Entropy production and dynamical activity are two complementary aspects in nonequilibrium physics. The asymmetry of cross-correlation, serving as a distinctive feature of nonequilibrium, also finds widespread utility. In this Letter, we…
Materials that are constantly driven out of thermodynamic equilibrium, such as active and living systems, typically violate the Einstein relation. This may arise from active contributions to particle fluctuations which are unrelated to the…
