At the dawn of thermodynamics, Carnot's constraint on efficiency of heat engines stimulated
the formulation of one of the most universal physical principles, the second law of …

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 …

We derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) for systems with unidirectional
transitions. The uncertainty relation involves a mixture of thermodynamic and dynamic terms …

We study a class of system composed of interacting unicyclic machines placed in contact
with a hot and cold thermal baths subjected to a nonconservative driving worksource …

We introduce an alternative route for obtaining reliable cyclic engines, based on two
interacting Brownian particles under time-periodic drivings which can be used as a work-to …

Measuring entropy production of a system directly from the experimental data is highly
desirable since it gives a quantifiable measure of the time-irreversibility for non-equilibrium …

The performance of endoreversible thermal machines operating at finite power constitutes
one of the main challenges of nonequilibrium classical and quantum thermodynamics …

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation originally proven for systems driven into a non-
equilibrium steady state (NESS) allows one to infer the total entropy production rate by …

Over the last few decades, stochastic thermodynamics has emerged as a framework to study
the thermodynamics of small-scaled systems. The relation between entropy production and …

We investigate the work fluctuations in an overdamped non-equilibrium process that is
stopped at a stochastic time. The latter is characterised by a first passage event that marks …
