Entropy Production Bounds the Accuracy of Computation in Markov Networks
Songela W. Chen, David T. Limmer
Biological and artificial networks compute by transforming time-dependent inputs into functional outputs. Because the internal state of a stochastic network relaxes on finite times…
Pattern stability in reaction-diffusion systems depends on path entropy
Eric R. Heller, David T. Limmer
Reaction-diffusion systems driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium through the injection of energy can support multiple spatial patterns that persist as long-lived dynamical phas…
Optimal control of bit erasure in stochastic random access memory
Songela W. Chen, David T. Limmer
Energy costs of information processing are growing exponentially. Bit erasure is a key problem in this energy-information nexus, and a number of seminal relationships have been ded…
Large deviations of ionic currents in dilute electrolytes
Jafar Farhadi, David T. Limmer
We evaluate the exponentially rare fluctuations of the ionic current for a dilute electrolyte by means of macroscopic fluctuation theory. We consider the fluctuating hydrodynamics…
Mechanism of Shape Symmetry Breaking in Surfactant Mediated Crystal Growth
Sam Oaks-Leaf, David T. Limmer
We present a dynamical model of crystal growth, in which it is possible to reliably achieve asymmetric products, beginning from symmetric initial conditions and growing within an i…
Variational time reversal for free energy estimation in nonequilibrium steady states
Jorge L. Rosa-Raíces, David T. Limmer
Studying the structure of systems in nonequilibrium steady states necessitates tools that quantify population shifts and associated deformations of equilibrium free energy landscap…
