In this episode we talk with Peter Sollich of King’s College, London about disordered systems, statistical mechanics and complexity. In particular, we discuss the difference between quenched and annealing disorder, the relation to entropy, complexity and chaos, the formalisms used to tackle such systems as well as a whole lot of examples from physics and other sciences.

Great episode!
I don’t mind the social sharing reminders. I agree it’s mostly unnecessary. But sometimes it’s not, and you may as well promote yourself. I imagine much of your audience is older than 25. So their first reaction to enjoying a product probably isn’t to share it on social media like a modern teenager might.
Indeed. It’s also at the very end. So if somebody is annoyed, they can always just switch off :-)
Interesting but hard to understand. Still not sure I ‘captured’ everything :-)
Same here Bert :-)
Even if I didn’t either get everything I found this episode very interesting, especially the multi-faceted application of these kinds of systems and their common parameters.
Right. Interesting topic, hard to understand.
