Unraveling anomalous relaxation effects in the thermodynamic limit

Emilio Pomares, Víctor Martín-Mayor, Antonio Lasanta +1

We address two central open problems in the theory of anomalous Mpemba-like relaxations: their extension beyond one spatial dimension and their consistent formulation in the thermo…

The cost of speed: Time-optimal thermal control of trapped Brownian particles

Miguel Ibanez, Antonio Patron-Castro, Antonio Lasanta +3

A thermal analogue of the classical brachistochrone problem, which minimizes the connection time between two equilibrium states of harmonically confined Brownian particles, has rec…

Shortcuts of freely relaxing systems using equilibrium physical observables

Isidoro González-Adalid Pemartín, Emanuel Mompó, Antonio Lasanta +2

Many systems, when initially placed far from equilibrium, exhibit surprising behavior in their attempt to equilibrate. Striking examples are the Mpemba effect and the cooling-heati…

Heating and Cooling are Fundamentally Asymmetric and Evolve Along Distinct Pathways

Miguel Ibáñez, Cai Dieball, Antonio Lasanta +2

According to conventional wisdom, a system placed in an environment with a different temperature tends to relax to the temperature of the latter, mediated by the flows of heat and/…

Slow growth of magnetic domains helps fast evolution routes for out-of-equilibrium dynamics

Isidoro González-Adalid Pemartín, Emanuel Mompó, Antonio Lasanta +2

Cooling and heating faster a system is a crucial problem in science, technology and industry. Indeed, choosing the best thermal protocol to reach a desired temperature or energy is…

Typical and rare fluctuations in nonlinear driven diffusive systems with dissipation

P. I. Hurtado, A. Lasanta, A. Prados

We consider fluctuations of the dissipated energy in nonlinear driven diffusive systems subject to bulk dissipation and boundary driving. With this aim, we extend the recently-intr…

Nonlinear driven diffusive systems with dissipation: fluctuating hydrodynamics

A. Prados, A. Lasanta, Pablo I. Hurtado

We consider a general class of nonlinear diffusive models with bulk dissipation and boundary driving, and derive its hydrodynamic description in the large size limit. Both the aver…
