The first paper of this series [J. Chem. Phys. 158, 034103 (2023)] demonstrated that excess entropy scaling holds for both fine-grained and corresponding coarse-grained (CG) systems. Despite its universality, a more exact determination of…
Coarse-graining (CG) is a systematic reduction of the number of degrees of freedom (DOF) used to describe a system of interest. CG can be thought of as a projection on coarse-grained DOF and is therefore dependent on the functions used to…
Active particles that translate chemical energy into self-propulsion can maintain a far-from-equilibrium steady state and perform work. The entropy production measures how far from equilibrium such a particle system operates and serves as a…
