Optimal protocols for minimal work processes in underdamped stochastic thermodynamics
Alex Gomez-Marin, Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
For systems in an externally controllable time-dependent potential, the optimal protocol minimizes the mean work spent in a finite-time transition between two given equilibrium sta…
Characterizing Potentials by a Generalized Boltzmann Factor
V. Blickle, T. Speck, U. Seifert +1
Based on the concept of a nonequilibrium steady state, we present a novel method to experimentally determine energy landscapes acting on colloidal systems. By measuring the station…
The Einstein relation generalized to non-equilibrium
V. Blickle, T. Speck, C. Lutz +2
The Einstein relation connecting the diffusion constant and the mobility is violated beyond the linear response regime. For a colloidal particle driven along a periodic potential i…
Integral fluctuation theorem for the housekeeping heat
T. Speck, U. Seifert
The housekeeping heat $Q\hk$ is the dissipated heat necessary to maintain the violation of detailed balance in nonequilibrium steady states. By analyzing the evolution of its proba…
Distribution of work in isothermal non-equilibrium processes
Thomas Speck, Udo Seifert
Diffusive motion in an externally driven potential is considered. It is shown that the distribution of work required to drive the system from an initial equilibrium state to anothe…
