Asymmetric thermal relaxation in driven systems: Rotations go opposite ways
It was predicted and recently experimentally confirmed that systems with microscopically reversible dynamics in quadratic potentials warm up faster than they cool down. This thermal relaxation asymmetry challenged our understanding of relaxation far from equilibrium. Because the intuition and proof...
