Statistics of Thermal Avalanches in Driven Amorphous Systems

Zhiyu Cao, Peter G. Wolynes

Within the framework of the random first-order transition theory of glasses, we discuss the statistics of thermal avalanches, the large scale rearrangements in driven amorphous sys…

Motorized Chromosome Models of Mitosis

Zhiyu Cao, Chaoqun Du, Zhonghuai Hou +1

During mitosis, near-spherical chromosomes reconfigure into rod-like structures to ensure their accurate segregation to daughter cells. We explore here, the interplay between the n…

Universal trade-off between irreversibility and intrinsic timescale in thermal relaxation with applications to thermodynamic inference

Ruicheng Bao, Chaoqun Du, Zhiyu Cao +1

We establish a general lower bound for the entropy production rate (EPR) based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence and the Logarithmic-Sobolev constant that characterizes the time-s…

Dynamic and Thermodynamic Origins of Motility-Induced Phase Separation

Jie Su, Zhiyu Cao, Jin Wang +2

Active matter systems are inherently out of equilibrium and break the detailed balance (DB) at the microscopic scale, exhibiting vital collective phenomena such as motility-induced…

Designing circle Swimmers: Principles and strategies

Zhiyu Cao, Huijun Jiang, Zhonghuai Hou

Various microswimmers move along circles rather than straight lines due to their swimming mechanisms, body shapes or hydrodynamic effects. Here, we adopt the concepts of stochastic…

Effective Entropy Production and Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation of Active Brownian Particles

Zhiyu Cao, Jie Su, Huijun Jiang +1

Understanding stochastic thermodynamics of active Brownian particles (ABPs) system has been an important topic in very recent years. In this article we study a general model of act…
