Bottleneck flows of pedestrians and grains Alexandre Nicolas (LPTMS, Université Paris-Sud) Simple models from Statistical Physics can be surprisingly useful to study practical problems that lie outside the traditional realm of Physics. I will illustrate this statement with two distinct (yet related!) examples: granular flows through a constriction and competitive passages of pedestrians through a […]

Thermodynamic bounds on the statistics of first-passage times and extreme values of stochastic processes Izaak Neri (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Allemagne)   Stochastic thermodynamics generalizes concepts from thermodynamics, and makes them useful to study mesoscopic systems driven far from thermal equilibrium, such as, optically driven colloidal particles, noisy processes
