Feedback for physicists: A tutorial essay on control
TLDR
In this paper, a tutorial essay aims to give enough of the formal elements of control theory to satisfy the experimentalist designing or running a typical physics experiment and enough to satisfy a theorist wishing to understand its broader intellectual context.Abstract:
Feedback and control theory are important ideas that should form part of the education of a physicist but rarely do. This tutorial essay aims to give enough of the formal elements of control theory to satisfy the experimentalist designing or running a typical physics experiment and enough to satisfy the theorist wishing to understand its broader intellectual context. The level is generally simple, although more advanced methods are also introduced. Several types of applications are discussed, as the practical uses of feedback extend far beyond the simple regulation problems where it is most often employed. Sketches are then provided of some of the broader implications and applications of control theory, especially in biology, which are topics of active research.read more

Dissipation Reduction and Information-to-Measurement Conversion in DNA Pulling Experiments with Feedback Protocols
Marc Rico-Pasto,Regina Schmitt,Marco Ribezzi-Crivellari,Juan M. R. Parrondo,Heiner Linke,Jonas Johansson,Felix Ritort +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general feedback protocol based on multiple measurements that includes either discrete-time or continuous-time feedback is proposed to reduce the dissipation of DNA hairpins with optical tweezers.

Cavityless self-organization of ultracold atoms due to the feedback-induced phase transition
TL;DR: In this article, a Bose-Einstein condensate is placed in an optical potential with the depth that is feedback-controlled according to the intensity of the Bragg-reflected probe light.

Dynamics of Nonlinear Feedback Control
H.P. Snippe,J.H. van Hateren +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare models in which the input is multiplied by a dynamic gain (multiplicative control) with models with a dynamic attenuation (divisive control), and find conditions under which overshoots and undershoots of the output relative to the steady-state output occur when the models are stimulated with low-pass filtered steps.
Monte Carlo Simulations of Single-Molecule Fluorescence Detection Experiments
TL;DR: In this article, Monte Carlo simulations of the physical processes that occur during the delivery and trapping of a single-molecule solution are presented to understand the constraints imposed by experimental limitations, such as the latency of feedback, the maximum achievable speed of electrokinetic flow, and photophysical processes such as triplet crossing and photobleaching.

Statistical mechanics of complex networks
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.

The Structure and Function of Complex Networks
TL;DR: Developments in this field are reviewed, including such concepts as the small-world effect, degree distributions, clustering, network correlations, random graph models, models of network growth and preferential attachment, and dynamical processes taking place on networks.
