Quantum technologies need a quantum energy initiative

A Auffèves - PRX Quantum, 2022 - APS
Quantum technologies are currently the object of high expectations from governments and
private companies, as they hold the promise to shape safer and faster ways to extract …

Circuit theory for chemical reaction networks

F Avanzini, N Freitas, M Esposito - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We lay the foundation of a circuit theory for chemical reaction networks. Chemical reactions
are grouped into chemical modules solely characterized by their current-concentration …

Mutual linearity of nonequilibrium network currents

PE Harunari, S Dal Cengio, V Lecomte, M Polettini - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
For continuous-time Markov chains and open unimolecular chemical reaction networks, we
prove that any two stationary currents are linearly related upon perturbations of a single …

General theory of static response for markov jump processes

T Aslyamov, M Esposito - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We consider Markov jump processes on a graph described by a rate matrix that depends on
various control parameters. We derive explicit expressions for the static responses of edge …

Thermodynamic computing via autonomous quantum thermal machines

P Lipka-Bartosik, M Perarnau-Llobet, N Brunner - Science Advances, 2024 - science.org
We develop a physics-based model for classical computation based on autonomous
quantum thermal machines. These machines consist of few interacting quantum bits (qubits) …

Dissipation bounds precision of current response to kinetic perturbations

K Ptaszyński, T Aslyamov, M Esposito - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The precision of currents in Markov networks is bounded by dissipation via the so-called
thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR). In our Letter, we demonstrate a similar inequality …

Is stochastic thermodynamics the key to understanding the energy costs of computation?

DH Wolpert, J Korbel, CW Lynn, F Tasnim… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - pnas.org
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 …

Uncovering nonequilibrium from unresolved events

PE Harunari - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
Closely related to the laws of thermodynamics, the detection and quantification of
disequilibria are crucial in unraveling the complexities of nature, particularly those beneath …

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 …

Effective estimation of entropy production with lacking data

M Baiesi, T Nishiyama, G Falasco - Communications Physics, 2024 - nature.com
Observing stochastic trajectories with rare transitions between states, practically
undetectable on time scales accessible to experiments, makes it impossible to directly …
