Nonreciprocal dynamics with weak noise: aperiodic "Escher cycles" and their quasipotential landscape
Janik Schüttler, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
We present an explicit construction of the Freidlin-Wentzell quasipotential of a stochastic system with two degrees of freedom and nonreciprocal interactions. This model undergoes…
Non-equilibrium pathways between cluster morphologies in active phase separation: necking, rupture and cavitation
Liheng Yao, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
We investigate the dynamical pathways of a morphological transition in a two-dimensional active lattice gas undergoing motility-induced phase separation. The transition is between…
Spontaneous Ratchet Currents and Transition Dynamics in Active Wetting
Noah Grodzinski, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates
Self-propelled particles accumulate on repulsive barriers in so-called active wetting, whose relationship with equilibrium wetting remains unclear. Using an exact (noiseless) hydro…
Avalanche-like lithium intercalation and intraparticle correlations in graphite
Jiho Han, George S. Phillips, Alice J. Merryweather +5
Graphite is the most widely used anode material in lithium-ion batteries with over 98% market share. However, despite its first application over 30 years ago, the lithium insertion…
Exact large deviations and emergent long-range correlations in sequential quantum East circuits
Jimin Li, Bruno Bertini, Juan P. Garrahan +1
Exploiting quantum measurements is a promising route for preparation of correlated quantum states. We use methods from large deviation theory to solve this problem exactly for a sp…
Hydrodynamic theory of wetting by active particles
Noah Grodzinski, Michael E. Cates, Robert L. Jack
The accumulation of self-propelled particles on repulsive barriers is a widely observed feature in active matter. Despite being implicated in a broad range of biological processes,…
Entropy production rate in thermodynamically consistent flocks
Tal Agranov, Robert L. Jack, Michael E. Cates +1
We study the entropy production rate (EPR) of aligning self-propelled particles which undergo a flocking transition towards a polarized collective motion. In our thermodynamically…
