First passage processes and electrostatics

Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting

First passage processes and electrostatics

  • Event time: 11:30am
  • Event date: 19th February 2014
  • Speaker: Jakub Pastuszak (Formerly School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Edinburgh)
  • Location: Room 2511,

Event details

In this talk I will outline the connection between first passage properties of diffusion and electrostatics. I will outline relation between the electric fields and first passage probabilities for the problems in similar geometry, and I will show how one can relate first passage times to electrostatic potentials.
