We study the effects of an intermittent harmonic potential of strength $mu = mu_0 u$ -- that switches on and off stochastically at a constant rate $gamma$, on an overdamped Brownian particle with damping coefficient $ u$. This can be thought of as a realistic model for realisation of stochastic resetting. We show that this dynamics admits a stationary solution in all parameter regimes and compute the full time dependent variance for the position distribution and find the characteristic relaxation time. We find the exact non-equilibrium stationary state distributions in the limits -- (i) $gammallmu_0 $ which shows a non-trivial distribution, in addition as $mu_0toinfty$, we get back the result for resetting with refractory period; (ii) $gammaggmu_0$ where the particle relaxes to a Boltzmann distribution of an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with half the strength of the original potential and (iii) intermediate $gamma=2nmu_0$ for $n=1, 2$. The mean first passage time (MFPT) to find a target exhibits an optimisation with the switching rate, however unlike instantaneous resetting the MFPT does not diverge but reaches a stationary value at large rates. MFPT also shows similar behavior with respect to the potential strength. Our results can be verified in experiments on colloids using optical tweezers.

We investigate the dynamics of quantum particles in a ratchet potential subject to an ac force field. We develop a perturbative approach for weak ratchet potentials and force fields. Within this approach, we obtain an analytic description of dc curre
nt rectification and current reversals. Transport characteristics for various limiting cases -- such as the classical limit, limit of high or low frequencies, and/or high temperatures -- are derived explicitly. To gain insight into the intricate dependence of the rectified current on the relevant parameters, we identify characteristic scales and obtain the response of the ratchet system in terms of scaling functions. We pay a special attention to inertial effects and show that they are often relevant, for example, at high temperatures. We find that the high temperature decay of the rectified current follows an algebraic law with a non-trivial exponent, $jpropto T^{-17/6}$.
Brownian motion has played important roles in many different fields of science since its origin was first explained by Albert Einstein in 1905. Einsteins theory of Brownian motion, however, is only applicable at long time scales. At short time scales
, Brownian motion of a suspended particle is not completely random, due to the inertia of the particle and the surrounding fluid. Moreover, the thermal force exerted on a particle suspended in a liquid is not a white noise, but is colored. Recent experimental developments in optical trapping and detection have made this new regime of Brownian motion accessible. This review summarizes related theories and recent experiments on Brownian motion at short time scales, with a focus on the measurement of the instantaneous velocity of a Brownian particle in a gas and the observation of the transition from ballistic to diffusive Brownian motion in a liquid.
Single-file Brownian motion in periodic structures is an important process in nature and technology, which becomes increasingly amenable for experimental investigation under controlled conditions. To explore and understand generic features of this mo
tion, the Brownian asymmetric simple exclusion process (BASEP) was recently introduced. The BASEP refers to diffusion models, where hard spheres are driven by a constant drag force through a periodic potential. Here, we derive general properties of the rich collective dynamics in the BASEP. Average currents in the steady state change dramatically with the particle size and density. For an open system coupled to particle reservoirs, extremal current principles predict various nonequilibrium phases, which we verify by Brownian dynamics simulations. For general pair interactions we discuss connections to single-file transport by traveling-wave potentials and prove the impossibility of current reversals in systems driven by a constant drag and by traveling waves.
At fast timescales, the self-similarity of random Brownian motion is expected to break down and be replaced by ballistic motion. So far, an experimental verification of this prediction has been out of reach due to a lack of instrumentation fast and p
recise enough to capture this motion. With a newly developed detector, we have been able to observe the Brownian motion of a single particle in an optical trap with 75 MHz bandwidth and sub-{AA}ngstrom spatial precision. We report the first measurements of ballistic Brownian motion as well as the first determination of the velocity autocorrelation function of a Brownian particle. The data are in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions taking into account the inertia of the particle and the surrounding fluid as well as hydrodynamic memory effects.
We study the stochastic motion of particles driven by long-range correlated fractional Gaussian noise in a superharmonic external potential of the form $U(x)propto x^{2n}$ ($ninmathbb{N}$). When the noise is considered to be external, the resulting o
verdamped motion is described by the non-Markovian Langevin equation for fractional Brownian motion. For this case we show the existence of long time, stationary probability density functions (PDFs) the shape of which strongly deviates from the naively expected Boltzmann PDF in the confining potential $U(x)$. We analyse in detail the temporal approach to stationarity as well as the shape of the non-Boltzmann stationary PDF. A typical characteristic is that subdiffusive, antipersistent (with negative autocorrelation) motion tends to effect an accumulation of probability close to the origin as compared to the corresponding Boltzmann distribution while the opposite trend occurs for superdiffusive (persistent) motion. For this latter case this leads to distinct bimodal shapes of the PDF. This property is compared to a similar phenomenon observed for Markovian L{e}vy flights in superharmonic potentials. We also demonstrate that the motion encoded in the fractional Langevin equation driven by fractional Gaussian noise always relaxes to the Boltzmann distribution, as in this case the fluctuation-dissipation theorem is fulfilled.
