QMaxCal: Path-Space Regularization for Open Quantum Control via Girsanov's Theorem

Merijn Moody, Zier Mensch, Miranda C. N. Cheng +2

Reliable quantum control in the presence of decoherence requires policies that combat the effect of environmental noise on the controlled dynamics. Open quantum systems under conti…

General perturbative framework for kinetics of rare transitions in 1-dimensional active particle systems

Vito Seinen, Peter G. Bolhuis, Daan Crommelin +2

We present a theoretical framework that enables investigating rare transitions in a general model of an active particle in an external potential, with the thermal Active Ornstein-U…

Extended Wertheim theory predicts the anomalous chain length distributions of divalent patchy particles under extreme confinement

H. J. Jonas, P. Schall, P. G. Bolhuis

Colloidal patchy particles with divalent attractive interaction can self-assemble into linear polymer chains. Their equilibrium properties in 2D and 3D are well described by Werthe…

Tunable long range forces mediated by self-propelled colloidal hard spheres

Ran Ni, Martien A. Cohen Stuart, Peter G. Bolhuis

Using Brownian dynamics simulations, we systematically study the effective interaction between two parallel hard walls in a 2D suspension of self-propelled (active) colloidal hard…

Crystallizing hard-sphere glasses by doping with active particles

Ran Ni, Martien A. Cohen Stuart, Marjolein Dijkstra +1

Crystallization and vitrification are two different routes to form a solid. Normally these two processes suppress each other, with the glass transition preventing crystallization a…

Polymer induced depletion potentials in polymer-colloid mixtures

A. A. Louis, P. G. Bolhuis, E. J. Meijer +1

The depletion interactions between two colloidal plates or between two colloidal spheres, induced by interacting polymers in a good solvent, are calculated theoretically and by com…

Density profiles and surface tensions of polymers near colloidal surfaces

A. A. Louis, P. G. Bolhuis, E. J. Meijer +1

The surface tension of interacting polymers in a good solvent is calculated theoretically and by computer simulations for a planar wall geometry and for the insertion of a single c…

Accurate effective pair potentials for polymer solutions

P. G. Bolhuis, A. A. Louis, J. P. Hansen +1

Dilute or semi-dilute solutions of non-intersecting self-avoiding walk (SAW) polymer chains are mapped onto a fluid of ``soft'' particles interacting via an effective pair potentia…

Can Polymer Coils be modeled as "Soft Colloids"?

A. A. Louis, P. G. Bolhuis, J. P. Hansen +1

We map dilute or semi-dilute solutions of non-intersecting polymer chains onto a fluid of ``soft'' particles interacting via a concentration dependent effective pair potential, by…
