Description
In this talk, I will introduce a general framework to determine optimal protocols to drive non-equilibrium systems. Utilizing non-equilibrium fluctuation-response relationships, I will demonstrate how to design protocols that transition systems from an initial to a final state with minimal dissipated work. The focus will be on two specific cases: active particle systems experiencing motility-induced phase separation and chemical reaction networks undergoing non-equilibrium phase transitions.
