Discrete-time thermodynamic uncertainty relation

Statistical Mechanics 2017-10-11 v2

Abstract

We generalize the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, providing an entropic upper bound for average fluxes in time-continuous steady-state systems (Gingrich et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 120601 (2016)), to time-discrete Markov chains and to systems under time-symmetric, periodic driving.
