Thermodynamics of information

JMR Parrondo, JM Horowitz, T Sagawa - Nature physics, 2015 - nature.com
By its very nature, the second law of thermodynamics is probabilistic, in that its formulation
requires a probabilistic description of the state of a system. This raises questions about the …

Broken detailed balance and non-equilibrium dynamics in living systems: a review

FS Gnesotto, F Mura, J Gladrow… - Reports on Progress in …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Living systems operate far from thermodynamic equilibrium. Enzymatic activity can induce
broken detailed balance at the molecular scale. This molecular scale breaking of detailed …

Thermodynamic bound on the asymmetry of cross-correlations

N Ohga, S Ito, A Kolchinsky - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The principle of microscopic reversibility says that, in equilibrium, two-time cross-correlations
are symmetric under the exchange of observables. Thus, the asymmetry of cross …

Thermodynamics with continuous information flow

JM Horowitz, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
We provide a unified thermodynamic formalism describing information transfers in
autonomous as well as nonautonomous systems described by stochastic thermodynamics …

Semantic information, autonomous agency and non-equilibrium statistical physics

A Kolchinsky, DH Wolpert - Interface focus, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called syntactic information,
which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems. By contrast, the concept …

Estimating entropy production by machine learning of short-time fluctuating currents

S Otsubo, S Ito, A Dechant, T Sagawa - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) are the inequalities which give lower bounds
on the entropy production rate using only the mean and the variance of fluctuating currents …

Stochastic time evolution, information geometry, and the Cramér-Rao bound

S Ito, A Dechant - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
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 …

Geometrical aspects of entropy production in stochastic thermodynamics based on Wasserstein distance

M Nakazato, S Ito - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
We study a relationship between optimal transport theory and stochastic thermodynamics for
the Fokker-Planck equation. We show that the lower bound on the entropy production is the …

Cost and precision of Brownian clocks

AC Barato, U Seifert - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
Brownian clocks are biomolecular networks that can count time. A paradigmatic example are
proteins that go through a cycle, thus regulating some oscillatory behavior in a living system …

Quantum fluctuation theorems beyond two-point measurements

K Micadei, GT Landi, E Lutz - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
We derive detailed and integral quantum fluctuation theorems for heat exchange in a
quantum correlated bipartite thermal system using the framework of dynamic Bayesian …
