Talk:Stochastic thermodynamics

Rewrite section on Jarzynski equality
This needs to be rewritten or deleted, as the entire section is copied from Seifert, 2012, Reports on Progress in Physics. For now I've just put everything in quotes and added a source. Lhcgeneva (talk) 13:01, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * The "history" section is also a word-for-word copy from Seifert, 2012 67.198.37.16 (talk) 05:37, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Is this source reliable? Is this info usable?
I dunno, but here ya go!

"The team used a relatively new field of physics to prove the diodes increased the circuit's power. 'In proving this power enhancement, we drew from the emergent field of stochastic thermodynamics and extended the nearly century-old, celebrated theory of Nyquist,' said coauthor Pradeep Kumar, associate professor of physics and coauthor."

Relationship to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics
Is this just another name for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics? Is it a mathematical formalism? Is it a subfield of it, specialized for solving aqueous mesoscopic systems and biomolecular machines?

Reading the review article, the relationship is unclear. It would be good to make it clear in the introduction of the page. pony in a strange land (talk) 19:27, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
