Maximizing power and velocity of an information engine

Tushar K. Saha, Joseph N. E. Lucero, Jannik Ehrich +2

Information-driven engines that rectify thermal fluctuations are a modern realization of the Maxwell-demon thought experiment. We introduce a simple design based on a heavy colloid…

Skewed Thermodynamic Geometry and Optimal Free Energy Estimation

Steven Blaber, David A. Sivak

Free energy differences are a central quantity of interest in physics, chemistry, and biology. We develop design principles that improve the precision and accuracy of free energy e…

Hidden energy flows in strongly coupled nonequilibrium systems

Steven J Large, David A Sivak

Quantifying the flow of energy within and through fluctuating nanoscale systems poses a significant challenge to understanding microscopic biological machines. A common approach in…

Free-energy transduction within autonomous systems

Steven J Large, Jannik Ehrich, David A Sivak

The excess work required to drive a stochastic system out of thermodynamic equilibrium through a time-dependent external perturbation is directly related to the amount of entropy p…

Apparent superballistic dynamics in one-dimensional random walks with biased detachment

Chapin S. Korosec, David A. Sivak, Nancy R. Forde

The mean-squared displacement (MSD) is an averaged quantity widely used to assess anomalous diffusion. In many cases, such as molecular motors with finite processivity, dynamics of…

Nonequilibrium Energy Transduction in Stochastic Strongly Coupled Rotary Motors

Emma Lathouwers, Joseph N. E. Lucero, David A. Sivak

Living systems at the molecular scale are composed of many constituents with strong and heterogeneous interactions, operating far from equilibrium, and subject to strong fluctuatio…
