This paper is concerned with the stochastic thermodynamics of non-equilibrium Gaussian processes that can exhibit anomalous diffusion. In the systems considered, the noise correlation function is not necessarily related to friction. Thus,…
The third law of thermodynamics dictates that the entropy of materials becomes zero as temperature ($T$) approaches zero. Contrarily, glass and other similar materials exhibit nonzero entropy at $T=0$, which contradicts the third law. For…
