By its very nature, the second law of thermodynamics is probabilistic, in that its formulation
requires a probabilistic description of the state of a system. This raises questions about the …

Quantum thermodynamics supplies a consistent description of quantum heat engines and
refrigerators up to a single few-level system coupled to the environment. Once the …

We expand the standard thermodynamic framework of a system coupled to a thermal
reservoir by considering a stream of independently prepared units repeatedly put into …

The essence of both classical and quantum engines is to extract useful energy (work) from
stochastic energy sources, eg, thermal baths. In Maxwell's demon engines, work extraction …

We provide a unified thermodynamic formalism describing information transfers in
autonomous as well as nonautonomous systems described by stochastic thermodynamics …

Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called syntactic information,
which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems. By contrast, the concept …

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 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 …

In a thermodynamic process with measurement and feedback, the second law of
thermodynamics is no longer valid. In its place, various second-law-like inequalities have …
