Cramer-Rao Inequality Generalizes the Equilibrium Energy Fluctuation-Response Relation to Nonequilibrium Steady States
Shaofan Liu, Raphael Chetrite, Andre C. Barato
Equilibrium steady states are fully characterized by the Boltzmann distribution, which depends only on the energy and the temperature. In contrast, nonequilibrium steady states, wh…

Cyclic active refrigerators
S. Liu, A. Datta, A. C. Barato
Thermodynamic cycles are idealized processes that can convert heat into work or produce heat flow against a temperature gradient with the input of work. They remain an active area…
