Out-of-Equilibrium Collective Oscillation as Phonon Condensation in a Model Protein

We describe the activation of out-of-equilibrium collective oscillations of a macromolecule as a classical phonon condensation phenomenon. If a macromolecule is modeled as an open system—that is, it is subjected to an external energy supply and is in contact with a thermal bath to dissipate the exce...
