Energy Transport Structure and Fluctuation Theorem in Nonreciprocal Harmonic Chains

Ziwei Cheng, Geng Li, Zhanchun Tu

Nonreciprocal interactions fundamentally alter energy transport by breaking the symmetry between forward and backward responses. Here, we uncover an exact transport structure for a…

Engineering Ratchet-Based Particle Separation via Shortcuts to Isothermality

Xiu-Hua Zhao, Z. C. Tu, Yu-Han Ma

Microscopic particle separation plays vital role in various scientific and industrial domains. In this Letter, we propose a universal non-equilibrium thermodynamic approach, employ…

Escape rate of an active Brownian particle in a rough potential

Yating Wang, Z. C. Tu

We discuss escape problem with the consideration of both the activity of particles and the roughness of potentials. we derive analytic expressions for the escape rate of a Brownian…

Microscopic low-dissipation heat engine via shortcuts to adiabaticity and shortcuts to isothermality

Xiu-Hua Zhao, Zheng-Nan Gong, Z. C. Tu

We construct a microscopic model of low-dissipation engines by driving a Brownian particle in a time-dependent harmonic potential. Shortcuts to adiabaticity and shortcuts to isothe…

Equilibrium free energy differences from a linear nonequilibrium equality

Geng Li, Z. C. Tu

Extracting equilibrium information from nonequilibrium measurements is a challenge task of great importance in understanding the thermodynamic properties of physical, chemical, and…

A single measurement scheme for quantum work statistics based on coherent or squeezing state

Bao-Ming Xu, Jian Zou, Zhan-Chun Tu

In order to investigate the role of initial quantum coherence in work probability distribution, it is necessary to explicitly consider a concrete measurement apparatus to record wo…

Shortcuts to isothermality and nonequilibrium work relations

Geng Li, H. T. Quan, Z. C. Tu

In conventional thermodynamics, it is widely acknowledged that the realization of an isothermal process for a system requires a quasi-static controlling protocol. Here we propose a…

General neck condition for the limit shape of budding vesicles

Pan Yang, Qiang Du, Z. C. Tu

The shape equation and linking conditions for a vesicle with two-phase domains are derived. We refine the conjecture on the general neck condition for the limit shape of a budding…

Stochastic heat engine with the consideration of inertial effects and shortcuts to adiabaticity

Z. C. Tu

When a Brownian particle in contact with a heat bath at a constant temperature is controlled by a time-dependent harmonic potential, its distribution function can be rigorously der…
