Universal theory of efficiency fluctuations
Gatien Verley, Tim Willaert, Christian Van den Broeck +1
Using the fluctuation theorem supplemented with geometric arguments, we derive universal features of the (long-time) efficiency fluctuations for thermal and isothermal machines ope…
Echo states for detailed fluctuation theorems
T. Becker, T. Willaert, B. Cleuren +1
Detailed fluctuation theorems are statements about the probability distribution for the stochastic entropy production along a trajectory. It involves the consideration of a suitabl…
Fluctuation symmetry in a two-state Markov model
Tim Willaert, Bart Cleuren, Christian Van den Broeck
We show that the scaled cumulant generating and large deviation function, associated to a two-state Markov process involving two processes, obey a symmetry relation reminiscent of…
The unlikely Carnot efficiency
Gatien Verley, Tim Willaert, Christian Van den Broeck +1
The efficiency of an heat engine is traditionally defined as the ratio of its average output work over its average input heat. Its highest possible value was discovered by Carnot i…
