Adaptive variational low-rank dynamics for open quantum systems

Vincenzo Savona, Luca Gravina

We introduce a model-independent method for the efficient simulation of low-entropy systems, whose dynamics can be accurately described with a limited number of states. Our method leverages the time-dependent variational principle to efficiently integrate ...

Fluctuations of entropy production of a run-and-tumble particle

Amos Maritan, Daniel Maria Busiello

Out-of-equilibrium systems continuously generate entropy, with its rate of production being a fingerprint of nonequilibrium conditions. In small-scale dissipative systems subject to thermal noise, fluctuations of entropy production are significant. Hithert ...

Pressure-freezing of dodecane: exploring the crystal structures, formation kinetics and phase diagrams for colossal barocaloric effects in n-alkanes

Tomasz Poreba

Barocaloric (BC) materials provide cheaper and more energy efficient alternatives to traditional refrigerants. Some liquid alkanes were recently shown to exhibit a colossal BC effect, matching the entropy changes in commercial vapour-liquid refrigerants. D ...

Experimental and theoretical thermodynamic studies in Ba2MgReO6-the ground state in the context of Jahn-Teller effect

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Ivica Zivkovic, Jana Pásztorová

We address the degeneracy of the ground state multiplet on the 5d(1) Re6+ ion in double perovskite Ba2MgReO6 using a combination of specific heat measurements and density functional calculations. For Ba2MgReO6, two different ground state multiplets have pr ...

Fast and Durable Lithium Storage Enabled by Tuning Entropy in Wadsley-Roth Phase Titanium Niobium Oxides

Kangning Zhao, Liping Zhong

Wadsley-Roth phase titanium niobium oxides have received considerable interest as anodes for lithium ion batteries. However, the volume expansion and sluggish ion/electron transport kinetics retard its application in grid scale. Here, fast and durable lith ...

Dissipation-Driven Selection under Finite Diffusion: Hints from Equilibrium and Separation of Time Scales

Paolo De Los Rios, Daniel Maria Busiello, Shiling Liang

When exposed to a thermal gradient, reaction networks can convert thermal energy into the chemical selection of states that would be unfavourable at equilibrium. The kinetics of reaction paths, and thus how fast they dissipate available energy, might be do ...

Fluctuation-dissipation relations in the absence of detailed balance: formalism and applications to active matter

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We present a comprehensive study about the relationship between the way detailed balance is broken in non-equilibrium systems and the resulting violations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Starting from stochastic dynamics with both odd and even vari ...

State selective cooling of SU(N) Fermi gases

Frédéric Mila, Miklos Lajko

We investigate a species selective cooling process of a trapped SU(N) Fermi gas using entropy redistribution during adiabatic loading of an optical lattice. Using high-temperature expansion of the Hubbard model, we show that when a subset N-A < N of the si ...

Differential Entropy of the Conditional Expectation under Gaussian Noise

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Alper Köse, Ahmet Arda Atalik

This paper considers an additive Gaussian noise channel with arbitrarily distributed finite variance input signals. It studies the differential entropy of the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) estimator and provides a new lower bound which connects the diff ...

Effective connectivity in brain networks estimated using EEG signals is altered in children with ADHD

Amir Hossein Omidvarnia

This study presents a methodology developed for estimating effective connectivity in brain networks (BNs) using multichannel scalp EEG recordings. The methodology uses transfer entropy as an information transfer measure to detect pair-wise directed informa ...

High energy barriers for edge dislocation motion in body-centered cubic high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Francesco Maresca, Alireza Ghafarollahi, Recep Ekin Kubilay

Recent theory proposes that edge dislocations in random body-centered cubic (BCC) high entropy alloys have high barriers for motion, conveying high strengths up to high temperatures. Here, the energy barriers for edge motion are computed for two model allo ...

Entropy production in systems with unidirectional transitions

Amos Maritan, Daniel Maria Busiello

The entropy production is one of the most essential features for systems operating out of equilibrium. The formulation for discrete-state systems goes back to the celebrated Schnakenberg's work and hitherto can be carried out when for each transition betwe ...

Tighter thermodynamic bound on the speed limit in systems with unidirectional transitions

Daniel Maria Busiello

We consider a general discrete state-space system with both unidirectional and bidirectional links. In contrast to bidirectional links, there is no reverse transition along the unidirectional links Herein, we first compute the statistical length and the th ...

Coarse-grained entropy production with multiple reservoirs: Unraveling the role of time scales and detailed balance in biology-inspired systems

Amos Maritan, Daniel Maria Busiello

A general framework to describe a vast majority of biology-inspired systems is to model them as stochastic processes in which multiple couplings are in play at the same time. Molecular motors, chemical reaction networks, catalytic enzymes, and particles ex ...

First principles study of the effect of hydrogen in austenitic stainless steels and high entropy alloys

William Curtin, Xiao Zhou

Hydrogen (H) embrittlement in multicomponent austenitic alloys is a serious limitation to their application in many environments. Recent experiments show that the High-Entropy Alloy (HEA) CoCrFeMnNi absorbs more H than 304 Stainless Steel but is less prone ...

High entropy alloys: A focused review of mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms

Entropy production in master equations and Fokker-Planck equations: facing the coarse-graining and recovering the information loss

Systems operating out of equilibrium exchange energy and matter with the environment, thus producing entropy in their surroundings. Since the entropy production depends on the current flowing throughout the system, its quantification is affected by the lev ...

Systems out of equilibrium exhibit a net production of entropy. We study the dynamics of a stochastic system represented by a Master equation (ME) that can be modeled by a Fokker-Planck equation in a coarse-grained, mesoscopic description. We show that the ...
