Information-driven stepping in dimeric transport motors
Antonio Patrón Castro, David A. Sivak
Dimeric transport motors are nanoscale protein complexes that move along cytoskeletal filaments. Here we introduce a theoretical model for their stepping dynamics, in which the two…

Hybrid quantum-classical systems: statistics, entropy, microcanonical ensemble and its connection to the canonical ensemble
J. L. Alonso, C. Bouthelier-Madre, A. Castro +2
We describe in detail a mathematical framework in which statistical ensembles of hybrid classical-quantum systems can be properly described. We show how a maximum entropy principle…

Harnessing higher-dimensional fluctuations in an information engine
Antonio Patrón Castro, John Bechhoefer, David A. Sivak
We study the optimal performance of an information engine consisting of an overdamped Brownian bead confined in a controllable, -dimensional harmonic trap and additionally subje…
