Learning efficient erasure protocols for an underdamped memory
Nicolas Barros, Stephen Whitelam, Sergio Ciliberto +1
We apply evolutionary reinforcement learning to a simulation model in order to identify efficient time-dependent erasure protocols for a physical realization of a one-bit memory by…
Information engine fueled by first-passage times
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +3
Using a mechanical cantilever submitted to electrostatic feedback control, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of an information engine that extracts work from thermal fluc…
Inertial effects in discrete sampling information engines
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Sergio Ciliberto +1
We describe an experiment on an underdamped mechanical oscillator used as an information engine. The system is equivalent to an inertial Brownian particle confined in a harmonic po…
Probabilistic work extraction on a classical oscillator beyond the second law
Nicolas Barros, Sergio Ciliberto, Ludovic Bellon
We demonstrate experimentally that, applying optimal protocols which drive the system between two equilibrium states characterized by a free energy difference , we can maximize…
Multimode characterization of an optical beam deflection setup
Alex Fontana, Ludovic Bellon
Optical beam deflection is a popular method to measure the deformation of micromechanical devices. As it measures mostly a local slope, its sensitivity depends on the location and…
