Hidden energy flows in strongly coupled nonequilibrium systems
Steven J Large, David A Sivak
Quantifying the flow of energy within and through fluctuating nanoscale systems poses a significant challenge to understanding microscopic biological machines. A common approach in…
Free-energy transduction within autonomous systems
Steven J Large, Jannik Ehrich, David A Sivak
The excess work required to drive a stochastic system out of thermodynamic equilibrium through a time-dependent external perturbation is directly related to the amount of entropy p…
Optimal discrete control: minimizing dissipation in discretely driven nonequilibrium systems
Steven J. Large, David A. Sivak
Microscopic machines utilize free energy to create and maintain out-of-equilibrium organization in virtually all living things. Often this takes the form of converting the free ene…
Stochastic control in microscopic nonequilibrium systems
Steven J. Large, Raphaël Chetrite, David A. Sivak
Quantifying energy flows at nanometer scales promises to guide future research in a variety of disciplines, from microscopic control and manipulation, to autonomously operating mol…
