When trajectory-based bounds fail: information thermodynamics under noisy feedback

Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Ludovic Bellon, Antonio Prados

Information engines exploit feedback to extract work from thermal fluctuations, extending the second law of thermodynamics through information-theoretic bounds. While several such…

Entropic balance with feedback control: information equalities and tight inequalities

Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Antonio Prados

We consider overdamped physical systems evolving under a feedback-controlled fluctuating potential and in contact with a thermal bath at temperature . A Markovian description of…

Ion mobility and segregation in seed surfaces subjected to cold plasma treatments

Alvaro Perea-Brenes, Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Francisco Yubero +5

Plasma treatment of seeds is an efficient procedure to accelerate germination, to improve initial stages of plant growth and for protection against pathogens infection. Most studie…

Markovian description of a wide class of feedback-controlled systems: Application to the feedback flashing ratchet

Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Antonio Prados

In feedback-controlled systems, an external agent -- the feedback controller -- measures the state of the system and modifies its subsequent dynamics depending on the outcome of th…

Information in feedback ratchets

Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Daniel Villarubia-Moreno, Antonio Prados +1

Feedback control uses the state information of the system to actuate on it. The information used implies an effective entropy reduction of the controlled system, potentially increa…

Optimal control of uniformly heated granular fluids in linear response

Natalia Ruiz-Pino, Antonio Prados

We present a detailed analytical investigation of the optimal control of uniformly heated granular gases in the linear regime. The intensity of the stochastic driving is therefore…
