Geometry of nonequilibrium reaction networks

S Dal Cengio, V Lecomte, M Polettini - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
The modern thermodynamics of discrete systems is based on graph theory, which provides
both algebraic methods to define observables and a geometric intuition of their meaning and …

Macroscopic stochastic thermodynamics

G Falasco, M Esposito - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.12406, 2023 - arxiv.org
Starting at the mesoscopic level with a general formulation of stochastic thermodynamics in
terms of Markov jump processes, we identify the scaling conditions that ensure the …

Thermodynamic roles of quantum environments: from heat baths to work reservoirs

A Colla, HP Breuer - Quantum Science and Technology, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Environments in quantum thermodynamics usually take the role of heat baths. These baths
are Markovian, weakly coupled to the system, and initialized in a thermal state. Whenever …

Large deviations theory for noisy nonlinear electronics: CMOS inverter as a case study

A Gopal, M Esposito, N Freitas - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
The latest generations of transistors are nanoscale devices whose performance and
reliability are limited by thermal noise in low-power applications. Therefore, developing …

Information flows in macroscopic Maxwell's demons

N Freitas, M Esposito - Physical Review E, 2023 - APS
A CMOS-based implementation of an autonomous Maxwell's demon was recently proposed
[Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 120602 (2022) 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett. 129.120602] to …

Time-correlation functions of stochastic three-sphere micromachines

J Li, Z Zhang, Z Hou, K Yasuda, L He, S Komura - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
We discuss and compare the statistical properties of two stochastic three-sphere
micromachines, ie, odd micromachine and thermal micromachine. We calculate the steady …

On the contribution of work or heat in exchanged energy via interaction in open bipartite quantum systems

B Ahmadi, S Salimi, AS Khorashad - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
The question of with what we associate work and heat in a quantum thermodynamic process
has been extensively discussed, mostly for systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians. In …

[HTML][HTML] Trade-offs between number fluctuations and response in nonequilibrium chemical reaction networks

HM Chun, JM Horowitz - The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2023 - pubs.aip.org
We study the response of chemical reaction networks driven far from equilibrium to
logarithmic perturbations of reaction rates. The response of the mean number of a chemical …

Thermal Macroeconomics: An axiomatic theory of aggregate economic phenomena

NJ Chater, RS MacKay - arXiv preprint arXiv:2412.00886, 2024 - arxiv.org
An axiomatic approach to macroeconomics based on the mathematical structure of
thermodynamics is presented. It deduces relations between aggregate properties of an …

Hybrid algorithm simulating non-equilibrium steady states of an open quantum system

H Zhou, R Mao, X Sun - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.06665, 2023 - arxiv.org
Non-equilibrium steady states are a focal point of research in the study of open quantum
systems. Previous variational algorithms for searching these steady states have suffered …
