Stochastic thermodynamics, fluctuation theorems and molecular machines

TL;DR: Efficiency and, in particular, efficiency at maximum power can be discussed systematically beyond the linear response regime for two classes of molecular machines, isothermal ones such as molecular motors, and heat engines such as thermoelectric devices, using a common framework based on a cycle decomposition of entropy production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental verification of Landauer’s principle linking information and thermodynamics

TL;DR: It is established that the mean dissipated heat saturates at the Landauer bound in the limit of long erasure cycles, demonstrating the intimate link between information theory and thermodynamics and highlighting the ultimate physical limit of irreversible computation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Equalities and Inequalities: Irreversibility and the Second Law of Thermodynamics at the Nanoscale

TL;DR: The reason we never observe violations of the second law of thermodynamics is in part a matter of statistics: when ∼1023 degrees of freedom are involved, the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against the possibility of seeing significant deviations away from the mean behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermodynamics of information

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theoretical framework for the thermodynamics of information based on stochastic thermodynamics and fluctuation theorems, review some recent experimental results, and present an overview of the state of the art in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental demonstration of information-to-energy conversion and validation of the generalized Jarzynski equality

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the information-to-energy conversion by feedback control has been demonstrated experimentally and demonstrate that feedback can enable the transformation of information into energy without violating the second law of thermodynamics.
