Experiments in stochastic thermodynamics: Short history and perspectives

S Ciliberto - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

Stochastic thermodynamics, fluctuation theorems and molecular machines

U Seifert - Reports on progress in physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for
extending the notions of classical thermodynamics such as work, heat and entropy …

Equalities and inequalities: Irreversibility and the second law of thermodynamics at the nanoscale

C Jarzynski - Time: Poincaré Seminar 2010, 2012 - Springer
The reason we never observe violations of the second law of thermodynamics is a matter of
statistics: When very many degrees of freedom are involved, the odds are overwhelmingly …

From stochastic thermodynamics to thermodynamic inference

U Seifert - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2019 - annualreviews.org
For a large class of nonequilibrium systems, thermodynamic notions like work, heat, and, in
particular, entropy production can be identified on the level of fluctuating dynamical …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relation for time-dependent driving

T Koyuk, U Seifert - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations yield a lower bound on entropy production in terms of
the mean and fluctuations of a current. We derive their general form for systems under …

Second law and Landauer principle far from equilibrium

M Esposito, C Van den Broeck - Europhysics Letters, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The amount of work that is needed to change the state of a system in contact with a heat
bath between specified initial and final nonequilibrium states is at least equal to the …

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of chemical reaction networks: Wisdom from stochastic thermodynamics

R Rao, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
We build a rigorous nonequilibrium thermodynamic description for open chemical reaction
networks of elementary reactions. Their dynamics is described by deterministic rate …

Information Processing and the Second Law of Thermodynamics:<? format?> An Inclusive, Hamiltonian Approach

S Deffner, C Jarzynski - Physical Review X, 2013 - APS
We obtain generalizations of the Kelvin-Planck, Clausius, and Carnot statements of the
second law of thermodynamics for situations involving information processing. To this end …

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of feedback control

T Sagawa, M Ueda - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2012 - APS
We establish a general theory of feedback control on classical stochastic thermodynamic
systems and generalize nonequilibrium equalities such as the fluctuation theorem and the …

Is stochastic thermodynamics the key to understanding the energy costs of computation?

DH Wolpert, J Korbel, CW Lynn, F Tasnim… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - pnas.org
The relationship between the thermodynamic and computational properties of physical
systems has been a major theoretical interest since at least the 19th century. It has also …
