Machine learning outperforms thermodynamics in measuring how well a many-body system learns a drive

Emergent thermodynamics in a quenched quantum many-body system.

We study the statistics of the work done, fluctuation relations, and irreversible entropy production in a quantum many-body system subject to the sudden quench of a control parameter. By treating the quench as a thermodynamic transformation we show that the emergence of irreversibility in the nonequilibrium dynamics of closed many-body quantum systems can be accurately characterized. We demonst...

How to Drive a B Machine

The B Method is a state based formal method that describes behaviour in terms of MACHINES whose states change under OPER ATIONS The process algebra CSP is an event based formalism that enables descriptions of patterns of system behaviour We present a com bination of the two views where a CSP process acts as a control executive and its events simply drive corresponding OPERATIONS We de ne con si...

Assessing the Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics in a Quenched Quantum Many-Body System via Single Projective Measurements

Real-time Scheduling of a Flexible Manufacturing System using a Two-phase Machine Learning Algorithm

The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...
