Energy Transport Structure and Fluctuation Theorem in Nonreciprocal Harmonic Chains
Ziwei Cheng, Geng Li, Zhanchun Tu
Nonreciprocal interactions fundamentally alter energy transport by breaking the symmetry between forward and backward responses. Here, we uncover an exact transport structure for a…
Shortcuts to Parameter Sweeps
Chi Xiang, Guodong Cheng, Geng Li
Efficient evaluation of stationary parametric sensitivities over broad parameter ranges is important for identifying influential training data, fitting force fields, and predicting…
Geometric Bounds on the Finite-Time Performance of Active Machines
Geng Li, Z. C. Tu
Optimizing energy conversion in active matter remains a central challenge in nonequilibrium physics. Here, we develop a unified thermodynamic framework that characterizes the finit…
Shortcuts to state transitions for active matter
Guodong Cheng, Z. C. Tu, Geng Li
Shortcut schemes can accelerate quasi-static processes in passive systems by adding auxiliary controls to realize swift transitions between equilibrium states. In active systems, h…
Thermodynamic Geometric Control of Active Matter
Yating Wang, Enmai Lei, Yu-Han Ma +2
Active matter represents a class of non-equilibrium systems that constantly dissipate energy to produce directed motion. The thermodynamic control of active matter holds great pote…
A Shortcut to Finite-time Memory Erasure
Geng Li, Hui Dong
To achieve fast computation, it is crucial to reset the memory to a desired state within a limited time. However, the inherent delay in the system's response often prevents reachin…
Geodesic path for the optimal nonequilibrium transition: Momentum-independent protocol
Geng Li, C. P. Sun, Hui Dong
Accelerating controlled thermodynamic processes requires an auxiliary Hamiltonian to steer the system into instantaneous equilibrium states. An extra energy cost is inevitably need…
Geodesic path for the minimal energy cost in shortcuts to isothermality
Geng Li, Jin-Fu Chen, C. P. Sun +1
Shortcut to isothermality is a driving strategy to steer the system to its equilibrium states within finite time, and enables evaluating the impact of a control promptly. Finding o…
Equilibrium free energy differences from a linear nonequilibrium equality
Geng Li, Z. C. Tu
Extracting equilibrium information from nonequilibrium measurements is a challenge task of great importance in understanding the thermodynamic properties of physical, chemical, and…
How initial distribution affects symmetry breaking induced by panic in ants: experiment and flee-pheromone model
Geng Li, Weijia Wang, Jiahui Lin +7
Collective escaping is a ubiquitous phenomenon in animal groups. Symmetry breaking caused by panic escape exhibits a shared feature across species that one exit is used more than t…
Stochastic thermodynamics with odd controlling parameters
Geng Li, Z. C. Tu
Stochastic thermodynamics extends the notions and relations of classical thermodynamics to small systems that experience strong fluctuations. The definitions of work and heat and t…
Shortcuts to isothermality and nonequilibrium work relations
Geng Li, H. T. Quan, Z. C. Tu
In conventional thermodynamics, it is widely acknowledged that the realization of an isothermal process for a system requires a quasi-static controlling protocol. Here we propose a…
Retainability of canonical distributions for a Brownian particle controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential
Geng Li, Z. C. Tu
The retainability of canonical distributions for a Brownian particle controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential is investigated in the overdamped and underdamped situations,…
How can one measure group cohesion? From individual organisms to their interaction
Z. Di, M. Gho, X. Lu +4
Measuring atomic and molecular interactions was one of the main objectives of physics during the past century. It was an essential step not only in itself but because most macrosco…
