A particle-resolved rheological study of chirality transfer and odd transport

Rémi Goerlich, Alexander P. Antonov, Kristian Stølevik Olsen +4

Chirality, or the breaking of mirror symmetry, appears across all scales in nature, from molecular conformations to the dynamics of bacterial collectives. Environments composed of…

Self-propulsion protocols for swift non-equilibrium state transitions and enhanced cooling in active systems

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen

A control framework is proposed for inducing non-equilibrium state transitions in confined active matter, where the statistics of self-propulsion serve as the only control paramete…

Information-fluctuation inequalities for collective response

Kristian Stølevik Olsen

Hidden stochastic effects acting uniformly on a many-particle system can generate strong correlations and macroscopic relative fluctuations that persist at large system sizes, even…

Information bound on navigation speed in smart active matter

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Mitsusuke Tarama, Hartmut Löwen

Intelligent behavior in life-like systems often arises from the ability to gather, process, and act on information. While active matter provides a framework for studying life-like…

Optimal area exploration by resetting active particles

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen, Lorenzo Caprini

Identifying optimal strategies for efficient spatial exploration is crucial, both for animals seeking food and for robotic search processes, where maximizing the covered area is a…

Time-energy tradeoff in stochastic resetting using optimal control

Rémi Goerlich, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen +1

Stochastic resetting is a driving mechanism that is known to minimize the first passage time to reach a target, at the cost of energy expenditure. The choice of the physical implem…

Harnessing non-equilibrium forces to optimize work extraction

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Rémi Goerlich, Yael Roichman +1

While optimal control theory offers effective strategies for minimizing energetic costs in noisy microscopic systems over finite durations, a significant opportunity lies in exploi…

Thermodynamic Cost of Recurrent Erasure

Deepak Gupta, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Supriya Krishnamurthy

Recent experiments have implemented resetting by means of a time-varying external harmonic trap whereby the trap stiffness is changed from an initial to a final value in finite-tim…

Shear-Driven Diffusion with Stochastic Resetting

Iman Abdoli, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen

External flows, such as shear flow, add directional biases to particle motion, introducing anisotropic behavior into the system. Here, we explore the non-equilibrium dynamics that…

Dynamics of switching processes: general results and applications to intermittent active motion

Ion Santra, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Deepak Gupta

Systems switching between different dynamical phases is an ubiquitous phenomenon. The general understanding of such a process is limited. To this end, we present a general expressi…

Anisotropic Brownian particles under resetting

Subhasish Chaki, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen

We study analytically the dynamics of an anisotropic particle subjected to different stochastic resetting schemes in two dimensions. The Brownian motion of shape-asymmetric particl…

Partial stochastic resetting with refractory periods

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen

The effect of refractory periods in partial resetting processes is studied. Under Poissonian partial resets, a state variable jumps to a value closer to the origin by a fixed fract…

Optimal diffusion of chiral active particles with strategic reorientations

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen

We investigate the competing effects of simultaneous presence of chirality and generalised tumbles in the dynamics of an active Brownian particle. Chiral active particles perform c…

Dynamics of inertial particles under velocity resetting

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Hartmut Löwen

We investigate stochastic resetting in coupled systems involving two degrees of freedom, where only one variable is reset. The resetting variable, which we think of as hidden, indi…

Thermodynamic work of partial resetting

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Deepak Gupta

Partial resetting, whereby a state variable is reset at random times to a value , , generalizes conventional resetting by introducing the resetting…

Steady-state moments under resetting to a distribution

Kristian Stølevik Olsen

The non-equilibrium steady states emerging from stochastic resetting to a distribution is studied. We show that for a range of processes, the steady-state moments can be expressed…

Thermodynamic cost of finite-time stochastic resetting

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Deepak Gupta, Francesco Mori +1

Recent experiments have implemented resetting by means of an external trap, whereby a system relaxes to the minimum of the trap and is reset in a finite time. In this work, we set…

Entropy production of resetting processes

Francesco Mori, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Supriya Krishnamurthy

Stochastic systems that undergo random restarts to their initial state have been widely investigated in recent years, both theoretically and in experiments. Oftentimes, however, re…

Trapping of active Brownian and run-and-tumble particles: a first-passage time approach

Emily Qing Zang Moen, Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Jonas Rønning +1

We use a first-passage time approach to study the statistics of the trapping times induced by persistent motion of active particles colliding with flat boundaries. The angular firs…

Collective states of active matter with stochastic reversals: emergent chiral states and spontaneous current switching

Kristian Stølevik Olsen, Luiza Angheluta, Eirik Grude Flekkøy

We study collective dynamical behavior of active particles with topological interactions and directional reversals. Surprising phenomena are shown to emerge as the interaction rela…
