We derive a thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) for first-passage times (FPTs) on continuous time Markov chains. The TUR utilizes the entropy production coming from bidirectional transitions, and the net flux coming from unidirectional…

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) relate precision to the dissipation rate, yet the inequalities can be far from saturation. Indeed, in catenane molecular motor simulations, we record precision far below the TUR limit. We further…

A fluctuation theorem is proved for the macroscopic currents of a system in a nonequilibrium steady state, by using Schnakenberg network theory. The theorem can be applied, in particular, in reaction systems where the affinities or…
