Efficient path sampling for trajectory ensembles with applications to non-equilibrium systems
This thesis utilises large deviation methods to study nonequilibrium phenomena in both quantum and classical systems. The dynamical analogues of the ensembles of statistical mechanics are used to explore dynamical phase spaces of systems, quantifying atypical fluctuations that can play a critical ro...
