Driving rapidly while remaining in control: classical shortcuts from Hamiltonian to stochastic dynamics

D Guéry-Odelin, C Jarzynski, CA Plata… - Reports on Progress …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
Stochastic thermodynamics lays down a broad framework to revisit the venerable concepts
of heat, work and entropy production for individual stochastic trajectories of mesoscopic …

Thermodynamic trade-off relation for first passage time in resetting processes

PS Pal, A Pal, H Park, JS Lee - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
Resetting is a strategy for boosting the speed of a target-searching process. Since its
introduction over a decade ago, most studies have been carried out under the assumption …

Classical dissipative cost of quantum control

A Kiely, S Campbell, GT Landi - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
Protocols for nonadiabatic quantum control often require the use of classical time-varying
fields. Assessing the thermodynamic cost of such protocols, however, is far from trivial. Here …

Learning efficient erasure protocols for an underdamped memory

N Barros, S Whitelam, S Ciliberto, L Bellon - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We apply evolutionary reinforcement learning to a simulation model in order to identify
efficient time-dependent erasure protocols for a physical realization of a one-bit memory by …

Shortcuts to equilibrium with a levitated particle in the underdamped regime

D Raynal, T de Guillebon, D Guéry-Odelin, E Trizac… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We report on speeding-up equilibrium recovery in the previously unexplored general case of
the underdamped regime using an optically levitated particle. We accelerate the …

Refining Landauer's stack: balancing error and dissipation when erasing information

GW Wimsatt, AB Boyd, PM Riechers… - Journal of Statistical …, 2021 - Springer
Nonequilibrium information thermodynamics determines the minimum energy dissipation to
reliably erase memory under time-symmetric control protocols. We demonstrate that its …

Gigahertz sub-Landauer momentum computing

KJ Ray, JP Crutchfield - Physical Review Applied, 2023 - APS
We introduce a fast and highly efficient physically realizable bit swap. Employing readily
available and scalable Josephson junction microtechnology, the design implements the …

Balancing error and dissipation in computing

PM Riechers, AB Boyd, GW Wimsatt… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
Modern digital electronics support remarkably reliable computing, especially given the
challenge of controlling nanoscale logical components that interact in fluctuating …

Non-equilibrium attractor for non-linear stochastic dynamics

A Patrón, B Sánchez-Rey, E Trizac… - Europhysics …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the dynamical behaviour of mesoscopic systems in contact with a thermal bath,
described either via a non-linear Langevin equation at the trajectory level—or the …

Shortcut to finite-time memory erasure

G Li, H Dong - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
To achieve fast computation, it is crucial to reset the memory to a desired state within a
limited time. However, the inherent delay in the system's response often prevents reaching …
