Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

We investigate the impact of community structure on information diffusion with the linear
threshold model. Our results demonstrate that modular structure may have counterintuitive …

A key ingredient in social contagion dynamics is reinforcement, as adopting a certain social
behavior requires verification of its credibility and legitimacy. Memory of nonredundant …

A new method (“explosive immunization”) is proposed for immunization and targeted
destruction of networks. It combines the explosive percolation (EP) paradigm with the idea of …

Empirical evidence reveals that contagion processes often occur with competition of simple
and complex contagion, meaning that while some agents follow simple contagion, others …

We present a quantum algorithm to compute the entanglement spectrum of arbitrary
quantum states. The interesting universal part of the entanglement spectrum is typically …

The spread of social phenomena such as behaviors, ideas or products is an ubiquitous but
remarkably complex phenomenon. A successful avenue to study the spread of social …

The neural network is a powerful computing framework that has been exploited by biological
evolution and by humans for solving diverse problems. Although the computational …

Non-pharmaceutical measures such as preventive quarantines, remote working, school and
workplace closures, lockdowns, etc. have shown effectiveness from an epidemic control …

The dynamical process of epidemic spreading has drawn much attention of the complex
network community. In the network paradigm, diseases spread from one person to another …
