Journal ArticleDOI
Dark states of quantum search cause imperfect detection
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a quantum version of the first-passage problem, where a detector repeatedly probes the system with fixed rate until the walker is detected, and give a simple upper bound for the detection probability that is controlled by the number of equivalent states in the system.

Scaling solution in the large population limit of the general asymmetric stochastic Luria-Delbr\"uck evolution process
David A. Kessler,Herbert Levine +1 more
TL;DR: A scaling solution valid in this limit of the emergence of drug resistance is provided, making contact with the theory of Levy $$\alpha $$α-stable distributions, in particular one discussed long ago by Landau.
Book ChapterDOI
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS: Geometrical Approach to Moving-Interface Dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, a general class of models is introduced which relate the motion of a phase boundary to properties of the local interfacial geometry, possibly giving rise to nonequilibrium spatial patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Singularities in Speckled Speckle
Isaac Freund,David A. Kessler +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the point singularities of random optical fields with two (or more) widely different correlation lengths exhibit speckle spots that are themselves highly speckled, and the singularity structure of speckles is anomalous: for some sets of source parameters vortices and C points tend to form widely separated giant clusters.

Equilibrium state of molecular breeding
Elisheva Cohen,David A. Kessler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the equilibrium state of the model of Peng, \textit{et al., for molecular breeding is investigated, where a population of DNA sequences is successively culled by removing the sequences with the lowest binding affinity to a particular target sequence.
