The postulational basis of classical thermodynamics has been expanded to incorporate equilibrium fluctuations. The main additional elements of the proposed thermodynamic theory are the concept of quasi-equilibrium states, a definition of…
Thermodynamic currents can fluctuate significantly at the nanoscale. But some currents fluctuate less than others. Hyperaccurate currents are those which fluctuate the least, in the sense that they maximize the signal-to-noise ratio…

An extension of fluctuation-dissipation theorem is used to derive a "speed limit" theorem for nonlinear electronic devices. This speed limit provides a lower bound on the dissipation that is incurred when transferring a given amount of…
In some models of nonequilibrium phase transitions, fluctuations of the analyzed currents have been observed to diverge with system size. To assess whether this behavior is universal across phase transitions, we examined heat current…
We develop a general perturbative computation of finite-frequency quantum noise which applies, in particular, to both good or weakly transmitting strongly correlated conductors coupled to a generic environment. Under a minimal set of…
Although the Fluctuation-Dissipation framework is a first step to get a quantum model for electrical noise, the merging of displacement and conduction currents into the sole current of a series notion like the resistance R(f) does not help…
We consider a quantum system with $N$ degrees of freedom which is classically chaotic. When $N$ is large, and both $\hbar$ and the quantum energy uncertainty $\Delta E$ are small, quantum chaos theory can be used to demonstrate the…
It is known that temperature estimates of macroscopic systems in equilibrium are most precise when their energy fluctuations are large. However, for nanoscale systems deviations from standard thermodynamics arise due to their interactions…
The Kubo fluctuation-dissipation theorem relates the current fluctuations of a system in an equilibrium state with the linear AC-conductance. This theorem holds also out of equilibrium provided that the system is in a stationary state and…
We investigate shot noise at {\it finite temperatures} induced by the quasi-particle tunneling between fractional quantum Hall (FQH) edge states. The resulting Fano factor has the peak structure at a certain bias voltage. Such a structure…
We propose an alternative scenario for the propagation of thermal noise in a conductor. In this scenario, the noise in the emf (electromotive force) between two terminals cannot be described as a sum of contributions from uncorrelated…
In this article we present simple approaches to the calculation of P(i) (the probability distribution of current fluctuations) in a tunnel junction, and to the effect of the environment on noise measurements in terms of the modification of…
We present measurements of current noise in quantum point contacts as a function of source-drain bias, gate voltage, and in-plane magnetic field. At zero bias, Johnson noise provides a measure of the electron temperature. At finite bias,…
