The Casimir effect: from quantum to critical fluctuations
Andrea Gambassi
The Casimir effect in quantum electrodynamics (QED) is perhaps the best-known example of fluctuation-induced long-ranged force acting on objects (conducting plates) immersed in a f…
Universal scaling functions of critical Casimir forces obtained by Monte Carlo simulations
O. Vasilyev, A. Gambassi, A. Maciolek +1
Effective Casimir forces induced by thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of bulk critical points are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations in three-dimensional systems for fi…
Optimal potentials for temperature ratchets
Florian Berger, Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
In a spatially periodic temperature profile, directed transport of an overdamped Brownian particle can be induced along a periodic potential. With a load force applied to the parti…
Repulsive shield between polar molecules
A. V. Gorshkov, P. Rabl, G. Pupillo +4
We propose and analyze a technique that allows to suppress inelastic collisions and simultaneously enhance elastic interactions between cold polar molecules. The main idea is to ca…
Large deviation function for entropy production in driven one-dimensional systems
Jakob Mehl, Thomas Speck, Udo Seifert
The large deviation function for entropy production is calculated for a particle driven along a periodic potential by solving a time-independent eigenvalue problem. In an intermedi…
Optimal protocols for minimal work processes in underdamped stochastic thermodynamics
Alex Gomez-Marin, Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
For systems in an externally controllable time-dependent potential, the optimal protocol minimizes the mean work spent in a finite-time transition between two given equilibrium sta…
