Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for
extending the notions of classical thermodynamics such as work, heat and entropy …

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 …

We consider a Brownian particle which, in addition to being in contact with a thermal bath, is
driven by fluctuating forces which stem from active processes in the system, such as self …

Artificial microscale heat engines are prototypical models to explore the mechanisms of
energy transduction in a fluctuation-dominated regime,. The heat engines realized so far on …

A Stirling engine made of a colloidal particle in contact with a nonequilibrium bath is
considered and analyzed with the tools of stochastic energetics. We model the bath by non …

A colloidal particle immersed in a bath of bacteria is a typical example of a passive particle
in an active bath. To model this, we take an overdamped harmonically trapped particle …

For a wide class of stochastic athermal systems, we derive Langevin-like equations driven
by non-Gaussian noise, starting from master equations and developing a new asymptotic …

The recently developed feedback trap can be used to create arbitrary virtual potentials, to
explore the dynamics of small particles or large molecules in complex situations …

Path integrals are a central tool when it comes to describing quantum or thermal fluctuations
of particles or fields. Their success dates back to Feynman who showed how to use them …

Abstract The famous Itô–Stratonovich dilemma arises when one examines a dynamical
system with a multiplicative white noise. In physics literature, this dilemma is often resolved …
