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 …

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation expresses a seemingly universal trade-off between
the cost for driving an autonomous system and precision in any output observable. It has so …

The modern thermodynamics of discrete systems is based on graph theory, which provides
both algebraic methods to define observables and a geometric intuition of their meaning and …

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 present a comprehensive study about the relationship between the way detailed
balance is broken in non-equilibrium systems and the resulting violations of the fluctuation …

Shortcuts to isothermality provide a powerful method to speed up quasistatic thermodynamic
processes within finite-time manipulation. We employ the shortcut strategy to design and …

Measuring entropy production of a system directly from the experimental data is highly
desirable since it gives a quantifiable measure of the time-irreversibility for non-equilibrium …

We provide a general theory of nonlinear electronic circuits subjected to thermal noise. The
devices constituting the circuit can have arbitrary IV curves but must display shot noise. This …

By using Floquet driving protocols and interlacing them with a judicious reservoir emission
engineering, we achieve extreme nonreciprocal thermal radiation. We show that the latter is …

Starting with the Carnot engine, the ideal efficiency of a heat engine has been associated
with quasistatic transformations and vanishingly small output power. Here, we exactly …
