Time-Slicing Path-integral in Curved Space

Mingnan Ding, Xiangjun Xing

Path integrals constitute powerful representations for both quantum and stochastic dynamics. Yet despite many decades of intensive studies, there is no consensus on how to formulat…

Alignment Destabilizes Crystal Orders in Active Systems

Chen Huang, Leiming Chen, Xiangjun Xing

We combine numerical and analytical methods to study two dimensional active crystals formed by permanently linked swimmers and with two distinct alignment interactions. The system…

Evading Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations via Asymmetric Dynamic Protocols

Mingnan Ding, Chen Huang, Xiangjun Xing

Many versions of Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations (TUR) have recently been discovered, which impose lower bounds on relative fluctuations of integrated currents in irreversible…

Strong Coupling Thermodynamics and Stochastic Thermodynamics from the Unifying Perspective of Time-Scale Separation

Mingnan Ding, Zhanchun Tu, Xiangjun Xing

Assuming time-scale separation, a simple and unified theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics is constructed for small classical systems strongly interacting with its…

Covariant Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics from Ito-Langevin Dynamics

Mingnan Ding, Xiangjun Xing

Using the recently developed covariant Ito-Langevin dynamics, we develop a non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory for small systems coupled to multiplicative noises. The theory is ba…
