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

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 …

Dissipation bounds all steady-state current fluctuations

TR Gingrich, JM Horowitz, N Perunov, JL England - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS
Near equilibrium, small current fluctuations are described by a Gaussian distribution with a
linear-response variance regulated by the dissipation. Here, we demonstrate that dissipation …

Accessing activity and viscoelastic properties of artificial and living systems from passive measurement

TM Muenker, G Knotz, M Krüger, T Betz - Nature Materials, 2024 - nature.com
Living systems are complex dynamic entities that operate far from thermodynamic
equilibrium. Their active, non-equilibrium behaviour requires energy to drive cellular …

Fluctuation theorem uncertainty relation

Y Hasegawa, T Van Vu - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The fluctuation theorem is the fundamental equality in nonequilibrium thermodynamics that
is used to derive many important thermodynamic relations, such as the second law of …

Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics: from a paradigmatic model to biological transport

T Chou, K Mallick, RKP Zia - Reports on progress in physics, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
Unlike equilibrium statistical mechanics, with its well-established foundations, a similar
widely accepted framework for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics (NESM) remains …

Nonequilibrium Markov processes conditioned on large deviations

R Chetrite, H Touchette - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2015 - Springer
We consider the problem of conditioning a Markov process on a rare event and of
representing this conditioned process by a conditioning-free process, called the effective or …

Fluctuation–dissipation: response theory in statistical physics

UMB Marconi, A Puglisi, L Rondoni, A Vulpiani - Physics reports, 2008 - Elsevier
General aspects of the Fluctuation–Dissipation Relation (FDR), and Response Theory are
considered. After analyzing the conceptual and historical relevance of fluctuations in …

Macroscopic stochastic thermodynamics

G Falasco, M Esposito - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2025 - APS
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 …

Stochastic thermodynamics: principles and perspectives

U Seifert - The European Physical Journal B, 2008 - Springer
Stochastic thermodynamics provides a framework for describing small systems like colloids
or biomolecules driven out of equilibrium but still in contact with a heat bath. Both, a first-law …
