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

Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

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 …

Quantum thermodynamics is an emerging research field aiming to extend standard
thermodynamics and non-equilibrium statistical physics to ensembles of sizes well below …

This topical review article gives an overview of the interplay between quantum information
theory and thermodynamics of quantum systems. We focus on several trending topics …

The term 'stress'–coined in 1936–has many definitions, but until now has lacked a
theoretical foundation. Here we present an information-theoretic approach–based on the …

The first comprehensive graduate-level introduction to stochastic thermodynamics
Stochastic thermodynamics is a well-defined subfield of statistical physics that aims to …

Abstract In 1961, Rolf Landauer argued that the erasure of information is a dissipative
process 1. A minimal quantity of heat, proportional to the thermal energy and called the …

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

The first law of thermodynamics imposes not just a constraint on the energy content of
systems in extreme quantum regimes but also symmetry constraints related to the …
