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 …

Multi-component molecular machines are ubiquitous in biology. We review recent progress
on describing their thermodynamic properties using autonomous bipartite Markovian …

The relationship between the thermodynamic and computational properties of physical
systems has been a major theoretical interest since at least the 19th century. It has also …

Information engines can convert thermal fluctuations of a bath at temperature T into work at
rates of order k BT per relaxation time of the system. We show experimentally that such …

We propose a quantum harmonic oscillator measurement engine fueled by simultaneous
quantum measurements of the noncommuting position and momentum quadratures of the …

We have experimentally realized an information engine consisting of an optically trapped,
heavy bead in water. The device raises the trap center after a favorable “up” thermal …

The Curzon-Ahlborn (CA) efficiency, as the efficiency at the maximum power (EMP) of the
endoreversible Carnot engine, has significant impact on finite-time thermodynamics …

Successful feedback control of small systems allows for the rectification of thermal
fluctuations, converting them into useful energy; however, control itself requires work. This …

Here, I discuss entropy and its use as a tool in fields of biology such as bioenergetics,
ecology, and evolutionary biology. Statistical entropy concepts including Shannon's …

Optimizing the performance of thermal machines is an essential task of thermodynamics. We
here consider the optimization of information engines that convert information about the …
