The central quantity in the celebrated quantum Jarzynski equality is $e^{-\beta W}$, where $W$ is work and $\beta$ is the inverse temperature. The impact of quantum randomness on the fluctuations of $e^{-\beta W}$ and hence on the…
We study the noise-induced currents and reliability or coherence of transport in two different classes of rocking ratchets. For this, we consider the motion of Brownian particles in the over damped limit in both adiabatic and non-adiabatic…
It is known that any nondegenerate Lagrangian containing time derivative terms higher than first order suffers from the Ostrogradsky instability, pathological excitation of positive and negative energy degrees of freedom. We show that,…
Multifractal analysis has been used to diagnoze cracked and healthy rotors. Is has been shown that the complexity and regularity criteria of the dynamical systems defined by the multiple scaling of the time series can indicate the damages…
We show that in a quantum adiabatic evolution, even though the adiabatic approximation is valid, the total phase of the final state indicated by the adiabatic theorem may evidently differ from the actual total phase. This invalidates the…
A confined system of non-interacting electrons, subject to the combined effect of a time-dependent potential and different external chemical-potentials, is considered. The current flowing through such a system is obtained for arbitrary…
We justify an applicability of the adiabatic perturbation theory for three well known systems with impacts: a ball between two slowly moving walls, a slowly irregular waveguide, and an adiabatic piston.
The problem of the dynamical stability of anistropic systems is studied, by proposing a criterion in terms of the adiabatic local index $\gamma$. The result has general validity and can be applied to several physical situations.…
In this letter we show that although the application of standard Lyapunov analysis predicts that completely integrable Kepler motion is unstable, the geometrical analysis of Horwitz et al [1] predicts the observed stability. This seems to…
Dynamics of two anharmonic oscillators with interaction of the fourth order has been investigated. The conditions at realization of which system is integrable are established. The exact analytical solution of the nonlinear equations in the…
We analytically calculate the work distribution of a quantum harmonic oscillator with arbitrary time-dependent angular frequency. We provide detailed expressions for the work probability density for adiabatic and nonadiabatic processes, in…
The target paper presents an experimental verification of a "Jarzynski-related" equality. We show that the latter equality is in fact not related to the Jarzynski equality.
Thermodynamics constrains changes to the energy of a system, both deliberate and random, via its first and second laws. When the system is not in equilibrium, fluctuation theorems such as the Jarzynski equality further restrict the…
A detailed analysis of the adiabatic-piston problem reveals peculiar dynamical features that challenge the general belief that isolated systems necessarily reach a static equilibrium state. In particular, the fact that the piston behaves…
The objections raised by Vilar and Rubi [cond-mat arXiv:0707.3802v1] against the definition of the thermodynamical work appearing in Jarzynski's equality are shown to be misleading and inconsistent.
On the basis of analytical results, we present a numerical example that indicates inconsistency of a widely used ansatz with cubically nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation.
We study two non-equilibrium work fluctuation theorems, the Crooks' theorem and the Jarzynski equality, for a test system coupled to a spatially extended heat reservoir whose degrees of freedom are explicitly modeled. The sufficient…
In this work, we study the Aharonov-Casher effect in the $(2+1)$-dimensional Dirac oscillator coupled to an external electromagnetic field. We set up our system in two different scenarios: in the Minkowski spacetime and the cosmic string…
In circular accelerators, crossing the linear coupling resonance induces the exchange of the transverse emittances, provided the process is adiabatic. This has been considered in some previous works, where the description of the phenomenon…
The system of compressible adiabatic flow through porous media is considered in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ in the present paper. The global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions are obtained when the initial data is near its equilibrium. We…
