Optimal protocols and universal time-energy bound in Brownian thermodynamics
We propose an optimization strategy to control the dynamics of a stochastic system transferred from one thermal equilibrium to another and apply it experimentally to a Brownian particle in an optical trap under compression. Based on a variational principle that treats the transfer duration and the e...
