Quantum fluctuation relations provide a microscopic formulation of thermodynamics beyond equilibrium, but experimentally accessing many-body quantum work statistics remains an outstanding challenge. The quantum piston constitutes a…

In this work, we investigate the dynamics of the number density fluctuations of a dilute suspension of active particles in a linear viscoelastic fluid. We propose a model for the frequency-dependent diffusion coefficient of the active…

We present a mode-coupling theory for the dynamics of a tagged particle in a driven granular fluid close to the glass transition. The mean-squared displacement is shown to exhibit a plateau indicating structural arrest. In contrast to…

We simulate a colloid with charge q_d driven through a disordered assembly of interacting colloids with charge q and show that, for q_d \approx q, the velocity-force relation is nonlinear and the velocity fluctuations of the driven particle…

We discovered an out-of-equilibrium transition in the ideal gas between two walls, divided by an inner, adiabatic, movable wall. The system is driven out-of-equilibrium by supplying energy directly into the volume of the gas. At critical…
