Strengthened second law for periodic processes
Jake Schaefer, Ben Ansbacher, Jan Korbel +1
Many physical systems evolve under periodic driving: the same control protocol is applied again and again, even though the state of the system itself need not return to where it st…

Finite relaxation protocols with minimal dissipation
Ben Ansbacher, Harrison Hartle, Abhishek Yadav +2
Work extraction from nonequilibrium systems is a major challenge across biological, chemical, physical, and engineering systems. Idealized protocols generally require a quasistatic…

Mapping gene expression dynamics to developmental phenotypes with information entropy analysis
Ben Ansbacher, Malachy Guzman, Jordi Garcia-Ojalvo +1
The development of multicellular organisms entails a deep connection between time-dependent biochemical processes taking place at the subcellular level, and the resulting macroscop…
