Contact Geometry of Mesoscopic Thermodynamics and Dynamics
Entropy, 2014 The time evolution during which macroscopic systems reach thermodynamic equilibrium states proceeds as a continuous sequence of contact structure preserving transformations maximizing the entropy.

Stochastic thermodynamics of all-to-all interacting many-body systems
New Journal of Physics, 2020 We provide a stochastic thermodynamic description across scales for N identical units with all-to-all interactions that are driven away from equilibrium by different reservoirs and external forces.

Linear stochastic thermodynamics
New Journal of Physics, 2022 We study the thermodynamics of open systems weakly driven out-of-equilibrium by nonconservative and time-dependent forces using the linear regime of stochastic thermodynamics. We make use of conservation laws to identify the potential and nonconservative

Quantum-Heat Fluctuation Relations in Three-Level Systems Under Projective Measurements
Condensed Matter, 2020 We study the statistics of energy fluctuations in a three-level quantum system subject to a sequence of projective quantum measurements. We check that, as expected, the quantum Jarzynski equality holds provided that the initial state is thermal.

Entropy, 2020 A shock wave that is characterized by sharp physical gradients always draws the medium out of equilibrium. In this work, both hydrodynamic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects around the shock wave are investigated using a discrete Boltzmann model ...

Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics
Condensed Matter Physics, 2005 Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics is a powerful simulation tool. Like its equilibrium cousin, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics is based on time-reversible equations of motion. But unlike conventional mechanics, nonequilibrium molecular dynamics provides

Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics Inspired by Modern Information Theory
Entropy, 2013 A collection of recent papers revisit how to quantify the relationship between information and work in the light of modern information theory, so-called single-shot information theory.

Justifying Typicality Measures of Boltzmannian Statistical Mechanics and Dynamical Systems [PDF]
, 2013 A popular view in contemporary Boltzmannian statistical mechanics is to interpret the measures as typicality measures. In dynamical systems theory measures can similarly be interpreted as typicality measures.

Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics [PDF]
, 2022 Active matter is everywhere, from macroscopic to microscopic scales, we find systems such as human crowd or flock of birds as well as bacterial colonies. These systems composed of particles are able to convert their surrounding energy into motion, and naturally exist out of thermodynamic equilibrium. At the microscopic scale, a specific class of active

Nonequilibrium Entropy Conservation and the Transport Equations of Mass, Momentum, and Energy
Energies, 2021 Nonequilibrium statistical mechanics or molecular theory has put the transport equations of mass, momentum and energy on a firm or rigorous theoretical foundation that has played a critical role in their use and applications. Here, it is shown that those
