Focusing on a famous class of interacting diffusion processes called Ginzburg-Landau (GL) dynamics, we extend the Macroscopic Fluctuations Theory (MFT) to these systems in the case where the interactions are long-range, and consequently, the macroscopic effective equations are described by non-linear fractional diffusion equations.

We report anomalous heating in a colloidal system, the first observation of the inverse Mpemba effect, where an initially cold system heats up faster than an identical warm system coupled to the same thermal bath. For an overdamped, Brownian colloidal particle moving in a tilted double-well potential, we find a non-monotonic dependence of the...

The Mpemba effect refers to systems whose thermal relaxation time is a non-monotonic function of the initial temperature. Thus, a system that is initially hot cools to a bath temperature more quickly than the same system, initially warm. In the special case where the system dynamics can be described by a double-well potential with metastable...

Abstract We study the evolution of a two-state system that is monitored continuously but with interactions with the detector tuned so as to avoid the Zeno affect. The system is allowed to interact with a sequence of prepared probes. The post-interaction probe states are measured and this leads to a stochastic evolution of the system's state...

Significance A cold system normally takes longer to warm up than a cool system. Yet recent theoretical studies have suggested that the reverse may sometimes be possible. Here, using a colloidal particle in a heat bath, we present experimental evidence for this inverse Mpemba effect. By carefully choosing the energy landscape, we can make the...

Abstract We present an English translation of Erwin Schrödinger's paper on "On the Reversal of the Laws of Nature''. In this paper, Schrödinger analyses the idea of time reversal of a diffusion process. Schrödinger's paper acted as a prominent source of inspiration for the works of Bernstein on reciprocal processes and of Kolmogorov on time...

Self-propelled particle (SPP) systems are intrinsically out of equi-librium systems, where each individual particle converts energy into work to move in a dissipative medium. When interacting through a velocity alignment mechanism, and with the medium acting as a momentum sink, even momen-tum is not conserved. In this scenario, a mapping into...

We consider extended slow-fast systems of N interacting diffusions. The typical behavior of the empirical density is described by a nonlinear McKean–Vlasov equation depending on ε, the scaling parameter separating the time scale of the slow variable from the time scale of the fast variable. Its atypical behavior is encapsulated in a large N...

In the strong noise regime, we study the homogeneization of quantum trajectories i.e. stochastic processes appearing in the context of quantum measurement. When the generator of the average semi-group can be separated into three distinct time scales, we start by describing a homogenized limiting semi-group. This result is of independent...

We review the theory of martingales as applied to stochastic thermodynamics and stochastic processes in physics more generally.
