Stochastic thermodynamics lays down a broad framework to revisit the venerable concepts
of heat, work and entropy production for individual stochastic trajectories of mesoscopic …

We present the fundamentals of geometrothermodynamics, an approach to study the
properties of thermodynamic systems in terms of differential geometric concepts. It is based …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations express a trade-off between precision, defined as the
noise-to-signal ratio of a generic current, and the amount of associated entropy production …

After starting a reciprocating heat engine it eventually settles to a stable mode of operation.
A first principle quantum heat engine also approaches this stable limit cycle. The studied …

A simple example of a four‐stroke engine operated in finite‐time is analyzed. The working
medium consists of noninteracting two‐level systems or harmonic oscillators. The cycle of …

In this work, we study the thermodynamic geodesics of 4D asymptotically anti-de Sitter black
holes in the context of the geometrothermodynamics (GTD) type II metric. We construct GTD …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of geometrical thermodynamics, which
employs geometric concepts to study the thermodynamic properties of physical systems. The …

For an arbitrary finite-time thermodynamic or information-based process we derive a lower
bound on cumulative entropy production, as well as the associated optimal operating …

Arguments are presented to the effect that the optimal annealing schedule for simulated
annealing proceeds with constant thermodynamic speed, ie, with d T dt=-(vT)(ϵ C), where T …

We look into the minimization of the connection time between nonequilibrium steady states.
As a prototypical example of an intrinsically nonequilibrium system, a driven granular gas is …
