At the dawn of thermodynamics, Carnot's constraint on efficiency of heat engines stimulated
the formulation of one of the most universal physical principles, the second law of …

It is investigated whether non-Markovianity, ie, the memory effects resulting from the
coupling of the system to its environment, can be beneficial for the performance of quantum …

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation, originally derived for classical Markov-jump
processes, provides a tradeoff relation between precision and dissipation, deepening our …

Fluctuations of thermodynamic quantities become non-negligible and play an important role
when the system size is small. We develop finite-time thermodynamics of fluctuations in …

We study the time evolution of thermodynamic observables that characterise the dissipative
nature of thermal relaxation after an instantaneous temperature quench. Combining tools …

We study a class of system composed of interacting unicyclic machines placed in contact
with a hot and cold thermal baths subjected to a nonconservative driving worksource …

When analysing statistical systems or stochastic processes, it is often interesting to ask how
they behave given that some observable takes some prescribed value. This conditioning …

The latest generations of transistors are nanoscale devices whose performance and
reliability are limited by thermal noise in low-power applications. Therefore, developing …

The study of Brownian ratchets has taught how time-periodic driving supports a time-
periodic steady state that generates nonequilibrium transport. When a single particle is …

Discontinuous phase transitions out of equilibrium can be characterized by the behavior of
macroscopic stochastic currents. But while much is known about the average current, the …
