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 …

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 …

Thermodynamic bound on the asymmetry of cross-correlations

N Ohga, S Ito, A Kolchinsky - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The principle of microscopic reversibility says that, in equilibrium, two-time cross-correlations
are symmetric under the exchange of observables. Thus, the asymmetry of cross …

Irreversibility, heat and information flows induced by non-reciprocal interactions

SAM Loos, SHL Klapp - New Journal of Physics, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

The role of kinetic asymmetry and power strokes in an information ratchet

L Binks, S Borsley, TR Gingrich, DA Leigh… - Chem, 2023 - cell.com
Biomolecular machines are driven by information ratchet mechanisms, where kinetic
asymmetry in the machine's chemomechanical cycle of fuel-to-waste catalysis induces net …

Escherichia coli chemotaxis is information limited

HH Mattingly, K Kamino, BB Machta, T Emonet - Nature physics, 2021 - nature.com
Organisms acquire and use information from their environment to guide their behaviour.
However, it is unclear whether this information quantitatively limits their performance at …

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 …

Stochastic time evolution, information geometry, and the Cramér-Rao bound

S Ito, A Dechant - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We investigate the connection between the time evolution of averages of stochastic
quantities and the Fisher information and its induced statistical length. As a consequence of …

Geometrical aspects of entropy production in stochastic thermodynamics based on Wasserstein distance

M Nakazato, S Ito - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
We study a relationship between optimal transport theory and stochastic thermodynamics for
the Fokker-Planck equation. We show that the lower bound on the entropy production is the …

Cost and precision of Brownian clocks

AC Barato, U Seifert - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
Brownian clocks are biomolecular networks that can count time. A paradigmatic example are
proteins that go through a cycle, thus regulating some oscillatory behavior in a living system …
