Poisson-shot-noise hybrid machines: efficiency and quasistatic divergence
Rita Majumdar, Costantino Di Bello, Ralf Metzler +2
We study stochastic models of a microscopic active heat engine, comprised of an overdamped Brownian particle trapped in a harmonic potential, and in simultaneous contact with therm…

Quo vadis, stochastic thermodynamics?
Jan Korbel, Artemy Kolchinsky, Sarah A. M. Loos +4
Stochastic thermodynamics is a framework for describing non-equilibrium processes at the level of fluctuating trajectories, where the state of a system evolves as a stochastic time…

Pareto fronts and trade-off relations from exact multi-objective optimization of thermal machines
José A. Almanza-Marrero, Édgar Roldán, Gonzalo Manzano
Thermal machines are physical systems that, when fueled by input energy, perform output tasks such as heat pumping or the production of work. Their performance is characterized wit…
