The cost of speed: Time-optimal thermal control of trapped Brownian particles
Miguel Ibanez, Antonio Patron-Castro, Antonio Lasanta +3
A thermal analogue of the classical brachistochrone problem, which minimizes the connection time between two equilibrium states of harmonically confined Brownian particles, has rec…
How target distributions shape optimal stochastic resetting
Gregorio García-Valladares, Antonio Prados, Alessandro Manacorda +1
We investigate the search of a target with a given spatial distribution in a finite one-dimensional domain. The searcher follows Brownian dynamics and is always reset to its initia…
Maximum power Stirling-like heat engine with a harmonically confined Brownian particle
Irene Prieto-Rodríguez, Antonio Prados, Carlos A. Plata
Heat engines transform thermal energy into useful work, operating in a cyclic manner. For centuries, they have played a key role in industrial and technological development. Histor…
Optimal control of levitated nanoparticles through finite-stiffness confinement
Marco Baldovin, Ines Ben Yedder, Carlos A. Plata +4
Optimal control of levitated nanoparticles subjected to thermal fluctuations is a challenging problem, both theoretically and experimentally. In this Letter, we compute the time-de…
Minimum time connection between non-equilibrium steady states: the Brownian gyrator
A. Patrón, C. A. Plata, A. Prados
We study the problem of minimising the connection time between non-equilibrium steady states of the Brownian Gyrator. This is a paradigmatic model in non-equilibrium statistical me…
Stochastic resetting with refractory periods: pathway formulation and exact results
Gregorio García-Valladares, Deepak Gupta, Antonio Prados +1
We look into the problem of stochastic resetting with refractory periods. The model dynamics comprises diffusive and motionless phases. The diffusive phase ends at random time inst…
Non-equilibrium memory effects: granular fluids and beyond
A Patrón, B. Sánchez-Rey, C. A. Plata +1
In this perspective paper, we look into memory effects in out-of-equilibrium systems. To be concrete, we exemplify memory effects with the paradigmatic case of granular fluids, alt…
Non-equilibrium attractor for non-linear stochastic dynamics
A. Patrón, B. Sánchez-Rey, E. Trizac +1
We study the dynamical behaviour of mesoscopic systems in contact with a thermal bath, described either via a non-linear Langevin equation at the trajectory level -- or the corresp…
Global stability and -theorem in lattice models with non-conservative interactions
C. A. Plata, A. Prados
In kinetic theory, a system is usually described by its one-particle distribution function , such that $f(\mathbf{r},\mathbf{v},t)d\mathbf{r} d\mathbf{v…
