A continuous-time persistent random walk model for flocking

Daniel Escaff, Raul Toral, Christian Van den Broeck +1

Random walkers characterized by random positions and random velocities lead to normal diffusion. A random walk was originally proposed by Einstein to model Brownian motion and to d…

Stochastic thermodynamics for a periodically driven single-particle pump

Alexandre Rosas, Christian Van den Broeck, Katja Lindenberg

We present the stochastic thermodynamic analysis of a time-periodic single particle pump, including explicit results for flux, thermodynamic force, entropy production, work, heat a…

Channel Noise Effects on Neural Synchronization

Brenton Maisel, Katja Lindenberg

Synchronization in neural networks is strongly tied to the implementation of cognitive processes, but abnormal neuronal synchronization has been linked to a number of brain disorde…

Stochastic thermodynamics for Ising chain and symmetric exclusion process

R. Toral, C. Van den Broeck, D. Escaff +1

We verify the finite time fluctuation theorem for a linear Ising chain at its ends in contact with heat reservoirs. Analytic results are derived for a chain consisting of only two…

Synchronization of coupled noisy oscillators: Coarse-graining from continuous to discrete phases

Daniel Escaff, Alexandre Rosas, Raul Toral +1

The theoretical description of synchronization phenomena often relies on coupled units of continuous time noisy Markov chains with a small number of states in each unit. It is freq…

Universality of efficiency at maximum power: Macroscopic manifestation of microscopic constraints

Bart Cleuren, Bob Rutten, Christian Van den Broeck

Universal properties of efficiency at maximum power are investigated in a general setting. In particular, it is demonstrated how successive symmetries placed upon the dynamics mani…
