Micro- and nano-scale systems driven by rapid changes in control parameters (control protocols) dissipate significant energy. In the fast-protocol limit, we find that protocols that minimize dissipation at fixed duration are universally given by a two-step process, jumping to and from a point that balances jump size with fast relaxation. Jump protocols could be exploited by molecular machines or thermodynamic computing to improve energetic efficiency, and implemented in nonequilibrium free-energy estimation to improve accuracy.

  1. Scaling flow-based approaches for topology sampling in $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ gauge theory

    hep-lat 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Out-of-equilibrium simulations with open-to-periodic boundary switching plus a tailored stochastic normalizing flow enable efficient topology sampling in the continuum limit of four-dimensional SU(3) Yang-Mills theory.
