商品描述
This book presents the fundamentals of stochastic thermodynamics, one of the most central subjects in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. It also explores many recent advances, e.g., in information thermodynamics, the thermodynamic uncertainty relation, and the trade-off relation between efficiency and power.
The content is divided into three main parts, the first of which introduces readers to fundamental topics in stochastic thermodynamics, e.g., the basics of stochastic processes, the fluctuation theorem and its variants, information thermodynamics, and large deviation theory. In turn, parts two and three explore advanced topics such as autonomous engines (engines not controlled externally) and finite speed engines, while also explaining the key concepts from recent stochastic thermodynamics theory that are involved.
To fully benefit from the book, readers only need an undergraduate-level background in statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics; no backgroundin information theory or stochastic processes is needed. Accordingly, the book offers a valuable resource for early graduate or higher-level readers who are unfamiliar with this subject but want to keep up with the cutting-edge research in this field. In addition, the author's vivid descriptions interspersed throughout the book will help readers grasp 'living' research developments and begin their own research in this field.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書介紹了隨機熱力學的基礎知識,這是非平衡統計力學中最核心的主題之一。同時,本書還探討了許多最近的進展,例如信息熱力學、熱力學不確定關係以及效率和功率之間的權衡關係。
內容分為三個主要部分,第一部分介紹了隨機熱力學的基本主題,例如隨機過程的基礎知識、波動定理及其變體、信息熱力學和大偏差理論。接著,第二部分和第三部分探討了高級主題,如自主引擎(不受外部控制的引擎)和有限速度引擎,同時解釋了最近隨機熱力學理論中涉及的關鍵概念。
為了充分受益於本書,讀者只需要具備統計力學和量子力學的本科背景,無需具備信息理論或隨機過程的背景知識。因此,本書對於初級研究生或高級讀者來說是一個寶貴的資源,他們對這個主題不熟悉,但希望跟上這個領域的尖端研究。此外,作者在整本書中插入的生動描述將幫助讀者理解“活躍”的研究發展,並開始他們自己在這個領域的研究。
