Extracting work from a single heat bath through feedback
D. Abreu, U. Seifert
Work can be extracted from a single heat bath if additional information is available. For the paradigmatic case of a Brownian particle in a harmonic potential, whose position has b…
Efficiency of molecular motors at maximum power
Tim Schmiedl, Udo Seifert
Molecular motors transduce chemical energy obtained from hydrolizing ATP into mechanical work exerted against an external force. We calculate their efficiency at maximum power outp…
Jarzynski Relation, Fluctuation Theorems, and Stochastic Thermodynamics for Non-Markovian Processes
Thomas Speck, Udo Seifert
We prove the Jarzynski relation for general stochastic processes including non-Markovian systems with memory. The only requirement for our proof is the existence of a stationary st…
Distribution of Entropy Production for a Colloidal Particle in a Nonequilibrium Steady State
T. Speck, V. Blickle, C. Bechinger +1
For a colloidal particle driven by a constant force across a periodic potential, we investigate the distribution of entropy production both experimentally and theoretically. For sh…
Measurement of Stochastic Entropy Production
C. Tietz, S. Schuler, T. Speck +2
Using fluorescence spectroscopy we directly measure entropy production of a single two-level system realized experimentally as an optically driven defect center in diamond. We expl…
Restoring a fluctuation-dissipation theorem in a nonequilibrium steady state
T. Speck, U. Seifert
In a nonequilibrium steady state, the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) is connected to breaking detailed balance. For the velocity correlations of a driven co…
