Quantum transitions are described semiclassically as motions of systems along (complex) trajectories. We consider the cases when the semiclassical trajectories are unstable and find that durations of the corresponding transitions are large.…
A system can be driven between metastable configurations by a time-dependent driving protocol, which uses external control parameters to change the potential energy of the system. Here we investigate the correspondence between driving…
We study abrupt changes in the dynamics and/or steady state of fermionic dissipative systems produced by small changes of the system parameters. Specifically, we consider open fermionic systems whose dynamics is described by master…
A model multilevel molecule described by two sets of rotational internal energy levels of different parity and degenerate ground states, coupled by a constant interaction, is considered, by assuming that the random collisions in a gas of…
Many processes in chemistry, physics, and biology involve rare events in which the system escapes from a metastable state by surmounting an activation barrier. Examples range from chemical reactions, protein folding, and nucleation events…
The mechanisms for explaining how a stable asymmetric chemical system can be formed from a symmetric chemical system, in the absence of any asymmetric influence other than statistical fluctuations, have been developed during the last…
A path information is defined in connection with different possible paths of irregular dynamic systems moving in its phase space between two points. On the basis of the assumption that the paths are physically differentiated by their…
When a chemical reaction is driven by an external field, the transition state that the system must pass through as it changes from reactant to product -for example, an energy barrier- becomes time-dependent. We show that for periodic…
In this work we identify and investigate a novel bifurcation in conserved systems. This secondary bifurcation stops active phase separation in its nonlinear regime. It is then either replaced by an extended, system-filling, spatially…
Many biological, chemical, and physical systems are underpinned by stochastic transitions between equilibrium states in a potential energy. Here, we consider such transitions in a minimal model with two possible competing pathways, both…
Two stable dynamical states of trajectories of an underdamped particle, under appropriate conditions, appear naturally in a sinusoidal potential when driven by a low amplitude biharmonic external field. These states are quite stable at low…
A kinetic chemotaxis model with attractive interaction by quasistationary chemical signalling is considered. The special choice of the turning operator, with velocity jumps biased towards the chemical concentration gradient, permits closed…
In striking contrast to equilibrium systems, inertia can profoundly alter the structure of active systems. Here, we demonstrate that driven systems can exhibit effective equilibrium-like states with increasing particle inertia, despite…
Relative motion in a two-component, trapped atomic gas provides a sensitive probe of interactions. By studying the lowest frequency excitations of a two spin-state gas confined in a magnetic trap, we have explored the transition from the…
Far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics underpins the emergence of life, but how has been a long-outstanding puzzle. Best candidate theories based on the maximum entropy production principle could not be unequivocally proven, in part due to…
Describing chemical reactions in solution on a molecular level is a challenging task due to the high mobility of weakly interacting solvent molecules which requires configurational sampling. For instance, polar and protic solvents can…
Steady states are frequently used to investigate the long-term behaviors of (bio)-chemical systems. Recently, there has been a growing interest in network-based approaches due to their efficiency in deriving parametrizations of positive…
Using the mass balance equations for chemical reactions, we show how the system relaxes towards a steady state in and out of the Onsager region. In the chemical affinities space, after fast transients, the relaxation process is a straight…
The numerical solutions of nonlocal and local Boltzmann kinetic equations for the simulation of central heavy ion reactions are parameterized in terms of time dependent thermodynamical variables in the Fermi liquid sense. This allows one to…
The classical mass action law in chemical kinetics is put into the context of multiscale thermodynamics.Despite the purely dissipative character of the classical mass action law, inertial effects also play a role in chemical kinetics.…
