Mathematical Physics Seminar (November 13rd) – Dr Luke Davis (Isaac Newton Institue) – Controlling discrete and continuous state of non-equilibrium systems

Abstract – In this talk I will outline the derivation of a versatile framework for the control of nonequilibrium systems with internal driving, that exhibit discrete and continuous states. The framework combines recent developments in stochastic thermodynamics and response theory. I will then briefly present proofs of concepts of this framework, through the solution of a semi-analytical one-body control problem and a many-body control problem. In this talk I will focus on the formal building-up of the framework, rather than on the applications.

Note: This seminar will be happening in-person only. 

Location: Huxley 139, 3-4pm.
