Extracting work optimally with imprecise measurements
L. Dinis, J. M. R. Parrondo
Measurement and feedback allows an external agent to extract work from a system in contact with a single thermal bath. The maximum amount of work that can be extracted in a single…
Phase transitions in optimal strategies for betting
L. Dinis, J. Unterberger, D. Lacoste
Kelly's criterion is a betting strategy that maximizes the long term growth rate, but which is known to be risky. Here, we find optimal betting strategies that gives the highest ca…
Reversible feedback confinement
Léo Granger, Luis Dinis, Jordan M. Horowitz +1
We present a feedback protocol that is able to confine a system to a single micro-state without heat dissipation. The protocol adjusts the Hamiltonian of the system in such a way t…
Thermodynamics at the microscale: from effective heating to the Brownian Carnot engine
L. Dinis, I. A. Martínez, É. Roldán +2
We review a series of experimental studies of the thermodynamics of nonequilibrium processes at the microscale. In particular, in these experiments we studied the fluctuations of t…
Optimal protocol for a collective flashing ratchet
F. Roca, J. P. G. Villaluenga, L. Dinis
We study a system of independent Brownian particles in a flashing ratchet potential that can be turned on or off depending on the position of the particles, with the aim of maximis…
Non-sinusoidal current and current reversals in a gating ratchet
Luis Dinis, Niurka R. Quintero
In this work, the ratchet dynamics of Brownian particles driven by an external sinusoidal (harmonic) force is investigated. The gating ratchet effect is observed when another harmo…
