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

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

During the 1980's there were many developments regarding the nonequilibrium statistical
mechanics of dense classical atomic fluids. These developments have had a major impact …

Optical tweezers are tools made of light that enable contactless pushing, trap**, and
manipulation of objects, ranging from atoms to space light sails. Since the pioneering work …

Fluctuation theorems make use of time reversal to make predictions about entropy
production in many-body systems far from thermal equilibrium. Here we review the wide …

Fluctuation theorems, developed over the past 15 years, have resulted in fundamental
breakthroughs in our understanding of how irreversibility emerges from reversible dynamics …

The ability to implement adiabatic processes in the mesoscale is of key importance in the
study of artificial or biological micro-and nanoengines. Microadiabatic processes have been …

The work fluctuations of an oscillator in contact with a thermostat and driven out of
equilibrium by an external force are studied experimentally and theoretically within the …

We present a complete framework of stochastic thermodynamics for a single-mode linear
optical cavity driven on resonance. We first show that the steady-state intracavity field follows …

The total entropy production generated by the dynamics of an externally driven systems
exchanging energy and matter with multiple reservoirs and described by a master equation …
