NP-completeness of non-planar Ising model versus polynomial time eigenvalue algorithms

From the papers by Barahona and Istrail I understand that a combinatorial approach is followed to prove the NP-completeness of non-planar Ising models. Basic idea is non-planarity here. On the other ...

Does an Ising lattice that returns to equilibrium create a current by induction?

Consider you have an Ising lattice with a dominant up component out of thermal equilibrium, that's your initial state. The down spins want to flip up and align with the ups, and they'll do so until a ...
