Delta-Function Kicks are Optimal for Rapidly Driven Inertial Stochastic Systems
Steven Blaber
Optimal control helps guide our understanding of stochastic thermodynamics, leading to universal properties and geometric formulations. Among the initially surprising properties of…
Optimal Control in Stochastic Thermodynamics
Steven Blaber, David A. Sivak
We review recent progress in optimal control in stochastic thermodynamics. Theoretical advances provide in-depth insight into minimum-dissipation control with either full or limite…
Optimal control with a strong harmonic trap
Steven Blaber, David A. Sivak
Quadratic trapping potentials are widely used to experimentally probe biopolymers and molecular machines and drive transitions in steered molecular-dynamics simulations. Approximat…
Efficient two-dimensional control of barrier crossing
Steven Blaber, David A. Sivak
Driven barrier crossings are pervasive in optical-trapping experiments and steered molecular-dynamics simulations. Despite the high fidelity of control, the freedom in the choice o…
