Optimizing the relaxation route with optimal control

We look into the minimization of the connection time between nonequilibrium steady states. As a prototypical example of an intrinsically nonequilibrium system, a driven granular gas is considered. For time-independent driving, its natural time scale for relaxation is characterized from an empirical...
