We show that the entropy production rate bounds the rate at which physical processes can be performed in stochastic systems far from equilibrium. In particular, we prove the fundamental tradeoff ⟨S[over ˙]_{e}⟩T≥k_{B} between the entropy flow ⟨S[over ˙]_{e}⟩ into the reservoirs and the mean time T to complete any process whose time-reversed is exponentially rarer. This dissipation-time uncertainty relation is a novel form of speed limit: the smaller the dissipation, the larger the time to…

Dissipation bounds the amplification of transition rates far from equilibrium

Stochastic thermodynamics is employed to build a framework which can be used to gain mechanistic insight into transitions far from equilibrium, and shows that under general conditions, there is a basic speed limit relating the typical excess heat dissipated throughout a transition and the rate amplification achievable.

Thermodynamic uncertainty relation for systems with unidirectional transitions

We derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) for systems with unidirectional transitions. The uncertainty relation involves a mixture of thermodynamic and dynamic terms. Namely, the entropy…

Entropy of sharp restart

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis that quantifies how sharp restart—a keystone restart protocol—impacts the Shannon entropy of the completion time through an information-geometric approach based on Kullback–Leibler distances.

Verification of Information Thermodynamics in a Trapped Ion System

Information thermodynamics has developed rapidly over past years, and the trapped ions, as a controllable quantum system, have demonstrated feasibility to experimentally verify the theoretical…

Stochastic thermodynamics and fluctuation theorems for non-linear systems

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. We show that if…

Optimizing dynamical functions for speed with stochastic paths

Living systems are built from microscopic components that function dynamically; they generate work with molecular motors, assemble and disassemble structures such as microtubules, keep time with…

Dynamic scaling of stochastic thermodynamic observables for chemical reactions at and away from equilibrium.

Physical kinetic roughening processes are well-known to exhibit universal scaling of observables that fluctuate in space and time. Are there analogous dynamic scaling laws that are unique to the…

Thermodynamic limits of sperm swimming precision

Sperm swimming is crucial to fertilise the egg, in nature and in assisted reproductive tech-nologies. Modelling the sperm dynamics involves elasticity, hydrodynamics, internal active forces, and…

Comparison of Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics with thermodynamics based on a distribution containing the first-passage time.

An analogy is drawn between version of non-equilibrium thermodynamics a distribution-based containing an additional thermodynamic first-passage time parameter and Extended Irreversible Thermodynamics…

Transient chaos: the origin of transport in driven systems

In open Hamiltonian systems transport is governed by chaotic saddles which are low-dimensional if a single-particle description can be used. We show that in systems where the motion of the particle…

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations constrain non-equilibrium fluctuations

In equilibrium thermodynamics, there exists a well-established connection between dynamical fluctuations of a physical system and the dissipation of its energy into an environment. However, few…

Theoretical models for superionic conductors

Abstract The present theoretical understanding of various properties of superionic conductors is reviewed. Emphasis is put on their treatment as classical many-particle systems and on the analysis of…

Fokker-Planck Equation

As shown in Sects. 3.1, 2 we can immediately obtain expectation values for processes described by the linear Langevin equations (3.1, 31). For nonlinear Langevin equations (3.67, 110) expectation…

The thermodynamic uncertainty relation in biochemical oscillations

This paper shows that computational models of real biochemical clocks severely underperform this optimum, with fluctuations several orders of magnitude larger than the theoretical minimum, and introduces a new model with a tunable number of internal states per molecule that approaches the optimal precision as this number increases.

Negative differential response in chemical reactions

It is argued that NDR implies the existence of optimal affinities that maximize the robustness against environmental and intrinsic noise at intermediate values of dissipation, and an analogous behavior is found in dissipative self-assembly, for which the optimal working conditions set by NDR are identified.
