Bona fide stochastic resonance without periodic forcing

ORAL

Abstract

We report on the synchronization of Brownian particles in nanoscale bistable potentials in the presence of correlated Poisson noise, with mean interval τP and correlation time τc, mimicking an active bath. The residence time distribution of the particle displays a series of peaks at integral multiples of τP. The peaks are maximal when the mean residence time τd matches the active noise time scales, 4τc≈τP≈τd/2, thereby demonstrating bona fide stochastic resonance in the absence of periodic force.  Additionally, we show that generic stochastic resonance under periodic forcing, known to degrade in strongly correlated continuous noise, is recovered by the discrete nonGaussian kicks.
