Exact Mapping of Nonequilibrium to Equilibrium Phase Transitions for Systems in Contact with Two Thermal Baths
Iago N. Mamede, Carlos E. Fiore, Gustavo A. L. Forão +2
We show that a large class of nonequilibrium many-body systems in contact with two thermal baths admit an exact mapping onto equivalent equilibrium systems. This mapping provides d…
Identifying non-equilibrium fluctuations in Intracellular Motion Using Recurrent Neural Networks
Tomas Basile, Natascha Leijnse, Malte Slot Lauridsen +3
Distinguishing active from passive dynamics is a fundamental challenge in understanding the motion of living cells and other active matter systems. Here, we introduce a framework t…
Insertion space in repulsive active matter
Luke K. Davis, Karel Proesmans
For equilibrium hard spheres, the statistical geometry of the insertion space, the room to accommodate another sphere, relates exactly to the equation of state. We begin to extend…
Thermodynamic control of non-equilibrium systems
Dana Kamp, Karel Proesmans
We study the thermodynamic cost associated with driving systems between different non-equilibrium steady states. In particular, we combine a linear-response framework for non-equil…
Quantifying dissipation in flocking dynamics: When tracking internal states matters
Karel Proesmans, Gianmaria Falasco, Atul Tanaji Mohite +2
Aligning self-propelled particles undergo a nonequilibrium flocking transition from apolar to polar phases as their interactions become stronger. We propose a thermodynamically con…
Limits to positional information in boundary-driven systems
Prashant Singh, Karel Proesmans
Chemical gradients can be used by a particle to determine its position. This \textit{positional information} is of crucial importance, for example in developmental biology in the f…
