The large deviation approach to statistical mechanics

, 2009
The theory of large deviations is concerned with the exponential decay of probabilities of large fluctuations in random systems. These probabilities are important in many fields of study, including statistics, finance, and engineering, as they often ...

Focus on nonequilibrium fluctuation relations: from classical to quantum

New Journal of Physics, 2015
The fluctuation dissipation theorem is at the heart of equilibrium statistical mechanics. For a system away from thermal equilibrium, generalized nonequilibrium fluctuation relations have been found in recent years.

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of interacting tunneling transport: variational grand potential, density-functional formulation, and nature of steady-state forces

, 2012
The standard formulation of tunneling transport rests on an open-boundary modeling. There, conserving approximations to nonequilibrium Green function or quantum-statistical mechanics provide consistent but computational costly approaches; alternatively ...

Rectification in Nonequilibrium Parity Violating Metamaterials

Physical Review X, 2020
Understanding mechanisms for rectifying stochastic fluctuations has been a long-standing problem in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Here, we explore an opportunity provided by nonequilibrium parity-violating metamaterials to uncover new mechanisms ...

Intensive thermodynamic parameters in nonequilibrium systems [PDF]

, 2007
Considering a broad class of steady-state nonequilibrium systems for which some additive quantities are conserved by the dynamics, we introduce from a statistical approach intensive thermodynamic parameters (ITPs) conjugated to the conserved quantities ...

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

Speed limits to fluctuation dynamics

Communications Physics
Fluctuation dynamics of an experimentally measured observable offer a primary signal for nonequilibrium systems, along with dynamics of the mean. While universal speed limits for the mean have actively been studied recently, constraints for the speed of ...

Statistical Mechanics where Newton’s Third Law is Broken

Physical Review X, 2015
There is a variety of situations in which Newton’s third law is violated. Generally, the action-reaction symmetry can be broken for mesoscopic particles, when their effective interactions are mediated by a nonequilibrium environment. Here, we investigate
