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

Stationary nonequilibrium states describe steady flows through macroscopic systems.
Although they represent the simplest generalization of equilibrium states, they exhibit a …

Thermodynamics serves as a universal means for studying physical systems from an energy
perspective. In recent years, with the establishment of the field of stochastic and quantum …

We investigate the problem of minimizing the entropy production for a physical process that
can be described in terms of a Markov jump dynamics. We show that, without any further …

We experimentally study the motion of light-activated colloidal microswimmers in a
viscoelastic fluid. We find that, in such a non-Newtonian environment, the active colloids …

Two qualitatively different ways of driving a physical system out of equilibrium, ie, time-
dependent and nonconservative forcing, are reflected by the decomposition of the system's …

We propose a housekeeping/excess decomposition of entropy production for general
nonlinear dynamics in a discrete space, including chemical reaction networks and discrete …

We investigate the tightness and optimality of thermodynamic-uncertainty-relation (TUR)-
type inequalities from two aspects, the choice of the Fisher information and the class of …

Methods of stochastic thermodynamics and hydrodynamics are applied to a recently
introduced model of active particles. The model consists of an overdamped particle subject …

Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, we identify the scaling conditions that ensure the …
