An altruistic resource-sharing mechanism for synchronization: The energy-speed-accuracy tradeoff

Dongliang Zhang, Yuansheng Cao, Qi Ouyang +1

Synchronization among a group of active agents is ubiquitous in nature. Although synchronization based on direct interactions between agents described by the Kuramoto model is well…

Free energy dissipation enhances spatial accuracy and robustness of Turing pattern in small reaction-diffusion systems

Dongliang Zhang, Chenghao Zhang, Qi Ouyang +1

Accurate and robust spatial orders are ubiquitous in living systems. In 1952, Alan Turing proposed an elegant mechanism for pattern formation based on spontaneous breaking of the s…

Scaling of Energy Dissipation in Nonequilibrium Reaction Networks

Qiwei Yu, Dongliang Zhang, Yuhai Tu

The energy dissipation rate in a nonequilibirum reaction system can be determined by the reaction rates in the underlying reaction network. By developing a coarse-graining process…

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of coupled molecular oscillators: The energy cost and optimal design for synchronization

Dongliang Zhang, Yuansheng Cao, Qi Ouyang +1

A model of coupled molecular oscillators is proposed to study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of synchronization. We find that synchronization of nonequilibrium oscillators costs ene…

Ergodicity and Mixing in Quantum Dynamics

Dongliang Zhang, H. T. Quan, Biao Wu

After a brief historical review of ergodicity and mixing in dynamics, particularly in quantum dynamics, we introduce definitions of quantum ergodicity and mixing using the structur…
