An extension of the thermodynamic uncertainty relation (TUR) to time-delayed Langevin systems has been recently proposed by T. V. Vu and Y. Hasegawa (arXiv:1809.06610v2). Here we show that the derivation is erroneous.
Thermodynamics is usually formulated on the presumption that the observer has complete information about the system he/she deals with: no parasitic current, exact evaluation of the forces that drive the system. For example, the acclaimed…
