Stochastic heat engines can be built using colloidal particles trapped using optical tweezers.
Here we review recent experimental realizations of microscopic heat engines. We first revisit …

Artificial microscale heat engines are prototypical models to explore the mechanisms of
energy transduction in a fluctuation-dominated regime,. The heat engines realized so far on …

We study the thermodynamic properties induced by non-reciprocal interactions between
stochastic degrees of freedom in time-and space-continuous systems. We show that, under …

We study the heat transfer between two nanoparticles held at different temperatures that
interact through nonreciprocal forces, by combining molecular dynamics simulations with …

A Stirling engine made of a colloidal particle in contact with a nonequilibrium bath is
considered and analyzed with the tools of stochastic energetics. We model the bath by non …

The transport properties of an extended system driven by active reservoirs is an issue of
paramount importance, which remains virtually unexplored. Here we address this issue, for …

For a wide class of stochastic athermal systems, we derive Langevin-like equations driven
by non-Gaussian noise, starting from master equations and develo** a new asymptotic …

A long-standing open problem whether a heat engine with finite power achieves the Carnot
efficiency is investgated. We rigorously prove a general trade-off inequality on …

Abstract The famous Itô–Stratonovich dilemma arises when one examines a dynamical
system with a multiplicative white noise. In physics literature, this dilemma is often resolved …

Symmetries constrain dynamics. We test this fundamental physical principle, experimentally
and by molecular dynamics simulations, for a hot Janus swimmer operating far from thermal …
