The First Exit Time Statistics and the Entropic Forces in Single File Diffusion

Statistical Mechanics 2022-05-06 v1

Abstract

Single file systems are simplified models to study effectively one-dimensional physical systems. Here we compute analytically the complete first exit time statistics for an ideal overdamped single file with absorbing boundary conditions. Then we use these results to study the speed-accuracy trade-off characterizing this observable in terms of the means square displacement and the entropic repulsive forces of the system.
