Abstract
The Mpemba effect is a counterintuitive phenomena in which a hot system reaches a cold temperature faster than a colder system, under otherwise identical conditions. Here, we propose a quantum analog of the Mpemba effect, on the simplest quantum system, a qubit. Specifically, we show it exhibits an inverse effect, in which a cold qubit reaches a hot temperature faster than a hot qubit. Furthermore, in our system a cold qubit can heat up exponentially faster, manifesting the strong version of the effect. This occurs only for sufficiently coherent systems, making this effect quantum mechanical, i.e., due to interference effects. We experimentally demonstrate our findings on a single ^{88}Sr^{+} trapped ion qubit. The existence of this anomalous relaxation effect in simple quantum systems reveals its fundamentality, and may have a role in designing and operating quantum information processing devices.

Abstract
The flexible robot is widely used in a variety of fields such as medical treatment, rescue and disaster relief, industry, and agriculture. Using elastic materials to prepare flexible robot body structures is the core of the study of flexible robots. Due to the small selection of materials, single preparation method, and long fabrication time, in this study, a new method of gas-assisted extrusion (GAE) of elastic material round-tube for flexible robot body was proposed, and the numerical simulation of GAE was carried out with nonsilicone elastic material round-tube under different viscosities. The results showed that with the change of viscosity, the velocity, pressure drop, and shear rate of melt in all directions change accordingly. When the viscosity is too small or too large, it is easy to bring negative effects on the GAE process of elastic materials. TPE and TPU were completely plasticized in the GAE, and the surface of the extruded elastic products was smooth and straight, with full gloss. Therefore, in the preparation of the flexible robot body, nonsilicone elastic materials and GAE forming methods can be considered.

Santos A. Mpemba meets Newton: Exploring the Mpemba and Kovacs effects in the time-delayed cooling law. Phys Rev E 2024; 109:044149.

Abstract
Despite extensive research, the fundamental physical mechanisms underlying the Mpemba effect, a phenomenon where a substance cools faster after initially being heated, remain elusive. Although historically linked with water, the Mpemba effect manifests across diverse systems, sparking heightened interest in Mpemba-like phenomena. Concurrently, the Kovacs effect, a memory phenomenon observed in materials such as polymers, involves rapid quenching and subsequent temperature changes, resulting in nonmonotonic relaxation behavior. This paper probes the intricacies of the Mpemba and Kovacs effects within the framework of the time-delayed Newton's law of cooling, recognized as a simplistic yet effective phenomenological model accommodating memory phenomena. This law allows for a nuanced comprehension of temperature variations, introducing a delay time (τ) and incorporating specific protocols for the thermal bath temperature, contingent on a defined waiting time (t_{w}). Remarkably, the relevant parameter space is two-dimensional (τ and t_{w}), with bath temperatures exerting no influence on the presence or absence of the Mpemba effect or on the relative strength of the Kovacs effect. The findings enhance our understanding of these memory phenomena, providing valuable insights applicable to researchers across diverse fields, ranging from physics to materials science.

Abstract
We demonstrate the quantum Mpemba effect in a quantum dot coupled to two reservoirs, described by the Anderson model. We show that the system temperatures starting from two different initial values (hot and cold) cross each other at finite time (and thereby reverse their identities; i.e., hot becomes cold and vice versa) to generate thermal quantum Mpemba effect. The slowest relaxation mode believed to play the dominating role in Mpemba effect in Markovian systems does not contribute to such anomalous relaxation in the present model. In this connection, our analytical result provides necessary condition for producing quantum Mpemba effect in the density matrix elements of the quantum dot, as a combined effect of the remaining relaxation modes.

Abstract
The Mpemba effect refers to the counterintuitive phenomenon of a hotter system equilibrating faster than a colder system when both are quenched to the same low temperature. For a Brownian particle trapped in a piecewise linear single well potential that is devoid of any other metastable minima, we show the existence of the Mpemba effect for a wide range of parameters through an exact solution. This result challenges the prevalent explanation of the Mpemba effect that requires the energy landscape to be rugged with multiple minima. We also demonstrate the existence of inverse and strong Mpemba effects.

Abstract
The Mpemba effect refers to the counterintuitive effect where a system which is initially further from the final steady state equilibrates faster than an identical system that is initially closer. The closeness to the final state is defined in terms of a distance measure. For driven granular systems, the Mpemba effect has been illustrated in terms of an ad hoc measure of mean kinetic energy as the distance function. In this paper, by studying four different distance measures based on the mean kinetic energies as well as velocity distribution, we show that the Mpemba effect depends on the definition of the measures.

Abstract
The Mpemba effect is a fingerprint of the anomalous relaxation phenomenon wherein an initially hotter system equilibrates faster than an initially colder system when both are quenched to the same low temperature. Experiments on a single colloidal particle trapped in a carefully shaped double well potential have demonstrated this effect recently [A. Kumar and J. Bechhoefer, Nature 584, 64 (2020)]. In a similar vein, here, we consider a piece-wise linear double well potential that allows us to demonstrate the Mpemba effect using an exact analysis based on the spectral decomposition of the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. We elucidate the role of the metastable states in the energy landscape as well as the initial population statistics of the particles in showcasing the Mpemba effect. Crucially, our findings indicate that neither the metastability nor the asymmetry in the potential is a necessary or a sufficient condition for the Mpemba effect to be observed.

