Mpemba Effect - An Anomalous Relaxation Phenomenon

Explore a 28-minute lecture from the Indo-French workshop on Classical and Quantum Dynamics in Out of Equilibrium Systems, focusing on the Mpemba effect and its anomalous relaxation phenomenon. Delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences' Ramanujan Lecture Hall in Bengaluru, learn about this fascinating physics concept as part of a broader workshop covering non-equilibrium statistical physics, quantum many-body systems, long-range interactions, quantum resetting, generalized Gibbs ensembles, phase space quantum dynamics, and quantum measurement theory. Gain insights from this collaborative academic initiative between French and Indian theoretical physics laboratories, supported by CEFIPRA and designed to foster international research partnerships and scientific exchanges between the two countries.
