First passage time distribution in underdamped harmonic oscillators
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +2
We derive the distribution of the first passage time for the position of an underdamped harmonic oscillator to overcome a threshold . As the distribution…
First passage time for an underdamped harmonic oscillator and application to the power of an information engine
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +2
The distribution of the first passage time for the position to overcome a threshold is calculated in an underdamped harmonic oscillator. The proof combines sever…
Information engine fueled by first-passage times
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Alberto Imparato +3
Using a mechanical cantilever submitted to electrostatic feedback control, we investigate the thermodynamic properties of an information engine that extracts work from thermal fluc…
Inertial effects in discrete sampling information engines
Aubin Archambault, Caroline Crauste-Thibierge, Sergio Ciliberto +1
We describe an experiment on an underdamped mechanical oscillator used as an information engine. The system is equivalent to an inertial Brownian particle confined in a harmonic po…
