Summary
Stochastic Thermodynamics: A Nanoscale Perspective
The first comprehensive graduate-level introduction to stochastic thermodynamics. Stochastic thermodynamics is a well-defined subfield of statistical physics that aims to interpret thermodynamic concepts for systems, ranging in size from a few to hundreds of nanometers, the behavior of which is inherently random due to thermal fluctuations. This growing field therefore describes the nonequilibrium dynamics of small systems, such as …
