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 …

Experiments in stochastic thermodynamics: Short history and perspectives

S Ciliberto - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relation for biomolecular processes

AC Barato, U Seifert - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
Biomolecular systems like molecular motors or pumps, transcription and translation
machinery, and other enzymatic reactions, can be described as Markov processes on a …

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 …

Physical bioenergetics: Energy fluxes, budgets, and constraints in cells

X Yang, M Heinemann, J Howard… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Cells are the basic units of all living matter which harness the flow of energy to drive the
processes of life. While the biochemical networks involved in energy transduction are well …

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 …

Theory of nonequilibrium free energy transduction by molecular machines

AI Brown, DA Sivak - Chemical reviews, 2019 - ACS Publications
Biomolecular machines are protein complexes that convert between different forms of free
energy. They are utilized in nature to accomplish many cellular tasks. As isothermal …

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 …

Uncertainty relations in stochastic processes: An information inequality approach

Y Hasegawa, T Van Vu - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
The thermodynamic uncertainty relation is an inequality stating that it is impossible to attain
higher precision than the bound defined by entropy production. In statistical inference …

Statistics of infima and stopping times of entropy production and applications to active molecular processes

I Neri, É Roldán, F Jülicher - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
We study the statistics of infima, stopping times, and passage probabilities of entropy
production in nonequilibrium steady states, and we show that they are universal. We …
