Local Detailed Balance in the Lorenz Model: Replaces the Butterfly with Frenetic Bursting

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

The Lorenz system is the canonical low-order model of convective instability, yet its dissipative and driving terms have never been checked against, nor constructed from, an explic…

Entropy and Frenesy: the arrow and the bustle of time

Christian Maes

Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics is the science of time as it manifests itself in the transient or steady entropy producing dynamical condition of many-body systems. Beyond the…

Critical behavior of the driven Curie-Weiss model

Ruohan Xu, Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

We complete the phase diagram of the macroscopic Curie-Weiss magnet in a time-periodic external field, as a function of temperature and driving parameters. There is a regime (large…

Bringing calorimetry (back) to life

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes, Édgar Roldán

Micro-calorimetry offers significant potential as a quantitative method for studying the structure and function of biological systems, for instance, by probing the excess heat rele…

Negative specific heats: where Clausius and Boltzmann entropies separate

Lander Bogers, Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

Steady nonequilibria dissipate energy and, when changing external parameters, an extra or excess heat accompanies the relaxation to the new nonequilibrium condition. For nonequilib…

Affine relationships between steady currents

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes, Karel Netočný

Perturbing transition rates in a steady nonequilibrium system, e.g. modelled by a Markov jump process, causes a change in the local currents. Their susceptibility is usually expres…

The induced friction on a probe moving in a nonequilibrium medium

Ji-Hui Pei, Christian Maes

Using a powerful combination of projection-operator method and path-space response theory, we derive the fluctuation dynamics of a slow inertial probe coupled to a steady nonequili…

Acceleration from a clustering environment

Roi Holtzman, Christian Maes

We study the effects of correlations in a random environment on a random walker. The dependence of its asymptotic speed on the correlations is a nonperturbative effect as it is not…

Local detailed balance for active particle models

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

Starting from a Huxley-type model for an agitated vibrational mode, we propose an embedding of standard active particle models in terms of two-temperature processes. One temperatur…

Zig-zag dynamics in a Stern-Gerlach spin measurement

Simon Krekels, Christian Maes, Kasper Meerts +1

The one-century-old Stern-Gerlach setup is paradigmatic for a quantum measurement. We visualize the electron trajectories following the Bohmian zig-zag dynamics. This dynamics was…

On the Poisson equation for nonreversible Markov jump processes

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes, Karel Netočný

We study the solution of the Poisson equation where is the backward generator of an irreducible (finite) Markov jump process and is a given centered state fu…

The Sun within: active processes from two-temperature models

Faezeh Khodabandehlou, Christian Maes

We propose an embedding of standard active particle models in terms of two-temperature processes. One temperature refers to an ambient thermal bath, and the other temperature effec…

Frenetic steering: nonequilibrium-enabled navigation

Bram Lefebvre, Christian Maes

We explain the steering of slow degrees of freedom by coupling them to driven components for which the time-symmetric reactivities are manipulated. We present the strategy and main…
