Equilibrium trajectories quantify second order violation of fluctuation dissipation theorem without need of a model

Juliana Caspers, Karthika Krishna Kumar, Clemens Bechinger +1

Quantifying and characterizing fluctuations far away from equilibrium is a challenging task. We discuss and experimentally confirm a series expansion for a driven classical system,…

Average negative heat in a non-Markovian bath

Felix Ginot, Clemens Bechinger

We experimentally study the motion of a colloidal particle, translated back and forth within a viscoelastic, i.e. non-Markovian bath. The particle starts in equilibrium before the…

Universal symmetry of optimal control at the microscale

Sarah A. M. Loos, Samuel Monter, Felix Ginot +1

Optimizing the energy efficiency of driving processes provides valuable insights into the underlying physics and is of crucial importance for numerous applications, from biological…

Memory-induced alignment of colloidal dumbbells

Karthika Krishna Kumar, Juliana Caspers, Félix Ginot +2

When a colloidal probe is forced through a viscoelastic fluid which is characterized by a long stress-relaxation time, the fluid is excited out of equilibrium. This is leading to a…

Environmental effects on emergent strategy in micro-scale multi-agent reinforcement learning

Samuel Tovey, David Zimmer, Christoph Lohrmann +5

Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) is a promising candidate for realizing efficient control of microscopic particles, of which micro-robots are a subset. However, the micros…

Memory induced Magnus effect

Xin Cao, Debankur Das, Niklas Windbacher +3

Spinning objects which move through air or liquids experience a Magnus force. This effect is commonly exploited in ball sports but also of considerable importance for applications…
