Engineered swift equilibration for Brownian objects: from underdamped to overdamped dynamics

We propose an enlarged framework to study transformations that drive an underdamped Brownian particle in contact with a thermal bath from an equilibrium state to a new one in an arbitrarily short time. To this end, we make use of a time and space-dependent potential, that plays a dual role: confine...
