Abstract

The Hulthén potential is a short-range potential that has been widely used in various fields of physics. In this paper, we investigate the distribution functions for the Hulthén potential by using statistical and superstatistical methods. We first review the ordinary statistics and superstatistics methods. We then consider some distribution functions, such as uniform, 2-level, gamma, and log-normal and F distributions. Finally, we investigate the behavior of the Hulthén potential for statistical and superstatistical methods and compare the results with each other. We use the Tsallis statistics of the superstatistical system. We conclude that the Tsallis behavior of different distribution functions for the Hulthén potential exhibits better results than the statistical method. We examined the thermal properties of the Hulthén potential for five different distributions: Uniform, 2-level, Gamma, Log-normal, and F. We plotted the Helmholtz free energy and the entropy as functions of temperature for various values of q. It shows that the two uniform and 2-level distributions have the same results due to the universal relationship and that the F distribution does not become ordinary statistics at q=1. It also reveals that the curves of the Helmholtz free energy and the entropy change their order and behavior as q increases and that some distributions disappear or coincide at certain values of q. One can discuss the physical implications of our results and their applications in nuclear and atomic physics in the future.

Breakdown of Adiabatic Scaling and Noise-induced Functional Synchronization in Deeply Quiescent Excitable Systems

Coherence resonance (CR) characterizes noise-induced regularity in excitable systems, yet its evaluation in quiescent biological media is often obscured by flattened energy landscapes and complex nonlinear dynamics. In this study, we investigate the stochastic dynamics of a 3D Sherman-Rinzel-Keizer (SRK) model driven by multiplicative Feller noise. We show that traditional extremal evaluations of CR encounter a "bathtub effect", a broad resonance valley that can lead to statistical inaccuracies. To address this, we propose a logarithmic centroid extraction method, which filters out stochastic jitter and recovers the underlying adiabatic Kramers scaling with high linearity. Furthermore, we identify the physical boundary where this adiabatic approximation breaks down under the strong-noise limit. Extending our analysis to gap-junction coupled systems, we observe a noise-induced transition from sub-threshold physiological shivering (characterized by statistical correlation but negligible functional output) to macroscopic functional synchronization. Our results provide a mathematical framework for extracting optimal noise intensities in broad energy valleys and offer insights into how quiescent biological systems utilize stochastic fluctuations for functional recovery.

Quantum Stochastic Walks on the Permutation Group

How rapidly does order give way to randomness, and can quantum coherence accelerate this process? We address these questions through the paradigmatic problem of card shuffling, formulated as a random walk on the symmetric group $S_n$. We first recast the random-transposition walk studied by Diaconis and Shahshahani, as well as more general walks generated by conjugacy classes of $S_n$, in continuous time. We then identify the transition matrix of each classical walk with a permutation Hamiltonian generating a corresponding unitary quantum walk. Purely unitary evolution, however, does not generically converge to the uniform distribution in the classical sense of mixing: coherence preserves information rather than erasing it. We therefore embed the problem into a quantum stochastic walk, where coherent dynamics competes with the dissipative process responsible for classical mixing. In this setting, quantum coherence assists randomization. We prove that it can only decrease the distance from the uniform distribution in the computational basis and can therefore accelerate mixing. An analysis of the slowest mode yields a criterion for the coupling strength required to produce an appreciable speedup. Finally, numerical results reveal a scaling collapse of the ratio between quantum and classical mixing times onto a simple one-parameter form. Our results illustrate how coherence and dissipation can cooperate in the emergence of randomness in walks on permutation groups.

Exact Nonperturbative Equilibrium Mode Statistics in Nonlinear Wave and Lattice Systems

We derive exact finite-size nonperturbative representations of equilibrium modal occupations and related statistics for three representative nonlinear systems: the Majda-McLaughlin-Tabak dispersive-wave model, the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou beta anharmonic chain, and the discrete nonlinear Schrodinger lattice field. Independent simulations confirm the predictions from weak to strong nonlinearity. For DNLS, the theory remains accurate across the weak-coupling quasicondensation crossover, where large low-mode occupations and long-range coherence amplify interaction effects even when the bare nonlinear coefficient is small. The finite-ring DNLS occupations are further resolved into a positive sum of Rayleigh-Jeans channels with distinct correlation lengths, explaining when a single Rayleigh-Jeans law applies and why it fails near quasicondensation. In MMT and DNLS, the exact occupations also determine the mean modal frequencies even when the dynamical spectra broaden or split. The nonperturbative results allow a direct assessment of two representative perturbative approaches. Treating the mean interaction appropriately yields accurate low-order approximations, including at strong nonlinearity. At higher orders, however, the corrections cease to decrease and successive approximations oscillate with increasing amplitude; both finite-order approaches also fail near weak-coupling quasicondensation. Thus neither low-order agreement nor a small bare coupling guarantees a reliable perturbative description. The results establish nonperturbative equilibrium theory for widely used nonlinear wave and lattice models and provide a quantitative basis for modal distributions of energy, particles, and optical power in nonlinear optics, dispersive waves, anharmonic lattices, and cold-atom systems.
