Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamic Relations in Driven Systems
COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited
Abstract
In this talk I will review some recent results on non-equilibrium thermodynamic relations, which follow from combining unitary dynamics with the Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. In particular, I will mention fluctuation theorems, general properties of energy and entropy production in driven systems (both open and thermally isolated), and fundamental limitations on efficiency of non-equilibrium heat engines.
