Pole-skipping offers compelling evidence for the hydrodynamic origin of chaotic behavior in strongly coupled quantum systems. We demonstrate that the cumulative effect of higher-order corrections to the hydrodynamic diffusive mode, captured…
In systems with detailed balance, the stationary distribution and the equilibrium distribution are identical, creating a clear connection between energetic and entropic quantities. Many driven systems violate detailed balance and still pose…

For classical many-body systems, our recent study reveals that expectation value of internal energy, structure, and free energy can be well characterized by a single specially-selected microscopic structure. This finding relies on the fact…
Equilibrium statistics of Hamiltonian systems is correctly described by the microcanonical ensemble. Classically this is the manifold of all points in the N-body phase space with the given total energy. Due to Boltzmann-Planck's principle,…

Under sufficiently slow driving, thermodynamics predicts reversible evolution through a sequence of equilibrium states. We show that this expectation fails near spectral degeneracy in driven quadratic Hamiltonian systems. As the soft-mode…

In a first part the scope of classical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics is discussed in the broader context of formal dynamical systems, including computer programmes. In this context classical thermodynamics appears as a particular…
The entropy production is one of the most essential features for systems operating out of equilibrium. The formulation for discrete-state systems goes back to the celebrated Schnakenberg's work and hitherto can be carried out when for each…
A recent proposal for mixed dynamics of classical and quantum ensembles is shown, in contrast to other proposals, to satisfy the minimal algebraic requirements proposed by Salcedo for any consistent formulation of such dynamics. Generalised…
Equilibrium is characterized by its fundamental properties such as the detailed balance, the fluctuation-dissipation relation, and no heat dissipation. Based on the stochastic thermodynamics, we show that these three properties are…

Understanding how statistical equilibrium can occur in out-of-equilibrium systems is of paramount interest, as it would enable the use of statistical mechanics tools to these systems. Here, we report the first experimental evidence of…
