Conditional splitting probabilities for hidden-state inference in drift-diffusive processes

Emir Sezik, Jacob Knight, Henry Alston +4

Splitting probabilities quantify the likelihood of particular outcomes out of a set of mutually-exclusive possibilities for stochastic processes and play a central role in first-pa…

The OU process: Characterising dissipative confinement in noisy traps

Luca Cocconi, Henry Alston, Jacopo Romano +1

The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process describes the dynamics of Brownian particles in a confining harmonic potential, thereby constituting the paradigmatic model of overdamped, mean-…

Irreversibility across a nonreciprocal -symmetry-breaking phase transition

Henry Alston, Luca Cocconi, Thibault Bertrand

Nonreciprocal interactions are commonplace in continuum-level descriptions of both biological and synthetic active matter, yet studies addressing their implications for time-revers…

Active Bound States Arise From Transiently Nonreciprocal Pair Interactions

Luca Cocconi, Henry Alston, Thibault Bertrand

Static nonreciprocal forces between particles generically drive persistent motion reminiscent of self-propulsion. Here, we demonstrate that reciprocity-breaking fluctuations about…

Optimal power extraction from active particles with hidden states

Luca Cocconi, Jacob Knight, Connor Roberts

We identify generic protocols achieving optimal power extraction from a single active particle subject to continuous feedback control under the assumption that its spatial trajecto…

Particle Entity in the Doi-Peliti and Response Field Formalisms

Marius Bothe, Luca Cocconi, Zigan Zhen +1

We introduce a procedure to test a theory for point particle entity, that is, whether said theory takes into account the discrete nature of the constituents of the system. We then…

Non-equilibrium thermodynamics of diffusion in fluctuating potentials

Henry Alston, Luca Cocconi, Thibault Bertrand

A positive rate of entropy production at steady state is a distinctive feature of truly non-equilibrium processes. Exact results, while being often limited to simple models, offer…

Scaling of Entropy Production under Coarse Graining in Active Disordered Media

Luca Cocconi, Guillaume Salbreux, Gunnar Pruessner

Entropy production plays a fundamental role in the study of non-equilibrium systems by offering a quantitative handle on the degree of time-reversal symmetry breaking. It depends c…

Entropy production in exactly solvable systems

Luca Cocconi, Rosalba Garcia-Millan, Zigan Zhen +2

The rate of entropy production by a stochastic process quantifies how far it is from thermodynamic equilibrium. Equivalently, entropy production captures the degree to which detail…

Dynamically accelerated cover times

Gcina Maziya, Luca Cocconi, Gunnar Pruessner +1

Among observables characterising the random exploration of a graph or lattice, the cover time, namely the time to visit every site, continues to attract widespread interest. Much i…
