Stochastic thermodynamics, fluctuation theorems and molecular machines

U Seifert - Reports on progress in physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for
extending the notions of classical thermodynamics such as work, heat and entropy …

Colloidal heat engines: a review

IA Martínez, É Roldán, L Dinis, RA Rica - Soft matter, 2017 - pubs.rsc.org
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 …

Generalized Jarzynski equality under nonequilibrium feedback control

T Sagawa, M Ueda - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
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 …

Information Processing and the Second Law of Thermodynamics:<? format?> An Inclusive, Hamiltonian Approach

S Deffner, C Jarzynski - Physical Review X, 2013 - APS
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 …

Fluctuation Theorem with Information Exchange: Role of Correlations<? format?> in Stochastic Thermodynamics

T Sagawa, M Ueda - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
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 …

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of feedback control

T Sagawa, M Ueda - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2012 - APS
We establish a general theory of feedback control on classical stochastic thermodynamic
systems and generalize nonequilibrium equalities such as the fluctuation theorem and the …

Stochastic thermodynamics of bipartite systems: transfer entropy inequalities and a Maxwell's demon interpretation

D Hartich, AC Barato, U Seifert - Journal of Statistical Mechanics …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

Information thermodynamics on causal networks

S Ito, T Sagawa - Physical review letters, 2013 - APS
We study nonequilibrium thermodynamics of complex information flows induced by
interactions between multiple fluctuating systems. Characterizing nonequilibrium dynamics …

Thermodynamics of information processing in small systems

T Sagawa - Progress of theoretical physics, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We review a general theory of thermodynamics of information processing. The background
of this topic is the recently-developed nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum …

Unifying three perspectives on information processing in stochastic thermodynamics

AC Barato, U Seifert - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
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 …
