Active systems evade the rules of equilibrium thermodynamics by constantly dissipating
energy at the level of their microscopic components. This energy flux stems from the …

Active matter encompasses systems whose individual constituents dissipate energy to exert
propelling forces on their environment. These systems exhibit dynamical phenomena with …

A fundamental principle of chaotic quantum dynamics is that local subsystems eventually
approach a thermal equilibrium state. The corresponding timescales increase with …

We provide a systematic framework for constructing generic models of nonequilibrium
quantum dynamics with a target stationary (mixed) state. Our framework identifies (almost) …

The physics of non-equilibrium many-body systems is a rapidly expanding area of
theoretical physics. Traditionally employed in laser physics and superconducting kinetics …

These are lecture notes for a series of lectures given at the Les Houches Summer School on
Integrability in Atomic and Condensed Matter Physics, 30 July to 24 August 2018. The same …

Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, the scaling conditions that ensure the emergence of a …

Active-matter systems operate far from equilibrium because of the continuous energy
injection at the scale of constituent particles. At larger scales, described by coarse-grained …

We present the first exact solution for the time-dependent equations of the macroscopic
fluctuation theory (MFT) for the symmetric simple exclusion process by combining a …

Conventional hydrodynamics describes systems with few long-lived excitations. In one
dimension, however, many experimentally relevant systems feature a large number of long …
