Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

In equilibrium thermodynamics, there exists a well-established connection between
dynamical fluctuations of a physical system and the dissipation of its energy into an …

Thermodynamics serves as a universal means for studying physical systems from an energy
perspective. In recent years, with the establishment of the field of stochastic and quantum …

Quantum heat engines are subjected to quantum fluctuations related to their discrete energy
spectra. Such fluctuations question the reliable operation of thermal machines in the …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

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 …

The dynamic energy balance on the earth is jointly governed by solar energy harvesting and
radiative sky cooling. Mainstream solar energy technologies, including photovoltaic …

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 …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) place strict bounds on the fluctuations of
thermodynamic quantities in terms of the associated entropy production. In this Letter, we …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations yield a lower bound on entropy production in terms of
the mean and fluctuations of a current. We derive their general form for systems under …
