The study of thermodynamic fluctuations allows one to relate the free energy difference between two equilibrium states with the work done on a system through processes far from equilibrium. This finding plays a crucial role in the quantum…

In this article, we apply a probabilistic approach to study general mean field type control (MFTC) problems with jump-diffusions, and give the first global-in-time solution. We allow the drift coefficient $b$ and the diffusion coefficient…
