Work as a function of protocol duration for the efficient erasure of an underdamped memory: isothermal to adiabatic transition

Nicolas Barros, Stephen Whitelam, Sergio Ciliberto +1

We use evolutionary reinforcement learning to determine efficient time-dependent erasure protocols for an underdamped cantilever moving in a double-well potential, an experimental…

A neural-network Maxwell's demon learns cold damping for work extraction

Stephen Whitelam, Sergio Ciliberto, Ludovic Bellon

We train a neural-network Maxwell's demon to extract work from a model of an underdamped micromechanical cantilever subject to thermal noise. The demon, which periodically adjusts…

First passage time distribution in underdamped harmonic oscillators

Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +2

We derive the distribution of the first passage time for the position of an underdamped harmonic oscillator to overcome a threshold . As the distribution…

First passage time for an underdamped harmonic oscillator and application to the power of an information engine

Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +2

The distribution of the first passage time for the position to overcome a threshold is calculated in an underdamped harmonic oscillator. The proof combines sever…

Experimental evidence for strong emergent correlations between particles in a switching trap

Marco Biroli, Sergio Ciliberto, Manas Kulkarni +3

We experimentally study a system of two-dimensional Brownian particles, each confined in a harmonic trap with identical stiffness. The stiffness switches simultaneously bet…

Fluctuation theorems with optical tweezers: theory and practice

Thalyta T. Martins, André H. A. Malavazi, Lucas P. Kamizaki +4

Fluctuation theorems, such as the Jarzynski equality and the Crooks relation, are effective tools connecting non-equilibrium work statistics and equilibrium free energy differences…
