A Universal Control Budget for First-Passage Kinetics

Shiling Liang, Ruicheng Bao

The first-passage time is the natural observable of reaction completion, yet how its mean responds to a rate change has lacked a general constraint. We show that the logarithmic se…

Exact First-Passage Time Response Theory from Steady-State Response

Ruicheng Bao, Shiling Liang

The mean first-passage time (MFPT) provides a universal temporal measure of transport, reaction, search, and switching processes in physical, chemical, and biological systems. Unde…

Entanglement Mpemba Effect

Ruicheng Bao, Yue Liu

Generating entanglement rapidly and reliably is essential for quantum information processing, communication, and metrology. Dissipative preparation is attractive because engineered…

Extreme First-Passage Time of Many Interacting Particles

Ruicheng Bao

Extreme first-passage events are broadly relevant to biological, chemical, and physical processes in which the first successful arrival determines the outcome. Existing theories ar…

Optimal Finite-Time Control of Nonreciprocal Brownian Dimers: Thermodynamic Anomaly and Multiple Transitions

Ruicheng Bao

We solve exactly a finite-time thermodynamic optimal control problem for two nonreciprocally interacting Brownian particles translated by two harmonic traps. The controller manipul…

Typical Mixing and Rare-State Bottlenecks in Open Quantum Systems

Caisheng Cheng, Ruicheng Bao

Mixing in open quantum systems is often summarized by a single worst-case time, even though that benchmark can be set by exponentially rare initial states. We show that for broad u…

Physically natural metric-measure Lindbladian ensembles and their learning hardness

Caisheng Cheng, Ruicheng Bao

In open quantum systems, a basic question at the interface of quantum information, statistical physics, and many-body dynamics is how well can one infer the structure of noise and…

Initial-State Typicality in Quantum Relaxation

Ruicheng Bao

Relaxation in open quantum systems is fundamental to quantum science and technologies. Yet, the influence of the initial state on relaxation remains a central, largely unanswered q…

Random Coarse-Graining with Applications to Measuring Irreversibility

Ruicheng Bao, Naruo Ohga, Sosuke Ito

Thermodynamic irreversibility is a fundamental concept in statistical physics, yet its experimental measurement remains challenging, especially for complex systems. At the same tim…

Characteristic oscillations in frequency-resolved heat dissipation of linear time-delayed Langevin systems: Approach from the violation of the fluctuation-response relation

Xin Wang, Ruicheng Bao, Naruo Ohga

Time-delayed effects are widely present in nature, often accompanied by distinctive nonequilibrium features, such as negative apparent heat dissipation. To elucidate detailed struc…

Nonlinear Response Identities and Bounds for Nonequilibrium Steady States

Ruicheng Bao, Shiling Liang

Understanding how systems respond to external perturbations is fundamental to statistical physics. For systems far from equilibrium, a general framework for response remains elusiv…
