Carnot efficiency at divergent power output
Matteo Polettini, Massimiliano Esposito
The widely debated feasibility of thermodynamic machines achieving Carnot efficiency at finite power has been convincingly dismissed. Yet, the common wisdom that efficiency can onl…
Tightening the uncertainty principle for stochastic currents
M. Polettini, A. Lazarescu, M. Esposito
We connect two recent advances in the stochastic analysis of nonequilibrium systems: the (loose) uncertainty principle for the currents, which states that statistical errors are bo…
Fluctuation-dissipation relations far from equilibrium
Bernhard Altaner, Matteo Polettini, Massimiliano Esposito
Near equilibrium, where all currents of a system vanish on average, the fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) connects a current's spontaneous fluctuations with its response to pe…
Conservation laws and symmetries in stochastic thermodynamics
Matteo Polettini, Gregory Bulnes Cuetara, Massimiliano Esposito
Phenomenological nonequilibrium thermodynamics describes how fluxes of conserved quantities such as matter, energy and charge flow from outer reservoirs across a system, and how th…
