Pareto-optimal control strategies in intrinsically nonequilibrium systems

Gustavo A. L. Forão, Carlos E. Fiore, Jonas Berx

Thermodynamic control is typically formulated as the optimisation of a single objective, yet competing costs rarely admit a common optimum, so single-objective control captures onl…

Cyclic Heat Engine with the Ising model: role of interactions and criticality

Gustavo A. L. Forão, Gustavo A. L. Forão, Arya Datta +2

Heat engines that convert thermal energy into work are a cornerstone of classical thermodynamics and remain an active area of contemporary research. Notable examples include micros…

Universal splitting of phase transitions and performance optimization in driven collective systems

Gustavo A. L. Forão, Jonas Berx, Tan Van Vu +1

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a hallmark of equilibrium systems, typically characterized by a single critical point separating ordered and disordered phases. Recently, a novel c…

Characterization and optimization of heat engines: Pareto-optimal fronts and universal features

Gustavo A. L. Forão, Jonas Berx, Carlos E. Fiore

Characterizing and optimizing nanoscopic heat engines require an appropriate understanding of the interplay between power, efficiency, entropy production and fluctuations. Despite…

Inference of entropy production for periodically driven systems

Pedro E. Harunari, Carlos E. Fiore, Andre C. Barato

The problem of estimating entropy production from incomplete information in stochastic thermodynamics is essential for theory and experiments. Whereas a considerable amount of work…

Splitting of nonequilibrium phase transitions in driven Ising models

Gustavo A. L. Forão, Fernando S. Filho, André P. Vieira +3

Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs in various equilibrium and nonequilibrium systems, where phase transitions are typically marked by a single critical point that separates order…
