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…
Geometry and universal scaling of Pareto-optimal signal compression
Jonas Berx
I investigate the generic problem of lossy compression of a fluctuating stochastic signal into a discrete representation through optimal thresholding. The signal modulates…
Optimising finite-time quantum information engines using Pareto bounds
Rasmus Hagman, Jonas Berx, Janine Splettstoesser +1
Information engines harness measurement and feedback to convert energy into useful work. In this study, we investigate the fundamental trade-offs between ergotropic output power, t…
Braided mixing in confined chiral active matter
Yue Wang, Jonas Berx
Efficient mixing of fluids is essential in many practical applications to achieve homogeneity. For microscopic systems, however, both diffusion and turbulence are ineffective metho…
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…
Interplay of Coil-Globule Transitions and Aggregation in Homopolymer Aqueous Solutions: Simulation and Topological Insights
Junichi Komatsu, Kenichiro Koga, Jonas Berx
We investigate the structural and topological properties of hydrophobic homopolymer chains in aqueous solutions using molecular dynamics simulations and circuit topology (CT) analy…
