Fermionic one-body entanglement as a thermodynamic resource
Krzysztof Ptaszynski, Massimiliano Esposito
There is ongoing controversy about whether a coherent superposition of the occupied states of two fermionic modes should be regarded entangled or not, that is, whether its intrinsi…
Information flows in macroscopic Maxwell's demons
Nahuel Freitas, Massimiliano Esposito
A CMOS-based implementation of an autonomous Maxwell's demon was recently proposed (Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 120602) to demonstrate that a Maxwell demon can still work at macroscopic…
Circuit Theory for Chemical Reaction Networks
Francesco Avanzini, Nahuel Freitas, Massimiliano Esposito
We lay the foundation of a circuit theory for chemical reaction networks. Chemical reactions are grouped into chemical modules solely characterized by their current-concentration c…
Thermodynamic consistency of quantum master equations
Ariane Soret, Vasco Cavina, Massimiliano Esposito
Starting from a microscopic system-baths description, we derive the general conditions for a time-local quantum master equation (QME) to satisfy the first and second law of thermod…
Linear Stochastic Thermodynamics
Danilo Forastiere, Riccardo Rao, Massimiliano Esposito
We study the thermodynamics of open systems weakly driven out-of-equilibrium by nonconservative and time-dependent forces using the linear regime of stochastic thermodynamics. We m…
Large deviations theory for noisy non-linear electronics: CMOS inverter as a case study
Ashwin Gopal, Massimiliano Esposito, Nahuel Freitas
The latest generation of transistors are nanoscale devices whose performance and reliability are limited by thermal noise in low-power applications. Therefore developing efficient…
Landau theory for finite-time dynamical phase transitions
Jan Meibohm, Massimiliano Esposito
We study the time evolution of thermodynamic observables that characterise the dissipative nature of thermal relaxation after an instantaneous temperature quench. Combining tools f…
A Maxwell demon that can work at macroscopic scales
Nahuel Freitas, Massimiliano Esposito
Maxwell's demons work by rectifying thermal fluctuations. They are not expected to function at macroscopic scales where fluctuations become negligible and dynamics become determini…
Information Thermodynamics for Deterministic Chemical Reaction Networks
Emanuele Penocchio, Francesco Avanzini, Massimiliano Esposito
Information thermodynamics relates the rate of change of mutual information between two interacting subsystems to their thermodynamics when the joined system is described by a bipa…
Free-Energy Transduction in Chemical Reaction Networks: from Enzymes to Metabolism
Artur Wachtel, Riccardo Rao, Massimiliano Esposito
We provide a rigorous definition of free-energy transduction and its efficiency in arbitrary -- linear or nonlinear -- open chemical reaction networks (CRNs) operating at steady st…
