Classical and quantum stochastic thermodynamics [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física, 2020
The stochastic thermodynamics provides a framework for the description of systems that are out of thermodynamic equilibrium. It is based on the assumption that the elementary constituents are acted by random forces that generate a stochastic dynamics ...

Stochastic thermodynamics of nanoscale friction [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2021
Developing the thermodynamics of nanoscale friction is needed in a wide range of tribological applications, where the key objective is to optimally control the energy dissipation. Here we show that modern stochastic thermodynamics allows us to interpret the measurements obtained by friction force microscopy, which is the standard tool for investigating

Geometrical aspects of entropy production in stochastic thermodynamics based on Wasserstein distance

Physical Review Research, 2021
We study a relationship between optimal transport theory and stochastic thermodynamics for the Fokker-Planck equation. We show that the lower bound on the entropy production is the action measured by the path length of the L^{2}-Wasserstein distance ...

Thermodynamic Unification of Optimal Transport: Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation, Minimum Dissipation, and Thermodynamic Speed Limits

Physical Review X, 2023
Thermodynamics serves as a universal means for studying physical systems from an energy perspective. In recent years, with the establishment of the field of stochastic and quantum thermodynamics, the ideas of thermodynamics have been generalized to small

Exploring quantum thermodynamics with NMR

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open, 2023
Quantum thermodynamics seeks to extend non-equilibrium stochastic thermodynamics to small quantum systems where non-classical features are essential to its description.

Strong coupling thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics from the unifying perspective of time-scale separation

Physical Review Research, 2022
Assuming time-scale separation, a simple and unified theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics is constructed for small classical systems strongly interacting with their environments in a controllable fashion.

Boltzmann stochastic thermodynamics [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2019
The Boltzmann kinetic equation is obtained from an integro-differential master equation that describes a stochastic dynamics in phase space of an isolated thermodynamic system. The stochastic evolution yields a generation of entropy, leading to an increase of Gibbs entropy, in contrast to a Hamiltonian dynamics, described by the Liouville equation, for

The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics and Volume-Preserving Conservative Dynamics with Equilibrium Stochastic Damping [PDF]

, 2013
We propose a mathematical formulation of the zeroth law of thermodynamics and develop a stochastic dynamical theory, with a consistent irreversible thermodynamics, for systems possessing sustained conservative stationary current in phase space while in ...

Functionals in stochastic thermodynamics: how to interpret stochastic integrals [PDF]

, 2019
In stochastic thermodynamics standard concepts from macroscopic thermodynamics, such as heat, work, and entropy production, are generalized to small fluctuating systems by defining them on a trajectory-wise level.

Quantum Thermodynamics: A Nonequilibrium Green's Functions Approach [PDF]

, 2015
We establish the foundations of a nonequilibrium theory of quantum thermodynamics for noninteracting open quantum systems strongly coupled to their reservoirs within the framework of the nonequilibrium Green functions (NEGF). The energy of the system and
