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

We review various bounds concerning out-of-equilibrium dynamics in few-level and many-
body quantum systems. We primarily focus on closed quantum systems but will also mention …

The fluctuation theorem is the fundamental equality in nonequilibrium thermodynamics that
is used to derive many important thermodynamic relations, such as the second law of …

The efficiency of an heat engine is traditionally defined as the ratio of its average output work
over its average input heat. Its highest possible value was discovered by Carnot in 1824 and …

We derive detailed and integral quantum fluctuation theorems for heat exchange in a
quantum correlated bipartite thermal system using the framework of dynamic Bayesian …

Using the fluctuation theorem supplemented with geometric arguments, we derive universal
features of the (long-time) efficiency fluctuations for thermal and isothermal machines …

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 …

Starting from the most general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics—ie a
thermodynamically consistent nonautonomous stochastic dynamics describing systems in …

We present a comprehensive study of the symmetries of the generating functionals of
generic Langevin processes with multiplicative colored noise. We treat both Martin–Siggia …

Nanoscale machines are strongly influenced by thermal fluctuations, contrary to their
macroscopic counterparts. As a consequence, even the efficiency of such microscopic …
