Hamiltonian curl-forces in systems coupled to multiple thermal reservoirs

Omer Chor, Aljaž Godec, Oren Raz

We investigate the statistical mechanics of a system coupled to multiple heat reservoirs at different temperatures, a setting which typically sustains nontrivial circulation. By ap…

Thermodynamic Concentration Inequalities: Controlling Uncertainty in Finite-Time and Small-Sample Thermodynamic Inference

Rick Bebon, Aljaž Godec

We derive nonasymptotic upper bounds on the probability that a generalized current of a geometrically ergodic diffusion observed for any amount of time, or its sample mean over any…

Strong Mpemba Effect Through a Reentrant Phase Transition

Kristian Blom, Doron Benyamin, Uwe Thiele +2

We investigate temperature quenches across the reentrant phase transition of the antiferromagnetic Ising model in a magnetic field and show that it provides a natural mechanism for…

Thermal relaxation asymmetry persists under inertial effects

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

Relaxation phenomena far from thermal equilibrium feature a rich phenomenology, including the thermal relaxation asymmetry. The latter states that heating occurs faster than coolin…

Dynamic Models for Two Nonreciprocally Coupled Fields: A Microscopic Derivation for Zero, One, and Two Conservation Laws

Kristian Blom, Uwe Thiele, Aljaž Godec

We construct dynamic models governing two nonreciprocally coupled fields for several cases with zero, one, and two conservation laws. Starting from two microscopic nonreciprocally…

Towards Markov-State Holography

Xizhu Zhao, Dmitrii E. Makarov, Aljaž Godec

Experiments, in particular on biological systems, typically probe lower-dimensional observables which are projections of high-dimensional dynamics. In order to infer consistent mod…

Thermodynamic correlation inequalities for finite times and transients

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

Recently, a thermodynamic bound on correlation times was formulated in [A. Dechant, J. Garnier-Brun, S.-i. Sasa, Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 167101 (2023)], showing how the decay of corr…

Concentration of Empirical First-Passage Times

Rick Bebon, Aljaz Godec

First-passage properties are central to the kinetics of target-search processes. Theoretical approaches so far primarily focused on predicting first-passage statistics for a given…

Hallmarks of Deception in Asset-Exchange Models

Kristian Blom, Dmitrii E. Makarov, Aljaž Godec

We investigate the transient and steady-state dynamics of the Bennati-Dragulescu-Yakovenko money game in the presence of probabilistic cheaters, who can misrepresent their financia…

Multiple Pareto-optimal solutions of the dissipation-adaptation trade-off

Jorge Tabanera-Bravo, Aljaž Godec

Adaptation refers to the ability to recover and maintain ``normal'' function upon perturbations of internal or external conditions and is essential for sustaining life. Biological…

Local Order Controls the Onset of Oscillations in the Nonreciprocal Ising Model

Kristian Blom, Uwe Thiele, Aljaž Godec

We elucidate the generic bifurcation behavior of local and global order in the nonreciprocal Ising model evolving under Glauber dynamics. We show that a critical magnitude of neare…

Model-free inference of memory in conformational dynamics of a multi-domain protein

Leonie Vollmar, Rick Bebon, Julia Schimpf +5

Single-molecule experiments provide insight into the motion (conformational dynamics) of individual protein molecules. Usually, a well-defined but coarse-grained intramolecular coo…

Thermodynamic bounds on generalized transport: From single-molecule to bulk observables

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

We prove that the transport of any differentiable scalar observable in -dimensional non-equilibrium systems is bounded from above by the total entropy production scaled by the a…

On the emergence of memory in equilibrium versus non-equilibrium systems

Xizhu Zhao, David Hartich, Aljaž Godec

Experiments often probe observables that correspond to low-dimensional projections of highdimensional dynamics. In such situations distinct microscopic configurations become lumped…

Milestoning estimators of dissipation in systems observed at a coarse resolution: When ignorance is truly bliss

Kristian Blom, Kevin Song, Etienne Vouga +2

Many non-equilibrium, active processes are observed at a coarse-grained level, where different microscopic configurations are projected onto the same observable state. Such "lumped…

Asymmetric Thermal Relaxation in Driven Systems: Rotations go Opposite Ways

Cai Dieball, Gerrit Wellecke, Aljaž Godec

It was predicted and recently experimentally confirmed that systems with microscopically reversible dynamics in locally quadratic potentials warm up faster than they cool down. Thi…

Controlling Uncertainty of Empirical First-Passage Times in the Small-Sample Regime

Rick Bebon, Aljaž Godec

We derive general bounds on the probability that the empirical first-passage time of a reversible ergodic Markov process inferred from a samp…

On correlations and fluctuations of time-averaged densities and currents with general time-dependence

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

We present technical results required for the description and understanding of correlations and fluctuations of the empirical density and current as well as diverse time-integrated…

Direct Route to Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations and Their Saturation

Cai Dieball, Aljaž Godec

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) bound the dissipation in non-equilibrium systems from below by fluctuations of an observed current. Contrasting the elaborate techniques…

Comment on "Inferring broken detailed balance in the absence of observable currents"

David Hartich, Aljaž Godec

We present a simple biophysical example that invalidates the main conclusion of "Nat. Commun. 10, 3542 (2019)". Moreover, we explain that systems with one or more hidden states bet…

Violation of Local Detailed Balance Despite a Clear Time-Scale Separation

David Hartich, Aljaž Godec

Integrating out fast degrees of freedom is known to yield, to a good approximation, memory-less, i.e. Markovian, dynamics. In the presence of such a time-scale separation local det…

Scattering fingerprints of two-state dynamics

Cai Dieball, Diego Krapf, Matthias Weiss +1

Particle transport in complex environments such as the interior of living cells is often (transiently) non-Fickian or anomalous, that is, it deviates from the laws of Brownian moti…
