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 …

We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard
thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below …

The first comprehensive graduate-level introduction to stochastic thermodynamics
Stochastic thermodynamics is a well-defined subfield of statistical physics that aims to …

Electronic circuits operating at sub-kelvin temperatures are attractive candidates for studying
classical and quantum thermodynamics: their temperature can be controlled and measured …

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 …

Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

We present an experimental realization of an autonomous Maxwell's demon, which extracts
microscopic information from a system and reduces its entropy by applying feedback. It is …

In apparent contradiction to the laws of thermodynamics, Maxwell's demon is able to
cyclically extract work from a system in contact with a thermal bath, exploiting the information …

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 …
