Thermodynamics of interacting systems: the role of the topology and collective effects
Iago N. Mamede, Karel Proesmans, Carlos E. Fiore
We will study a class of system composed of interacting unicyclic machines placed in contact with a hot and cold thermal baths subjected to a non-conservative driving worksource. D…
Active matter under control: Insights from response theory
Luke K. Davis, Karel Proesmans, Étienne Fodor
Active constituents burn fuel to sustain individual motion, giving rise to collective effects that are not seen in systems at thermal equilibrium, such as phase separation with pur…
Precision-dissipation trade-off for driven stochastic systems
Karel Proesmans
In this paper, I derive a closed expression for how precisely a small-scaled system can follow a pre-defined trajectory, while keeping its dissipation below a fixed limit. The tota…
Relaxation-speed crossover in anharmonic potentials
Jan Meibohm, Danilo Forastiere, Tunrayo Adeleke-Larodo +1
In a recent Letter [A. Lapolla and A. Godec, Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 110602 (2020)], thermal relaxation was observed to occur faster from cold to hot (heating) than from hot to cold…
Reliability and entropy production in non-equilibrium electronic memories
Nahuel Freitas, Karel Proesmans, Massimiliano Esposito
We find the relation between reliability and entropy production in a realistic model of electronic memory (low-power MOS-based SRAM) where logical values are encoded as metastable…
Erasing a majority-logic bit
Karel Proesmans, John Bechhoefer
We study finite-time bit erasure in the context of majority-logic decoding. In particular, we calculate the minimum amount of work needed to erase a majority-logic bit when one has…
Finite-time Landauer principle
Karel Proesmans, Jannik Ehrich, John Bechhoefer
We study the thermodynamic cost associated with the erasure of one bit of information over a finite amount of time. We present a general framework for minimizing the average work r…
Optimal finite-time bit erasure under full control
Karel Proesmans, Jannik Ehrich, John Bechhoefer
We study the finite-time erasure of a one-bit memory consisting of a one-dimensional double-well potential, with each well encoding a memory macrostate. We focus on setups that pro…
Exact statistics and thermodynamic uncertainty relations for a periodically driven electron pump
Pedro E. Harunari, Carlos E. Fiore, Karel Proesmans
We introduce a model for a periodically driven electron pump that sequentially interact with an arbitrary number of heat and particle reservoirs. Exact expressions for the thermody…
Isometric Uncertainty Relations
Hadrien Vroylandt, Karel Proesmans, Todd R. Gingrich
We generalize the link between fluctuation theorems and thermodynamic uncertainty relations by deriving a bound on the variance of fluxes that satisfy an isometric fluctuation theo…
Comparing Theory and Simulation for Thermo-osmosis
Karel Proesmans, Daan Frenkel
We report a numerical study of thermo-osmotic slip, i.e. the particle flux induced by a thermal gradient along a solid-fluid interface. To facilitate comparison with theory, we con…
General linear thermodynamics for periodically driven systems with multiple reservoirs
Karel Proesmans, Carlos E. Fiore
We derive a linear thermodynamics theory for general Markov dynamics with both steady-state and time-periodic drivings. Expressions for thermodynamic quantities, such as mechanical…
Stochastic Impedance
Bart Cleuren, Karel Proesmans
The concept of impedance, which characterises the current response to a periodical driving, is introduced in the context of stochastic transport. In particular, we calculate the im…
Hysteretic thermodynamic uncertainty relation for systems with broken time-reversal symmetry
Karel Proesmans, Jordan M. Horowitz
The thermodynamic uncertainty relation gives a lower bound on the amount of dissipation in a mesoscopic system. By considering the fluctuations in the hysteresis of the current --…
Large-deviation theory for a Brownian particle on a ring: a WKB approach
Karel Proesmans, Bernard Derrida
We study the large deviation function of the displacement of a Brownian particle confined on a ring. In the zero noise limit this large deviation function has a cusp at zero veloci…
Phase transitions in persistent and run-and-tumble walks
Karel Proesmans, Raul Toral, Christian Van den Broeck
We calculate the large deviation function of the end-to-end distance and the corresponding extension-versus-force relation for (isotropic) random walks, on and off-lattice, with an…
A case study of thermodynamic bounds for chemical kinetics
K. Proesmans, L. Peliti, D. Lacoste
In this chapter, we illustrate recently obtained thermodynamic bounds for a number of enzymatic networks by focusing on simple examples of unicyclic or multi-cyclic networks. We al…
Discrete-time thermodynamic uncertainty relation
Karel Proesmans, Christian Van den Broeck
We generalize the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, providing an entropic upper bound for average fluxes in time-continuous steady-state systems (Gingrich et al., Phys. Rev. Lett…
The underdamped Brownian duet and stochastic linear irreversible thermodynamics
Karel Proesmans, Christan Van den Broeck
Building on our earlier work (Proesmans et. al., Phys.~Rev.~X \textbf{6} (2016), 041010), we introduce the underdamped Brownian duet as a prototype model of a dissipative system or…
General criterion for harmonicity
Karel Proesmans, Hans Vandebroek, Christian Van den Broeck
Inspired by Kubo-Anderson Markov processes, we introduce a new class of transfer matrices whose largest eigenvalue is determined by a simple explicit algebraic equation. Applicatio…
Brownian duet: A novel tale of thermodynamic efficiency
Karel Proesmans, Yannik Dreher, Momčilo Gavrilov +2
We calculate analytically the stochastic thermodynamic properties of an isothermal Brownian engine driven by a duo of time-periodic forces, including its Onsager coefficients, the…
Power-efficiency-dissipation relations in linear thermodynamics
Karel Proesmans, Bart Cleuren, Christian Van den Broeck
We derive general relations between maximum power, maximum efficiency, and minimum dissipation regimes from linear irreversible thermodynamics. The relations simplify further in th…
Linear stochastic thermodynamics for periodically driven systems
Karel Proesmans, Bart Cleuren, Christian Van den Broeck
The theory of linear stochastic thermodynamics is developed for periodically driven systems in contact with a single reservoir. Appropriate thermodynamic forces and fluxes are iden…
Onsager coefficients in periodically driven systems
Karel Proesmans, Christian Van den Broeck
We evaluate the Onsager matrix for a system under time-periodic driving by considering all its Fourier components. By application of the second law, we prove that all the fluxes co…
