We study the large deviations of the power injected by the active force for an Active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Particle (AOUP), free or in a confining potential. For the free-particle case, we compute the rate function analytically in…

We solve a physically significant extension of a classic problem in the theory of diffusion, namely the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process [G. E. Ornstein and L. S. Uhlenbeck, Phys. Rev. 36, 823, (1930)]. Our generalised Ornstein-Uhlenbeck systems…

We present a general framework in which we can accurately describe the non-equilibrium dynamics of trapped atomic gases. This is achieved by deriving a single Fokker-Planck equation for the gas. In this way we are able to discuss not only…

We study the motion of a Brownian particle subjected to Lorentz force due to an external magnetic field. Each spatial degree of freedom of the particle is coupled to a different thermostat. We show that the magnetic field results in…

We model thermostatic devices using a stochastic hybrid description, and introduce an external actuation mechanism that creates random switch events in the discrete dynamics. We then conjecture the form of the Fokker-Planck equation and…
