Information-to-work conversion in single molecule experiments: from discrete to continuous feedback
arXiv:2110.05923 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.107.L052104
Abstract
We theoretically investigate the extractable work in single molecule unfolding-folding experiments with applied feedback. Using a simple two-state model, we obtain a description of the full work distribution, from discrete to continuous feedback. The effect of the feedback is captured by a detailed fluctuation theorem, accounting for the information aquired. We find analytical expressions for the average work extraction as well as an experimentally measurable bound thereof, which becomes tight in the continuous feedback limit. We further determine the parameters for maximal power, or rate of work extraction. While our two-state model only depends on a single, effective transition rate, we find quantitative agreement with Monte Carlo simulations of DNA hairpin unfolding-folding dynamics.