Abstract
When a hot system cools down faster than an equivalent cold one, it exhibits the Mpemba effect (ME). This counterintuitive phenomenon was observed in several systems including water, magnetic alloys, and polymers. In most experiments the system is coupled to the bath through its boundaries, but all theories so far assumed bulk coupling. Here we build a general framework to characterize anomalous relaxations through boundary coupling, and present two emblematic setups: a diffusing particle and an Ising antiferromagnet. In the latter, we show that the ME can survive even arbitrarily weak couplings.

Abstract
We develop a perturbative technique for solving Markovian quantum dissipative dynamics, with the perturbation parameter being a small gap in the eigenspectrum. As an example, we apply the technique and straightforwardly obtain analytically the dynamics of a three-level system with quasidegenerate excited states, where quantum coherences persist for very long times, proportional to the inverse of the energy splitting squared. We then show how to bypass this long-lived coherent dynamics and accelerate the relaxation to thermal equilibration in a hyper-exponential manner, a Markovian quantum-assisted Mpemba-like effect. This hyperacceleration of the equilibration process manifests if the initial state is carefully prepared, such that its coherences precisely store the amount of population relaxing from the initial condition to the equilibrium state. Our analytical method for solving quantum dissipative dynamics readily provides equilibration timescales, and as such it reveals how coherent and incoherent effects interlace in the dynamics. It further advises on how to accelerate relaxation processes, which is desirable when long-lived quantum coherences stagnate dynamics.

Abstract
The Enskog kinetic theory of multicomponent granular suspensions employed previously [Gómez González, Khalil, and Garzó, Phys. Rev. E 101, 012904 (2020)2470-004510.1103/PhysRevE.101.012904] is considered further to determine the four transport coefficients associated with the heat flux. These transport coefficients are obtained by solving the Enskog equation by means of the application of the Chapman-Enskog method around the local version of the homogeneous state. Explicit forms of the heat flux transport coefficients are provided in steady-state conditions by considering the so-called second Sonine approximation to the distribution function of each species. Their quantitative variation on the control parameters of the mixture (masses and diameters, coefficients of restitution, concentration, volume fraction, and the background temperature) is demonstrated and the results show that in general the dependence of the heat flux transport coefficients on inelasticity is clearly different from that found in the absence of the gas phase (dry granular mixtures). As an application of the general results, the stability of the homogeneous steady state is analyzed by solving the linearized Navier-Stokes hydrodynamic equations. The linear stability analysis (which holds for wavelengths long compared with the mean free path) shows that the transversal and longitudinal modes are always stable with respect to long-enough wavelength excitations. This conclusion agrees with previous results derived for monocomponent and (dilute) bidisperse granular suspensions but contrasts with the instabilities found in previous works in dry (no gas phase) granular mixtures.

Abstract
Loosely speaking, the Mpemba effect appears when hotter systems cool sooner or, in a more abstract way, when systems further from equilibrium relax faster. In this paper, we investigate the Mpemba effect in a molecular gas with nonlinear drag, both analytically (by employing the tools of kinetic theory) and numerically (direct simulation Monte Carlo of the kinetic equation and event-driven molecular dynamics). The analysis is carried out via two alternative routes, recently considered in the literature: first, the kinetic or thermal route, in which the Mpemba effect is characterized by the crossing of the evolution curves of the kinetic temperature (average kinetic energy), and, second, the stochastic thermodynamics or entropic route, in which the Mpemba effect is characterized by the crossing of the distance to equilibrium in probability space. In general, a nonmutual correspondence between the thermal and entropic Mpemba effects is found, i.e., there may appear the thermal effect without its entropic counterpart or vice versa. Furthermore, a nontrivial overshoot with respect to equilibrium of the thermal relaxation makes it necessary to revise the usual definition of the thermal Mpemba effect, which is shown to be better described in terms of the relaxation of the local equilibrium distribution. Our theoretical framework, which involves an extended Sonine approximation in which not only the excess kurtosis but also the sixth cumulant is retained, gives an excellent account of the behavior observed in simulations.

Abstract
We investigate the thermal relaxation of an ideal gas from a nonequilibrium stationary state. The gas is enclosed between two walls, which initially have different temperatures. After making one of the walls adiabatic, the system returns to equilibrium. We notice two distinct modes of heat transport and associated timescales: one connected with a traveling heat front and the other with internal energy diffusion. At the heat front, which moves at the speed of sound, pressure, temperature, and density change abruptly, leaving lower values behind. This is unlike a shock wave, a sound wave, or a thermal wave. The front moves multiple times between the walls and is the dominant heat transport mode until surpassed by diffusion. We found that it can constitute an order 1 factor in shaping the dynamics of the outflow of internal energy. We found that cooling such a system is quicker than heating, and that hotter bodies cool down quicker than colder ones. The latter is known as the Mpemba effect.

