Optimal work of Brownian motion in a harmonic time-dependent stiffness potential. Effect of the initial position
Pedro J. Colmenares, Oscar Paredes-Altuve
The system consists of a Brownian particle immersed in a heat bath trapped in optical tweezers with a time-dependent strength acting as an external protocol. In [Phys. Rev. Letts.,…

Extracting work from a single reservoir in the non-Markovian underdamped regime
Oscar Paredes-Altuve, Ernesto Medina, Pedro J. Colmenares
We derive optimal-work finite time protocols for a colloidal particle in a Gaussian well in the general non-Markovian underdamped regime in contact with a single reservoir. Optimal…
