Optimal resetting strategies for search processes in heterogeneous environments
Gregorio García-Valladares, Carlos A. Plata, Antonio Prados +1
In many physical situations, there appears the problem of reaching a single target that is spatially distributed. Here we analyse how stochastic resetting, also spatially distribut…
Information in feedback ratchets
Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Daniel Villarubia-Moreno, Antonio Prados +1
Feedback control uses the state information of the system to actuate on it. The information used implies an effective entropy reduction of the controlled system, potentially increa…
Buckling in a rotationally invariant spin-elastic model
G. García-Valladares, C. A. Plata, A. Prados
Scanning tunneling microscopy experiments have revealed an spontaneous rippled-to-buckled transition in heated graphene sheets, in absence of any mechanical load. Several models re…
Thermal brachistochrone for harmonically confined Brownian particles
Antonio Patrón, Antonio Prados, Carlos A. Plata
The overdamped Brownian dynamics of a harmonic oscillator is a paradigmatic system in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, which reliably models relevant stochastic systems such…
Driving rapidly while remaining in control: classical shortcuts from Hamiltonian to stochastic dynamics
David Guéry-Odelin, Christopher Jarzynski, Carlos A. Plata +2
Stochastic thermodynamics lays down a broad framework to revisit the venerable concepts of heat, work and entropy production for individual stochastic trajectories of mesoscopic sy…
Thermal versus entropic Mpemba effect in molecular gases with nonlinear drag
Alberto Megías, Andrés Santos, Antonio Prados
Loosely speaking, the Mpemba effect appears when hotter systems cool sooner or, in a more abstract way, when systems further from equilibrium relax faster. In this paper, we invest…
