Stationary nonequilibrium states describe steady flows through macroscopic systems.
Although they represent the simplest generalization of equilibrium states, they exhibit a …

Two qualitatively different ways of driving a physical system out of equilibrium, ie, time-
dependent and nonconservative forcing, are reflected by the decomposition of the system's …

Methods of stochastic thermodynamics and hydrodynamics are applied to a recently
introduced model of active particles. The model consists of an overdamped particle subject …

We review recent progress in optimal control in stochastic thermodynamics. Theoretical
advances provide in-depth insight into minimum-dissipation control with either full or limited …

In the past three decades, the field of stochastic thermodynamics has been formulated and
highly developed. Stochastic thermodynamics extends the framework of thermodynamics …

We discuss via general arguments and examples when and why the steady nonequilibrium
heat capacity vanishes with temperature. The framework is that of Markov jump processes …

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 …

We provide the theoretical basis of calorimetry for a class of active particles subject to
thermal noise. Simulating AC-calorimetry, we numerically evaluate the heat capacity of run …

We consider fluctuations of the time-averaged current in the one-dimensional weakly
asymmetric exclusion process on a ring. The optimal density profile which sustains a given …

Transitions between nonequilibrium steady states obey a generalized Clausius inequality,
which becomes an equality in the quasistatic limit. For slow but finite transitions, we show …
