Thermodynamics of information

JMR Parrondo, JM Horowitz, T Sagawa - Nature physics, 2015 - nature.com
By its very nature, the second law of thermodynamics is probabilistic, in that its formulation
requires a probabilistic description of the state of a system. This raises questions about the …

Broken detailed balance and non-equilibrium dynamics in living systems: a review

FS Gnesotto, F Mura, J Gladrow… - Reports on Progress in …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

Thermodynamic inference in partially accessible Markov networks: a unifying perspective from transition-based waiting time distributions

J Van der Meer, B Ertel, U Seifert - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
The inference of thermodynamic quantities from the description of an only partially
accessible physical system is a central challenge in stochastic thermodynamics. A common …

Quantum and information thermodynamics: A unifying framework based on repeated interactions

P Strasberg, G Schaller, T Brandes, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

What to learn from a few visible transitions' statistics?

PE Harunari, A Dutta, M Polettini, É Roldán - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Interpreting partial information collected from systems subject to noise is a key problem
across scientific disciplines. Theoretical frameworks often focus on the dynamics of variables …

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 …

Universal trade-off relation between power and efficiency for heat engines

N Shiraishi, K Saito, H Tasaki - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
For a general thermodynamic system described as a Markov process, we prove a general
lower bound for dissipation in terms of the square of the heat current, thus establishing that …

Speed limit for classical stochastic processes

N Shiraishi, K Funo, K Saito - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
We consider the speed limit for classical stochastic Markov processes with and without the
local detailed balance condition. We find that, for both cases, a trade-off inequality exists …

Estimating entropy production by machine learning of short-time fluctuating currents

S Otsubo, S Ito, A Dechant, T Sagawa - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) are the inequalities which give lower bounds
on the entropy production rate using only the mean and the variance of fluctuating currents …

Entropy production estimation with optimal current

T Van Vu, VT Vo, Y Hasegawa - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Entropy production characterizes the thermodynamic irreversibility and reflects the amount
of heat dissipated into the environment and free energy lost in nonequilibrium systems …
