Stochastic heat engines can be built using colloidal particles trapped using optical tweezers. Here we review recent experimental realizations of microscopic heat engines. We first revisit …
The Jarzynski equality is generalized to situations in which nonequilibrium systems are subject to a feedback control. The new terms that arise as a consequence of the feedback …
We obtain generalizations of the Kelvin-Planck, Clausius, and Carnot statements of the second law of thermodynamics for situations involving information processing. To this end …
We establish the fluctuation theorem in the presence of information exchange between a nonequilibrium system and other degrees of freedom such as an observer and a feedback …

We establish a general theory of feedback control on classical stochastic thermodynamic systems and generalize nonequilibrium equalities such as the fluctuation theorem and the …

We consider the stationary state of a Markov process on a bipartite system from the perspective of stochastic thermodynamics. One subsystem is used to extract work from a …

We study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of complex information flows induced by interactions between multiple fluctuating systems. Characterizing nonequilibrium dynamics …

We review a general theory of thermodynamics of information processing. The background of this topic is the recently-developed nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum …

So far, feedback-driven systems have been discussed using (i) measurement and control,(ii) a tape interacting with a system, or (iii) by identifying an implicit Maxwell demon in steady …
