Thermal relaxation asymmetry persists under inertial effects

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

Relaxation phenomena far from thermal equilibrium feature a rich phenomenology, including the thermal relaxation asymmetry. The latter states that heating occurs faster than coolin…

Permutation-Invariant Spectral Learning via Dyson Diffusion

Tassilo Schwarz, Cai Dieball, Constantin Kogler +4

Diffusion models are central to generative modeling and have been adapted to graphs by diffusing adjacency matrix representations. The challenge of having up to such represent…

Stochastic Calculus for Pathwise Observables of Markov-Jump Processes: Unification of Diffusion and Jump Dynamics

Lars Torbjørn Stutzer, Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

Path-wise observables--functionals of stochastic trajectories--are at the heart of time-average statistical mechanics and are central to thermodynamic inequalities such as uncertai…

Thermodynamic correlation inequalities for finite times and transients

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

Recently, a thermodynamic bound on correlation times was formulated in [A. Dechant, J. Garnier-Brun, S.-i. Sasa, Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 167101 (2023)], showing how the decay of corr…

Precisely controlled colloids: A playground for path-wise non-equilibrium physics

Cai Dieball, Yasamin Mohebi Satalsari, Angel B. Zuccolotto-Bernezb +3

We investigate path-wise observables in experiments on driven colloids in a periodic light field to dissect selected intricate transport features, kinetics, and transition-path tim…

Thermodynamic bounds on generalized transport: From single-molecule to bulk observables

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

We prove that the transport of any differentiable scalar observable in -dimensional non-equilibrium systems is bounded from above by the total entropy production scaled by the a…
