The quantum speed limit provides a fundamental bound on how fast a quantum system can evolve between the initial and the final states under any physical operation. The celebrated Mandelstam-Tamm (MT) bound has been widely studied for…
We investigate an ideal gas in a time--dependent external trapping potential. We use the Boltzmann equation with the relaxation time ansatz to explore the time--dependent energy of an adiabatically isolated system. In particular we are…
Identifying dissipation is essential for understanding the physical mechanisms underlying nonequilibrium processes. {In living systems, for example, the dissipation is directly related to the hydrolysis of fuel molecules such as adenosine…
Relative fluctuations of observables in discrete stochastic systems are bounded at all times by the mean dynamical activity in the system, quantified by the mean number of jumps. This constitutes a kinetic uncertainty relation that is…
In this work, we introduce a notion of reachability entropy to characterize the smallest data rate which is sufficient enough to enforce reach-while-stay specification. We also define data rates of coder-controllers that can enforce this…
Work fluctuation and total entropy production play crucial roles in small thermodynamic systems subject to large thermal fluctuations. We investigate a trade-off relation between them in a nonequilibrium situation in which a system starts…
We derive exact relations and general inequalities that extend the usual time-energy uncertainty relations from the domain of unitary Hamiltonian dynamics to that of dissipative dynamics as described by a broad class of linear and nonlinear…
We introduce two time: deterministic Newton time-stream t and stochastic time-epoch $\tau$. The relation of uncertainty for time-epoch of physical events $\Delta\tau\Delta D \geq c_1,\eqno(*)$ where $c_1=const$, is proved. The function…
Nonequilibrium complex systems are often effectively described by the mixture of different dynamics on different time scales. Superstatistics, which is "statistics of statistics" with two largely separated time scales, offers a consistent…
Using Brownian motion in periodic potentials $V(x)$ tilted by a force $f$, we provide physical insight into the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, a recently conjectured principle for statistical errors and irreversible heat dissipation in…
The minimum entropy production principle provides an approximative variational characterization of close-to-equilibrium stationary states, both for macroscopic systems and for stochastic models. Analyzing the fluctuations of the empirical…
Traditional thermodynamic trade-off relations usually apply to quantities that depend linearly on probability distributions. In contrast, many important information-theoretic measures, such as entropies, are nonlinear and therefore…
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…
Biological and engineered systems operate by coupling function to the transfer of heat and/or particles down a thermal or chemical gradient. In idealized \textit{deterministically} driven systems, thermodynamic control can be exerted…
Biochemical signaling cascades transmit intracellular information while dissipating energy under nonequilibrium conditions. We model a cascade as a code string and apply information-entropy ideas to quantify an optimal transmission rate. A…
Many biological functions require the dynamics to be necessarily driven out-of-equilibrium. In contrast, in various contexts, a nonequilibrium dynamics at fast timescales can be described by an effective equilibrium dynamics at a slower…
We revisit and extend the physical interpretation recently given to a certain identity between large--deviations rate--functions (as well as applications of this identity to Information Theory), as an instance of thermal equilibrium between…
An important result in classical stochastic thermodynamics is the work fluctuation--dissipation relation (FDR), which states that the dissipated work done along a slow process is proportional to the resulting work fluctuations. Here we show…
We prove the uncertainty relation $\sigma_T \, \sigma_E \geq \hbar/2$ between the time $T$ of detection of a quantum particle on the surface $\partial \Omega$ of a region $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ containing the particle's initial wave…
We introduce state-independent, non-perturbative Hamiltonian quantum speed limits for population leakage and fidelity loss, for a gapped open system interacting with a reservoir. These results hold in the presence of initial correlations…
