Sun 29 Aug  - Fri 3 Sep 2027	Conference: Frontiers of search in heterogeneous environments: From Markovian to Non-Markovian dynamics (Les Houches - WE Heraeus Seminar) Centre for Complex Systems Synopsis: The ability to track the motion of animals, cells, and tiny tracers has exposed the absence of a unifying theory for search in heterogeneous environments. Long-standing assumptions about trajectories and first-passage statistics fail...
