Equalities and inequalities: Irreversibility and the second law of thermodynamics at the nanoscale
The reason we never observe violations of the second law of thermodynamics is a matter of

Irreversibility in active matter systems: Fluctuation theorem and mutual information
We consider a Brownian particle which, in addition to being in contact with a thermal bath, is
driven by fluctuating forces which stem from active processes in the system, such as self …

Nonequilibrium fluctuations, fluctuation theorems, and counting statistics in quantum systems
Fluctuation theorems (FTs), which describe some universal properties of nonequilibrium
fluctuations, are examined from a quantum perspective and derived by introducing a two …

Estimating entropy production from waiting time distributions
Living systems operate far from thermal equilibrium by converting the chemical potential of
ATP into mechanical work to achieve growth, replication, or locomotion. Given time series …

Inferring entropy production from short experiments
We provide a strategy for the exact inference of the average as well as the fluctuations of the
entropy production in nonequilibrium systems in the steady state, from the measurements of …

Improved bounds on entropy production in living systems
Living systems maintain or increase local order by working against the second law of

Stochastic time evolution, information geometry, and the Cramér-Rao bound
We investigate the connection between the time evolution of averages of stochastic
quantities and the Fisher information and its induced statistical length. As a consequence of …

Three detailed fluctuation theorems
The total entropy production of a trajectory can be split into an adiabatic and a nonadiabatic
contribution, deriving, respectively, from the breaking of detailed balance via nonequilibrium …
