Thermodynamic bounds on generalized transport: From single-molecule to bulk observables

C Dieball, A Godec - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We prove that the transport of any differentiable scalar observable in d-dimensional
nonequilibrium systems is bounded from above by the total entropy production scaled by the …

For a network of discrete states with a periodically driven Markovian dynamics, we develop
an inference scheme for an external observer who has access to some transitions. Based on …

Dissipation, quantum coherence, and asymmetry of finite-time cross-correlations

T Van Vu, VT Vo, K Saito - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
Recent studies have revealed a deep connection between the asymmetry of cross-

Thermodynamic bound on spectral perturbations, with applications to oscillations and relaxation dynamics

A Kolchinsky, N Ohga, S Ito - Physical Review Research, 2024 - APS
In discrete-state Markovian systems, many important properties of correlation functions and
