Irreversible entropy production: From classical to quantum

GT Landi, M Paternostro - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2021 - APS
Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

Exponentially faster cooling in a colloidal system

A Kumar, J Bechhoefer - Nature, 2020 - nature.com
As the temperature of a cooling object decreases as it relaxes to thermal equilibrium, it is
intuitively assumed that a hot object should take longer to cool than a warm one. Yet, some …

High-precision test of Landauer's principle in a feedback trap

Y Jun, M Gavrilov, J Bechhoefer - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We confirm Landauer's 1961 hypothesis that reducing the number of possible macroscopic
states in a system by a factor of 2 requires work of at least k T ln 2. Our experiment uses a …

Active particles bound by information flows

U Khadka, V Holubec, H Yang, F Cichos - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
Self-organization is the generation of order out of local interactions. It is deeply connected to
many fields of science from physics, chemistry to biology, all based on physical interactions …

Nonreciprocal forces enable cold-to-hot heat transfer between nanoparticles

SAM Loos, S Arabha, A Rajabpour, A Hassanali… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
We study the heat transfer between two nanoparticles held at different temperatures that
interact through nonreciprocal forces, by combining molecular dynamics simulations with …

Geometry of thermodynamic control

PR Zulkowski, DA Sivak, GE Crooks… - Physical Review E …, 2012 - APS
A deeper understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena is needed to reveal the principles
governing natural and synthetic molecular machines. Recent work has shown that when a …

Brownian duet: a novel tale of thermodynamic efficiency

K Proesmans, Y Dreher, M Gavrilov, J Bechhoefer… - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
We calculate analytically the stochastic thermodynamic properties of an isothermal
Brownian engine driven by a duo of time-periodic forces, including its Onsager coefficients …

Optimal finite-time erasure of a classical bit

PR Zulkowski, MR DeWeese - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
Information erasure inevitably leads to the generation of heat. Minimizing this dissipation will
be crucial for develo** small-scale information processing systems, but little is known …

Path-integral formalism for stochastic resetting: Exactly solved examples and shortcuts to confinement

É Roldán, S Gupta - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
We study the dynamics of overdamped Brownian particles diffusing in conservative force
fields and undergoing stochastic resetting to a given location at a generic space-dependent …
