Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for
extending the notions of classical thermodynamics such as work, heat and entropy …

Landauer's bound is the minimum thermodynamic cost for erasing one bit of information. As
this bound is achievable only for quasistatic processes, finite-time operation incurs …

Macroscopic cyclic heat engines have been a major motivation for the emergence of
thermodynamics. In the past decade, cyclic heat engines that have large fluctuations and …

We review the basic properties of the quantum relative entropy for finite-dimensional Hilbert
spaces. In particular, we focus on several inequalities that are related to the second law of …

We present a general method to identify an arbitrary number of fluctuating quantities which
satisfy a detailed fluctuation theorem for all times within the framework of time …

We show that the total entropy production in stochastic processes with odd-parity
variables<? format?>(under time reversal) is separated into three parts, only two of which …

We study liquid-gas transitions of heat conduction systems in contact with two heat baths
under constant pressure in the linear response regime. On the basis of local equilibrium …

We derive various exact results for Markovian systems that spontaneously relax to a non-
equilibrium steady state by using joint probability distribution symmetries of different entropy …

We present a general framework for systems which are prepared in a nonstationary
nonequilibrium state in the absence of any perturbation and which are then further driven …

We extend previous work to describe a class of fluctuation relations (FRs) that emerge as a
consequence of symmetries at the level of stochastic trajectories in Markov chains. We prove …
