We experimentally study a gas of $N = 8$ one-dimensional Brownian particles, each confined in a harmonic trap with identical stiffness. The stiffness switches simultaneously between two values at random Poissonian times. This collective…

We consider an isothermal machine composed of two Brownian particles (say particle A and B) connected by a harmonic spring. A constant load is attached to particle A, and the particle B is trapped in a harmonic confinement whose minimum is…
We perform a theoretical test of Jarzynski relation for an adiabatic stretching of an isotropic spring, which is an exactly solvable model. It turns out that Jarzynski relation does not hold even when the entire infinite momentum space of…
We prove the Jarzynski relation for general stochastic processes including non-Markovian systems with memory. The only requirement for our proof is the existence of a stationary state, therefore excluding non-ergodic systems. We then show…
We investigate an unconventional nature of the entropy production (EP) in nonequilibrium systems with odd-parity variables that change signs under time reversal. We consider the Brownian motion of a particle in contact with a heat…
We extend the quantum jump method to nearly adiabatically driven open quantum systems in a way that allows for an accurate account of the external driving in the system-environment interaction. Using this framework, we construct the…
We project the Wilson/Polchinski renormalization group equation onto its uniform external field dependent effective free energy and connected Green's functions. The result is a hierarchy of equations which admits a choice of "natural"…
We present a generalized dynamical mean-field approach for the nonequilibrium physics of a strongly correlated system in the presence of a time-dependent external field. The Keldysh Green's function formalism is used to study the…
We consider closed quantum systems (into which baths may be integrated) that are driven, i.e., subject to time-dependent Hamiltonians. As a starting point we assume that, for systems initialized in microcanonical states at some energies,…
The non-relativistic current algebra approach is analyzed subject to its application to studying the distribution functions of many-particle systems at the temperature equilibrium and their stability properties. We show that the classical…
Collections of self-propelled particles that move persistently by continuously consuming free energy are a paradigmatic example of active matter. In these systems, unlike Brownian "hot colloids", the breakdown of detailed balance yields a…
Employing a local formula for the electron-electron interaction energy, we derive a self-consistent approximation for the total energy of a general $N$-electron system. Our scheme works as a local variant of the Thomas-Fermi approximation…
We study the thermodynamics of quantum projective measurements by using the set up for the Jarzynski equality. We prove the fluctuations of energy change induced by measurements satisfy the Jarzynski equality, revealing that the quantum…
Here we investigate the impact of temporal entanglement on a system's ability to perform thermodynamical work. We show that while the quantum version of the Jarzynski equality remains satisfied even in the presence of temporal entanglement,…
We consider an overdamped particle with a general physical mechanism that creates noisy active movement (e.g., a run-and-tumble particle or active Brownian particle etc.), that is confined by an external potential. Focusing on the limit in…
Nonequilibrium thermodynamics formalism is proposed to derive the flux of grainy (bubbles-containing) matter, emerging in a nucleation growth process. Some power and non-power limits, due to the applied potential as well as owing to basic…
The well known Bohr-van Leeuwen Theorem states that the orbital diamagnetism of classical charged particles is identically zero in equilibrium. However, results based on real space-time approach using the classical Langevin equation…

The theory of constructing instantaneous equilibrium (ieq) transition under arbitrary time-dependent temperature and potential variation for a Brownian particle is developed. It is shown that it is essential to consider the underdamped…
