Can one identify non-equilibrium in a three-state system by analyzing two-state trajectories?
C. P. Amann, T. Schmiedl, U. Seifert
For a three-state Markov system in a stationary state, we discuss whether, on the basis of data obtained from effective two-state (or on-off) trajectories, it is possible to discri…
Optimal protocols for Hamiltonian and Schrödinger dynamics
Tim Schmiedl, Eckhard Dieterich, Peter-Simon Dieterich +1
For systems in an externally controllable time-dependent potential, the optimal protocol minimizes the mean work spent in a finite-time transition between given initial and final v…
Optimal potentials for temperature ratchets
Florian Berger, Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
In a spatially periodic temperature profile, directed transport of an overdamped Brownian particle can be induced along a periodic potential. With a load force applied to the parti…
Optimal protocols for minimal work processes in underdamped stochastic thermodynamics
Alex Gomez-Marin, Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
For systems in an externally controllable time-dependent potential, the optimal protocol minimizes the mean work spent in a finite-time transition between two given equilibrium sta…
Efficiency of molecular motors at maximum power
Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
Molecular motors transduce chemical energy obtained from hydrolizing ATP into mechanical work exerted against an external force. We calculate their efficiency at maximum power outp…
Efficiency at maximum power: An analytically solvable model for stochastic heat engines
Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
We study a class of cyclic Brownian heat engines in the framework of finite-time thermodynamics. For infinitely long cycle times, the engine works at the Carnot efficiency limit pr…
