Title: Langevin synchronization in a time-dependent, harmonic basin: An exact solution in 1D

Abstract

The trajectories of two particles undergoing Langevin dynamics while sharing a common noise sequence can merge into a single (master) trajectory. In this paper, we present an exact solution for a particle undergoing Langevin dynamics in a harmonic, time-dependent potential, thus extending the idea of synchronization to nonequilibrium systems. We calculate the synchronization level, i.e., the mismatch between two trajectories sharing a common noise sequence, in the underdamped, critically damped, and overdamped regimes. In conclusion, we provide asymptotic expansions in various limiting cases and compare to the time independent case.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Schematic of pairs of trajectories merging into a master trajectory for the (a) time-independent and (b) time-dependent potentials. The vertical (blue) lines represent guides indicative of the typical bounds for a trajectory evolving in the basin at a given temperature, T. The synchronization level is computed as themore » driven system crosses ω0 at time t, where the two potentials become equivalent, i.e., they possess the same curvature.« less
