Effect of chaos on the simulation of quantum critical phenomena in analog quantum simulators by Karthik Chinni, Pablo M. Poggi, Ivan H. Deutsch

“…We study how chaos, introduced by a weak perturbation, affects the reliability of the output of analog quantum simulation. As a toy model, we consider the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. …”

Scrambling Dynamics and Out-of-Time-Ordered Correlators in Quantum Many-Body Systems by Shenglong Xu, Brian Swingle

“…The general behavior of the OTOC is discussed based on several toy models, including the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, random circuit models, and Brownian models, in which the OTOC is analytically tractable. …”

Composing games into complex institutions by Seth Frey, Jules Hedges, Joshua Tan, Philipp Zahn

“…Game theory is used by all behavioral sciences, but its development has long centered around the economic interpretation of equilibrium outcomes in relatively simple games and toy systems. But game theory has another potential use: the high-level design of large game compositions that express complex architectures and represent real-world institutions faithfully. …”

Petermann factors and phase rigidities near exceptional points by Jan Wiersig

“…The predictions of the general theory are successfully compared to analytical solutions of a toy model. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the connection between the Petermann factor and the spectral response strength provides the basis for an efficient numerical scheme to calculate the latter. …”

Enforcing Ecological Borders between the Human and the Nonhuman: Adapting Pygmalion’s Benevolent Galatea into Frankenstein’s and Contemporary Monsters by Robert Geal

“…The article traces these ecophobic borders from the polytheistic ‘Pygmalion’ narrative, through the monotheistic/scientific Frankenstein narrative, to contemporary films about human/nonhuman borders such as The Terminator and Toy Story.…”

Equilibration and “Thermalization” in the Adapted Caldeira–Leggett Model by Andreas Albrecht

“…I explore the processes of equilibration exhibited by the Adapted Caldeira–Leggett (ACL) model, a small unitary “toy model” developed for numerical studies of quantum decoherence between an SHO and an environment. …”

External rewards and inhibitory control in preschoolers. by Loh, Jun Qin.

“…Four- to 5- years old (N = 47) were randomly assigned to two groups: Reward-informed group (informed about receiving a toy as reward after completing target task very well) and reward-uninformed group (informed nothing). …”

Signal and noise in regime systems: A hypothesis on the predictability of the North Atlantic Oscillation by Strommen, K, Palmer, T

“…We analyse both the skill and signal‐to‐noise ratio using a new statistical toy model, which assumes NAO predictability is driven by regime dynamics. …”

Transcranial magnetic stimulation. by O'Shea, J, Walsh, V

“…As any schoolboy with a toolkit or a broken toy soon appreciates, to find out how a machine works you need to take it apart, and to put it back together again, you need to know how it works. …”

Uneven integration for perception and action cues in children's working memory. by Nardini, M, Braddick, O, Atkinson, J, Cowie, D, Ahmed, T, Reidy, H

“…Children had to recall which box held a hidden toy, based on (a) the action cue, (b) the surface cue, or (c) a conjunction of the two. …”

Kink-boundary collisions in a two-dimensional scalar field theory by Antunes, N, Copeland, E, Hindmarsh, M, Lukas, A

“…In a two-dimensional toy model, motivated from five-dimensional heterotic M theory, we study the collision of scalar field kinks with boundaries. …”
