Structured light, also known as tailored light, shaped light, sculpted light, or custom light,
refers to a series of special light beams with spatially variant amplitudes and phases …

Recent theoretical developments in information thermodynamics elucidated the link
between the acquired information and the entropy production through measurement and …

We report anomalous heating in a colloidal system, an experimental observation of the
inverse Mpemba effect, where for two initial temperatures lower than the temperature of the …

We introduce an alternative route for obtaining reliable cyclic engines, based on two
interacting Brownian particles under time-periodic drivings which can be used as a work-to …

We study the thermodynamic energy cost required for the shortcuts-to-isothermal (ScI)
process that can accelerate the isothermal process at a finite time. Our experiment uses a …

We experimentally realize the finite-rate isothermal process of a Brownian particle in a
breathing harmonic potential. For the compression process, finite-rate equilibration can be …

Structured-light displacement detection method is an innovative approach with extremely
high sensitivity for measuring the displacement of a levitated particle. This scheme includes …

Information-driven engines that rectify thermal fluctuations are a modern realization of the
Maxwell-demon thought experiment. We introduce a simple design based on a heavy …

Realizing quasistatic processes in finite times requires additional control parameters to keep
the system in instantaneous equilibrium (ieq). However, the finite-rate ieq transition of the …

We experimentally demonstrate that a Brownian gyrator of a colloidal particle confined in a
two-dimensional harmonic potential with different effective temperatures on orthogonal axes …
