Experimental evidence for strong emergent correlations between particles in a switching trap

Marco Biroli, Sergio Ciliberto, Manas Kulkarni +3

We experimentally study a system of two-dimensional Brownian particles, each confined in a harmonic trap with identical stiffness. The stiffness switches simultaneously bet…

Fluctuation theorems with optical tweezers: theory and practice

Thalyta T. Martins, André H. A. Malavazi, Lucas P. Kamizaki +4

Fluctuation theorems, such as the Jarzynski equality and the Crooks relation, are effective tools connecting non-equilibrium work statistics and equilibrium free energy differences…

Laser-induced heating for the experimental study of critical Casimir forces with optical trapping

Ignacio A. Martinez, Artyom Petrosyan, Sergio Ciliberto

Critical Casimir interactions represent a perfect example of bath-induced forces at mesoscales. These forces may have a relevant role in the living systems as well as a role in the…

Benchmark of the Schmiedl-Seifert optimal protocol with reduced dissipated work and fluctuations in optical tweezers

Thalyta Tavares Martins, André H. A. Malavazi, Lucas Prado Kamizaki +4

Finite-time thermodynamic transformations generally dissipate energy, as required by the Second Law, so identifying and investigating energetically optimal processes remain relevan…

Optimal mean first-passage time of a Brownian searcher with resetting in one and two dimensions: Experiments, theory and numerical tests

Felix Faisant, Benjamin Besga, Artyom Petrosyan +2

We study experimentally, numerically and theoretically the optimal mean time needed by a Brownian particle, freely diffusing either in one or two dimensions, to reach, within a tol…

Dynamical phase transition in the first-passage probability of a Brownian motion

Benjamin Besga, Felix Faisant, Artyom Petrosyan +2

We study theoretically, experimentally and numerically the probability distribution of the first passage times needed by a freely diffusing Brownian particle t…
