Toward relaxation asymmetry: Heating is faster than cooling
An asymmetry in thermal relaxation toward equilibrium has been uncovered for Langevin systems near stable minima [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 110602 (2020)10.1103/PhysRevLett.125.110602]. It has been shown that, given the same degree of nonequilibrium of the initial distributions, relaxation from a lower...
