Optimal Control

The animation illustrates a finite-time optimal control protocol for a 1D overdamped Langevin system, showing a Gaussian density traveling along a Wasserstein geodesic from N(−1, 0.8) to N(2, 0.3) while an external potential is dynamically switched on, tracked, and removed. It simultaneously visualizes the accumulation of work via a stacked bar chart that fills to 10.23 kT (9.25
