The investigation of optimal processes has a long history in the field of thermodynamics. It is well known that finite-time processes that minimize dissipation often exhibit discontinuities. We use a combination of numerical and analytical approaches to study the driving cycle that maximizes the output in a simple model of a stochastic pump: a system driven out of equilibrium by a cyclic variation of external parameters. We find that this optimal solution is singular, with an infinite rate of…

An autonomous chemically fuelled small-molecule motor.

A system in which a small molecular ring is continuously transported directionally around a cyclic molecular track when powered by irreversible reactions of a chemical fuel, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride, anticipating that autonomous chemically fuelled molecular motors will find application as engines in molecular nanotechnology.

Stochastic Thermodynamics

Standard thermodynamics pertains to a system in equilibrium. The meaning of equilibrium is that all fields such as temperature, pressure, magnetic, electric fields, etc., are held fixed, and the…

Geometric heat pump: Controlling thermal transport with time-dependent modulations

The second law of thermodynamics dictates that heat simultaneously flows from the hot to cold bath on average. To go beyond this picture, a range of works in the past decade show that, other than the…

Optimality of nonconservative driving for finite-time processes with discrete states.

It is proved that for a system with discrete states this optimal process involves nonconservative driving, i.e., a genuine driving affinity, in contrast to the case of a systemWith continuous states.

Optimizing the relaxation route with optimal control

It is shown that analogous bang-bang protocols, with a number of bangs equal to the number of relevant physical variables, give the minimum connecting time under quite general conditions.

Shortcuts to Adiabatic Pumping in Classical Stochastic Systems.

A geometric interpretation of the control protocol is provided and the thermodynamic cost of implementing it is analyzed to enable fast pumping of charge or heat in quantum dots, as well as in other stochastic systems from physics, chemistry, and biology.

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations constrain non-equilibrium fluctuations

In equilibrium thermodynamics, there exists a well-established connection between dynamical fluctuations of a physical system and the dissipation of its energy into an environment. However, few…

A projection-based method is developed with which an exponentially faster heating protocol can be found in large systems, as it is demonstrated on the 2D antiferromagnet Ising model.

Nonadiabatic Control of Geometric Pumping.

It is found that a geometrical interpretation for the nontrivial part of the current is possible even in the nonadiabatic regime, and a smooth connection is found between the adiabatic Berry phase theory at low frequencies and the Floquet theory at high frequencies.
