Irreversibility and biased ensembles in active matter: Insights from stochastic thermodynamics

É Fodor, RL Jack, ME Cates - Annual Review of Condensed …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

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

Irreversibility, heat and information flows induced by non-reciprocal interactions

SAM Loos, SHL Klapp - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the thermodynamic properties induced by non-reciprocal interactions between
stochastic degrees of freedom in time-and space-continuous systems. We show that, under …

Information engine in a nonequilibrium bath

TK Saha, J Ehrich, M Gavrilov, S Still, DA Sivak… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Information engines can convert thermal fluctuations of a bath at temperature T into work at
rates of order k BT per relaxation time of the system. We show experimentally that such …

Second law for active heat engines

A Datta, P Pietzonka, AC Barato - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Macroscopic cyclic heat engines have been a major motivation for the emergence of
thermodynamics. In the past decade, cyclic heat engines that have large fluctuations and …

Fluctuations in heat engines

Correlated escape of active particles across a potential barrier

L Caprini, F Cecconi… - The Journal of Chemical …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
We study the dynamics of one-dimensional active particles confined in a double-well
potential, focusing on the escape properties of the system, such as the mean escape time …

Underdamped active Brownian heat engine

V Holubec, R Marathe - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Active Brownian engines rectify energy from reservoirs composed of self-propelling
