Hierarchical Reconstruction of Time-arrow from Multi-time Correlations
Yijia Cheng, Ruicheng Bao, Zhonghuai Hou
The entropy production rate (EPR), a key measure of thermodynamic irreversibility in thermodynamics of small systems, is difficult to determine directly in experiments, motivating…
Unraveling on Kinesin Acceleration in Intracellular Environments: A Theory for Active Bath
Mengkai Feng, Zhonghuai Hou
Single molecular motor kinesin harnesses thermal and non-thermal fluctuations to transport various cargoes along microtubules, converting chemical energy to directed movements. To…
Accelerating Quantum Relaxation via Temporary Reset: A Mpemba-Inspired Approach
Ruicheng Bao, Zhonghuai Hou
Slow relaxation processes spanning widely separated timescales pose fundamental challenges for probing steady-state properties and engineering functional quantum systems, such as q…
Dynamic and Thermodynamic Origins of Motility-Induced Phase Separation
Jie Su, Zhiyu Cao, Jin Wang +2
Active matter systems are inherently out of equilibrium and break the detailed balance (DB) at the microscopic scale, exhibiting vital collective phenomena such as motility-induced…
Improving estimation of entropy production rate for run-and-tumble particle systems by high-order thermodynamic uncertainty relation
Ruicheng Bao, Zhonghuai Hou
Entropy production plays an important role in the regulation and stability of active matter systems, and its rate quantifies the nonequilibrium nature of these systems. However, en…
Fast Functionalization with High Performance in the Autonomous Information Engine
Zhiyu Cao, Ruicheng Bao, Jiming Zheng +1
Mandal and Jarzynski have proposed a fully autonomous information heat engine, consisting of a demon, a mass and a memory register interacting with a thermal reservoir. This device…
