There is a growing recognition that ecological systems can spend extended periods of time
far away from an asymptotic state, and that ecological understanding will therefore require a …

Mechanical systems prepared in quantum non-Gaussian states constitute a new advanced
class of phenomena breaking the laws of classical physics. Specifically, such mechanical …

We show that the entropy production rate bounds the rate at which physical processes can
be performed in stochastic systems far from equilibrium. In particular, we prove the …

The visual perception of a moving target is not always true. Wheels turning rapidly, for
instance, may look like rotating inversely. This phenomenon is known as the wagon‐wheel …

Optically levitated nanoparticles emerged as an interesting platform for probing fundamental
physics. Quantum control of their motion (including potential shaping) predisposes them for …

We investigate the overdamped stochastic dynamics of a particle in an asymptotically flat
external potential field, in contact with a thermal bath. For an infinite system size, the …

Coherent scattering of photons is a novel mechanism of optomechanical coupling for
optically levitated nanoparticles promising strong, versatile interactions with light and …

We present a theoretical investigation of the stochastic dynamics of a damped particle in a
tilted periodic potential with a double well per period. By applying the matrix continued …

Nonclassical optomechanical correlations enable optical control of mechanical motion
beyond the limitations of classical driving. Here we investigate the feasibility of using pulsed …

High-quality nanomechanical oscillators can sensitively probe force, mass, or displacement
in experiments bridging the gap between the classical and quantum domain. Dynamics of …
