Destructive effect of fluctuations on the performance of a Brownian gyrator
Pascal Viot, Aykut Argun, Giovanni Volpe +3
The Brownian gyrator (BG) is often called a minimal model of a nano-engine performing a rotational motion, judging solely upon the fact that in non-equilibrium conditions its torqu…
Interaction-induced transition in quantum many-body detection probability
Archak Purkayastha, Alberto Imparato
With the advent of digital and analog quantum simulation experiments, it is now possible to experimentally simulate dynamics of quantum many-body lattice systems and make site-reso…
A thermodynamic approach to optimization in complex quantum systems
Alberto Imparato, Nicholas Chancellor, Gabriele De Chiara
We consider the problem of finding the energy minimum of a complex quantum Hamiltonian by employing a non-Markovian bath prepared in a low energy state. The energy minimization pro…
Out-of-equilibrium dynamics of two interacting optically-trapped particles
Victor S Dotsenko, Alberto Imparato, Pascal Viot +1
We present a theoretical analysis of a non-equilibrium dynamics in a model system consisting of two particles which move randomly on a plane. The two particles interact via a harmo…
Efficient excitation-transfer across fully connected networks via local-energy optimization
S. Sgroi, G. Zicari, A. Imparato +1
We study the excitation transfer across a fully connected quantum network whose sites energies can be artificially designed. Starting from a simplified model of a broadly-studied p…
Cooperative dynamics in two-component out-of-equilibrium systems: Molecular "spinning tops"
Victor S Dotsenko, Pascal Viot, Alberto Imparato +1
We study the two-dimensional Langevin dynamics of a two-component system, whose components are in contact with heat baths kept at different temperatures. Dynamics is constrained by…
