Irreversibility and biased ensembles in active matter: Insights from stochastic thermodynamics

É Fodor, RL Jack, ME Cates - Annual Review of Condensed …, 2022‏ - annualreviews.org
Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

Ergodicity and large deviations in physical systems with stochastic dynamics

RL Jack - The European Physical Journal B, 2020‏ - Springer
In ergodic physical systems, time-averaged quantities converge (for large times) to their
ensemble-averaged values. Large deviation theory describes rare events where these time …

Nonequilibrium Markov processes conditioned on large deviations

R Chetrite, H Touchette - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2015‏ - Springer
We consider the problem of conditioning a Markov process on a rare event and of
representing this conditioned process by a conditioning-free process, called the effective or …

Unraveling the large deviation statistics of Markovian open quantum systems

F Carollo, RL Jack, JP Garrahan - Physical review letters, 2019‏ - APS
We analyze dynamical large deviations of quantum trajectories in Markovian open quantum
systems in their full generality. We derive a quantum level-2.5 large deviation principle for …

Partial differential equations and stochastic methods in molecular dynamics

T Lelievre, G Stoltz - Acta Numerica, 2016‏ - cambridge.org
The objective of molecular dynamics computations is to infer macroscopic properties of
matter from atomistic models via averages with respect to probability measures dictated by …

Nonequilibrium microcanonical and canonical ensembles and their equivalence

R Chetrite, H Touchette - Physical review letters, 2013‏ - APS
Generalizations of the microcanonical and canonical ensembles for paths of Markov
processes have been proposed recently to describe the statistical properties of …

Perspective: How to overcome dynamical density functional theory

D de Las Heras, T Zimmermann… - Journal of Physics …, 2023‏ - iopscience.iop.org
We argue in favour of develo** a comprehensive dynamical theory for rationalizing,
predicting, designing, and machine learning nonequilibrium phenomena that occur in soft …

Thermodynamic cost for precision of general counting observables

P Pietzonka, F Coghi - Physical Review E, 2024‏ - APS
We analytically derive universal bounds that describe the tradeoff between thermodynamic
cost and precision in a sequence of events related to some internal changes of an otherwise …

Equivalence and nonequivalence of ensembles: Thermodynamic, macrostate, and measure levels

H Touchette - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2015‏ - Springer
We present general and rigorous results showing that the microcanonical and canonical
ensembles are equivalent at all three levels of description considered in statistical …

Optimizing active work: Dynamical phase transitions, collective motion, and jamming

T Nemoto, É Fodor, ME Cates, RL Jack, J Tailleur - Physical Review E, 2019‏ - APS
Active work measures how far the local self-forcing of active particles translates into real
motion. Using population Monte Carlo methods, we investigate large deviations in the active …
