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 …

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

During the 1980's there were many developments regarding the nonequilibrium statistical
mechanics of dense classical atomic fluids. These developments have had a major impact …

These lecture notes give a short review of methods such as the matrix ansatz, the additivity
principle or the macroscopic fluctuation theory, developed recently in the theory of non …

We review the concept of dynamical ensembles in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics as
specified from an action functional or Lagrangian on spacetime. There, under local detailed …

We derive the Markovian description for the nonequilibrium Brownian motion of a heated
nanoparticle in a simple solvent with a temperature-dependent viscosity. Our analytical …

Thermodynamics, a scientific discipline inherited from the 18th century, is facing new
challenges in the description of nonequilibrium small (sometimes also called mesoscopic) …

When two or more objects move relative to one another in vacuum, they experience a drag
force, which, at zero temperature, usually goes under the name of quantum friction. This …

Charge carrier mobility is a central property that characterizes the performances of organic
semiconductors and is mostly measured in field‐effect transistors. High mobility values are …
