Escaping kinetic traps using nonreciprocal interactions
Kinetic traps are a notorious problem in equilibrium statistical mechanics, where
temperature quenches ultimately fail to bring the system to low energy configurations. Using …

Minimum-dissipation principle for synchronized stochastic oscillators far from equilibrium
J Meibohm, M Esposito - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We prove a linear stability-dissipation relation (SDR) for q-state Potts models driven far from
equilibrium by a nonconservative force. At a critical coupling strength, these models exhibit a …

Thermodynamic inference of correlations in nonequilibrium collective dynamics
The theory of stochastic thermodynamics has revealed many useful fluctuation relations,
with the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) being a theorem of major interest. When …

Universal mechanistic rules for de novo design of enzymes
M Chatzittofi, J Agudo-Canalejo… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Enzymes are nano-scale machines that have evolved to drive chemical reactions out of
equilibrium in the right place at the right time. Thermodynamically favourable reactions such …

Topological phase locking in dissipatively-coupled noise-activated processes
M Chatzittofi, R Golestanian… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study a minimal model of two non-identical noise-activated oscillators that interact with
each other through a dissipative coupling. We find that the system exhibits a rich variety of …
