While Kramers' rates have been studied for almost a century, the transition path time between states has only recently received attention. Transition paths between different energy levels are expected to be indistinguishable in shape and…

The resonant activation effect (RA) has been well studied in different ways during the last two decades. It consists in the presence of a minimum in the mean time spent by a Brownian particle to exit from a potential well in the presence of…

We propose a water pump that actively transports water molecules through nanochannels. Spatially asymmetric thermal fluctuations imposed on the channel radius cause unidirectional water flow without osmotic pressure, which can be attributed…

It is shown using numerical simulations that flow patterns around an obstacle potential moving in a superfluid exhibit hysteresis. In a certain velocity region, there is a bistability between stationary laminar flow and periodic vortex…

Previous works have shown that time asymmetric forcing on the one hand, as well as non-Gaussian noises on the other, can separately enhance the efficiency and current of a Brownian motor. Here, we study the result of subjecting a Brownian…

A walker is the association of a sub-millimetric bouncing drop moving along with a co-evolving Faraday wave. When confined in a harmonic potential, its stable trajectories are periodic and quantised both in extension and mean angular…
