A geometric shortcut protocol using an auxiliary potential and geodesics on a dissipative-work metric enables finite-time state transitions in weakly active systems with reduced dissipation compared to linear ramps.
Derives a Boltzmann-like distribution over actions via maximum entropy subject to a mean-action constraint, producing a Markovian stochastic propagator that matches Brownian motion and remains covariant at relativistic speeds.
Spectral softening in driven quadratic systems causes the partition function to diverge and adiabaticity to fail below a finite drive-dependent frequency threshold, rendering equilibrium ill-defined.
Asymmetric well widths and barrier in a bistable potential allow finite-time bit erasure with heat below kT ln 2, bounded below by the effective free-energy change of the process.
