Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work
Christopher Jarzynski, Sebastian Deffner, Saar Rahav
Classical fluctuation theorems for work have been obtained theoretically, and verified experimentally, within a non-autonomous framework in which work is performed on a system of i…
Piston-Like Information Engine I: Universal Features in Equilibrium
Rémi Goerlich, Gilad Pollack, Eli Flaxer +2
The ability to measure the stochastic degrees of freedom of a thermal system enables the extraction of energy from an equilibrium heat bath. This is the underlying principle of Max…
Experimental Realizations of Information Engines: Beyond Proof of Concept
Rémi Goerlich, Laura Hoek, Omer Chor +2
Gathering information about a system enables greater control over it. This principle lies at the core of information engines, which use measurement-based feedback to rectify therma…
Acceleration of enzymatic reactions due to nearby inactive binding sites
Hila Katznelson, Saar Rahav
Many biological molecular motors and machines are driven by chemical reactions that occur in specific catalytic sites. We study whether the arrival of molecules to such an active s…
