We establish an exact identity for overdamped Langevin dynamics: the total entropy production rate equals four times the mutual information rate between an infinitesimal displacement and its time midpoint, plus a mean flow term. This yields…

How is it that entropy derivatives almost in their own are characterizing the state of a system close to equilibrium, and what happens further away from it? We explain within the framework of Markov jump processes why fluctuation theory can…

We discuss entropy production in nonequilibrium steady states by focusing on paths obtained by sampling at regular (small) intervals, instead of sampling on each change of the system's state. This allows us to study directly entropy…
