Reinforcement Learning with thermal fluctuations at the nano-scale
Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis
Reinforcement Learning offers a framework to learn to choose actions in order to achieve some goal. However, at the nano-scale, thermal fluctuations hamper the learning process. We…
Temperature transitions and degeneracy in the control of small clusters with a macroscopic field
Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis
We present a numerical investigation of the control of few-particle fluctuating clusters with a macroscopic field. Our goal is to reach a given target cluster shape is minimum time…
Equilibrium return times of small fluctuating clusters and vacancies
Francesco Boccardo, Younes Benamara, Olivier Pierre-Louis
The expected return time of a fluctuating two-dimensional cluster or vacancy to a given configuration is studied in thermodynamic equilibrium. We define a family of bond-breaking m…
Controlling the shape of small clusters with and without macroscopic fields
Francesco Boccardo, Olivier Pierre-Louis
Despite major advances in the understanding of the formation and dynamics of nano-clusters in the past decades, theoretical bases for the control of their shape are still lacking.…
