Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorems for Multiphase Flow in Porous Media
Entropy, 2021 A thermodynamic description of porous media must handle the size- and shape-dependence of media properties, in particular on the nano-scale. Such dependencies are typically due to the presence of immiscible phases, contact areas and contact lines.

Stochastic thermodynamics and fluctuation theorems for non-linear systems
New Journal of Physics, 2021 We extend stochastic thermodynamics by relaxing the two assumptions that the Markovian dynamics must be linear and that the equilibrium distribution must be a Boltzmann distribution.

Fluctuation theorem between non-equilibrium states in an RC circuit
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Fluctuation theorems impose constraints on the probability of observing negative entropy production in small systems driven out of equilibrium. The range of validity of fluctuation theorems has been extensively tested for transitions between equilibrium ...

Entropy, 2022 We define common thermodynamic concepts purely within the framework of general Markov chains and derive Jarzynski’s equality and Crooks’ fluctuation theorem in this setup.

Fluctuation theorem and chaos [PDF]
The European Physical Journal B, 2008 The heat theorem (i.e. the second law of thermodynamics or the existence of entropy) is a manifestation of a general property of hamiltonian mechanics and of the ergodic Hypothesis. In nonequilibrium thermodynamics of stationary states the chaotic hypothesis plays a similar role: it allows a unique determination of the probability distribution (called {

Quasiprobability Distribution for Heat Fluctuations in the Quantum Regime
PRX Quantum, 2020 The standard approach to deriving fluctuation theorems fails to capture the effect of quantum correlation and coherence in the initial state of the system.

Nucleic Acid Thermodynamics Derived from Mechanical Unzipping Experiments
Life, 2022 Force-spectroscopy techniques have led to significant progress in studying the physicochemical properties of biomolecules that are not accessible in bulk assays. The application of piconewton forces with laser optical tweezers to single nucleic acids has

Nonequilibrium fluctuation theorems from equilibrium fluctuations
New Journal of Physics, 2013 A system can be driven to nonequilibrium behavior in the presence of thermodynamic imbalances in its environment, such as temperature or chemical potential differences.

White-noise fluctuation theorem for Langevin dynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Fluctuation theorems (FTs) based on time-reversal have provided remarkable insight into the non-equilibrium statistics of thermodynamic quantities like heat, work, and entropy production.

Quantum fluctuation theorems and power measurements
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Work in the paradigm of the quantum fluctuation theorems of Crooks and Jarzynski is determined by projective measurements of energy at the beginning and end of the force protocol.
