We investigate the problem of minimizing the entropy production for a physical process that can be described in terms of a Markov jump dynamics. We show that, without any further constraints, a given time-evolution may be realized at…

Understanding heat transfer between a quantum system and its environment is of undisputed importance if reliable quantum devices are to be constructed. Here, we investigate the heat transfer between system and bath in non-Markovian open…
A living non-Newtonian matter like the cell cortex and tissues are driven out-of-equilibrium at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The stochastic dynamics of a particle embedded in such a medium are non-Markovian, given by a generalized…
