Work as a function of protocol duration for the efficient erasure of an underdamped memory: isothermal to adiabatic transition
Nicolas Barros, Stephen Whitelam, Sergio Ciliberto +1
We use evolutionary reinforcement learning to determine efficient time-dependent erasure protocols for an underdamped cantilever moving in a double-well potential, an experimental…
Learning efficient erasure protocols for an underdamped memory
Nicolas Barros, Stephen Whitelam, Sergio Ciliberto +1
We apply evolutionary reinforcement learning to a simulation model in order to identify efficient time-dependent erasure protocols for a physical realization of a one-bit memory by…
Probabilistic work extraction on a classical oscillator beyond the second law
Nicolas Barros, Sergio Ciliberto, Ludovic Bellon
We demonstrate experimentally that, applying optimal protocols which drive the system between two equilibrium states characterized by a free energy difference , we can maximize…
Virtual potential created by a feedback loop: taming the feedback demon to explore stochastic thermodynamics of underdamped systems
Salambô Dago, Nicolas Barros, Jorge Pereda +2
Virtual potentials are an elegant, precise and flexible tool to manipulate small systems and explore fundamental questions in stochastic thermodynamics. In particular double-well p…
