Optimal paths and dynamical symmetry breaking in the current fluctuations of driven diffusive media
Pablo I. Hurtado
Large deviation theory provides a framework to understand macroscopic fluctuations and collective phenomena in many-body nonequilibrium systems in terms of microscopic dynamics. In…
An atom-doped photon engine: Extracting mechanical work from a quantum system via radiation pressure
Álvaro Tejero, Daniel Manzano, Pablo I. Hurtado
The possibility of efficiently converting heat into work at the microscale has triggered an intense research effort to understand quantum heat engines, driven by the hope of quantu…
Molecular hints of two-step transition to convective flow via streamline percolation
P. L. Garrido, P. I. Hurtado
Convection is a key transport phenomenon important in many different areas, from hydrodynamics and ocean circulation to planetary atmospheres or stellar physics. However its micros…
Active interaction switching controls the dynamic heterogeneity of soft colloidal dispersions
Michael Bley, Pablo I. Hurtado, Joachim Dzubiella +1
We employ Reactive Dynamical Density Functional Theory (R-DDFT) and Reactive Brownian Dynamics (R-BD) simulations to investigate the dynamics of a suspension of active soft Gaussia…
Coupled activity-current fluctuations in open quantum systems under strong symmetries
D. Manzano, M. A. Martínez-García, P. I. Hurtado
Strong symmetries in open quantum systems lead to broken ergodicity and the emergence of multiple degenerate steady states. From a quantum jump (trajectory) perspective, the appear…
Building continuous time crystals from rare events
R. Hurtado-Gutiérrez, F. Carollo, C. Pérez-Espigares +1
Symmetry-breaking dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) abound in the fluctuations of nonequilibrium systems. Here we show that the spectral features of a particular class of DPTs exh…
