Entropy Production Fluctuations Encode Collective Behavior in Active Matter

Explore entropy production fluctuations and their role in encoding collective behavior in active matter systems during this 55-minute conference talk. Delve into a lower bound on entropy production fluctuations for interacting active matter, examining its tightness in relation to short-ranged interparticle correlations. Analyze four different active matter models to understand how the bound weakens near phase transitions with long-ranged correlations. Investigate the theory developed to explain large fluctuations related to phase transitions in active Brownian particles. Learn about derived control forces for tuning dissipation and phase behavior. Gain insights into the connection between dissipation and pattern formation, as well as methods for controlling these phenomena in active matter systems.
