Entropy production is a key quantity in any finite-time thermodynamic process. It is intimately
tied with the fundamental laws of thermodynamics, embodying a tool to extend …

We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the
theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski …

Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in
terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations …

The study of open quantum systems often relies on approximate master equations derived
under the assumptions of weak coupling to the environment. However when the system is …

Two fundamental ingredients play a decisive role in the foundation of fluctuation relations:
the principle of microreversibility and the fact that thermal equilibrium is described by the …

Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

Fluctuation theorems (FTs), which describe some universal properties of nonequilibrium
fluctuations, are examined from a quantum perspective and derived by introducing a two …

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) place strict bounds on the fluctuations of
thermodynamic quantities in terms of the associated entropy production. In this Letter, we …