Abstract
A cold system normally takes longer to warm up than a cool system. Yet recent theoretical studies have suggested that the reverse may sometimes be possible. Here, using a colloidal particle in a heat bath, we present experimental evidence for this inverse Mpemba effect. By carefully choosing the energy landscape, we can make the cold system heat up exponentially faster than the heating rate of cool systems. While similar behavior has been seen in systems that cool down—the Mpemba effect—we find that entropic effects generally make anomalous heating harder to observe than anomalous cooling. We report anomalous heating in a colloidal system, an experimental observation of the inverse Mpemba effect, where for two initial temperatures lower than the temperature of the thermal bath, the colder of the two systems heats up faster when coupled to the same thermal bath. For an overdamped, Brownian colloidal particle moving in a tilted double-well potential, we find a nonmonotonic dependence of the heating times on the initial temperature of the system. Entropic effects make the inverse Mpemba effect generically weaker—harder to observe—than the usual Mpemba effect (anomalous cooling). We also observe a strong version of anomalous heating, where a cold system heats up exponentially faster than systems prepared under slightly different conditions.

Abstract
We analyze the dynamical evolution of a fluid with nonlinear drag, for which binary collisions are elastic, described at the kinetic level by the Enskog-Fokker-Planck equation. This model system, rooted in the theory of nonlinear Brownian motion, displays a really complex behavior when quenched to low temperatures. Its glassy response is controlled by a long-lived nonequilibrium state, independent of the degree of nonlinearity and also of the Brownian-Brownian collisions rate. The latter property entails that this behavior persists in the collisionless case, where the fluid is described by the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation. The observed response, which includes nonexponential, algebraic, relaxation, and strong memory effects, presents scaling properties: the time evolution of the temperature-for both relaxation and memory effects-falls onto a master curve, regardless of the details of the experiment. To account for the observed behavior in simulations, it is necessary to develop an extended Sonine approximation for the kinetic equation-which considers not only the fourth cumulant but also the sixth one.

Abstract
The Mpemba effect is a counterintuitive relaxation phenomenon whereby a system with a higher initial temperature may cool down to the thermal state faster than an identical system that was initially prepared at a lower temperature. Here, we investigate heat and work in a Markovian state transition system with cyclic switching hot-cold temperatures, which operates as an Otto heat engine working in long but finite time, either with or without the Mpemba effect. Under the condition of the periodic steady state having been reached, the time durations of the heating and cooling relaxation processes are determined by exploring a distance-from-equilibrium equivalent to the Kullback-Leibler divergence. We then numerically evaluate and compare the averages and variances of both the work and the power output of two scenarios with and without the Mpemba effect. The results show that the Markovian Mpemba effect can enhance the machine performance by significantly increasing the power output for a given efficiency without sacrificing the stability.

Abstract
The Mpemba effect is a phenomenon in which an initially hotter sample cools sooner. In this paper, we show the emergence of a non-monotonic Mpemba-like effect in a molecular binary mixture immersed in a viscous gas. Namely, a crossover in the temperature evolution when at least one of the samples presents non-monotonic relaxation. The influence of the bath on the dynamics of the particles is modeled via a viscous drag force plus a stochastic Langevin-like term. Each component of the mixture interchanges energy with the bath depending on the mechanical properties of its particles. This discrimination causes the coupling between the time evolution of temperature with that of the partial temperatures of each component. The non-monotonic Mpemba effect—and its inverse and mixed counterparts—stems from this coupling. In order to obtain analytical results, the velocity distribution functions of each component are approximated by considering multitemperature Maxwellian distributions. The theoretical results derived from the Enskog kinetic theory show an excellent agreement with direct simulation Monte Carlo (DMSC) data.

Abstract
The Mpemba effect (a counterintuitive thermal relaxation process where an initially hotter system may cool down to the steady state sooner than an initially colder system) is studied in terms of a model of inertial suspensions under shear. The relaxation to a common steady state of a suspension initially prepared in a quasiequilibrium state is compared with that of a suspension initially prepared in a nonequilibrium sheared state. Two classes of Mpemba effect are identified, the normal and the anomalous one. The former is generic, in the sense that the kinetic temperature starting from a cold nonequilibrium sheared state is overtaken by the one starting from a hot quasiequilibrium state, due to the absence of initial viscous heating in the latter, resulting in a faster initial cooling. The anomalous Mpemba effect is opposite to the normal one since, despite the initial slower cooling of the nonequilibrium sheared state, it can eventually overtake an initially colder quasiequilibrium state. The theoretical results based on kinetic theory agree with those obtained from event-driven simulations for inelastic hard spheres. It is also confirmed the existence of the inverse Mpemba effect, which is a peculiar heating process, in these suspensions. More particularly, we find the existence of a mixed process in which both heating and cooling can be observed during relaxation.
