Linear optimal protocol for physical constraints in weakly driven processes
Pierre Nazé
The minimization of irreversible work in weakly driven systems within linear response under physical constraints on the protocol derivative is studied. The problem reduces to a shi…
A self-consistent criterion for the range of validity of weakly driven processes
Pierre Nazé
One of the longstanding open questions in linear response theory concerns its true range of validity. Determining when the linear approximation can be trusted typically requires kn…
Minimal dissipation with viscoelastic baths in weakly driven processes
Pierre Nazé, Fabricio Q. Potiguar
We investigate the thermodynamics of overdamped systems weakly driven by time-dependent protocols while interacting with viscoelastic heat baths. Using a generalized Langevin equat…
Work probability distribution of weakly driven process in overdamped dynamics
Pierre Nazé
Analytical work probability distributions for open classical systems are scarce; they can only be calculated in a few examples. In this work, I present a new method to derive such…
Kibble-Zurek mechanism in driven underdamped Brownian motion
Pierre Nazé
Kibble-Zurek mechanism is widely known to appear in the transverse-field quantum Ising chain in the thermodynamic limit at zero temperature, having notorious characteristics, like…
