Summary: When a system is in equilibrium, external perturbations result in nonequilibrium distributions. Recent experiments have shown that these nonequilibrium data can contain critical information. Jinwoo and Tanaka mathematically prove that the nonequilibrium free energy profile of a process is connected to Jarzynski's work, which dissipates while molecules perform their tasks. We verify this fact numerically and provide an example of RNA translocation analysis using a computer simulation, confirming the efficiency of the process.

Summary: This paper studies an active particles system near the motility-induced critical point and demonstrates that a nonequilibrium coloured noise field can capture the coarse-grained behavior of the system. The study shows that active particles violate the equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation in the high-wave-vector and high-frequency regime, but the critical dynamics is effectively in equilibrium at larger spatiotemporal scales. A field-theoretical description using a space-time correlated noise field qualitatively captures the numerical results.

Summary: Graham has shown that a fluctuation-dissipation relation can be imposed on nonequilibrium Markovian Langevin equations with a stationary Fokker-Planck solution. The equilibrium form of the Langevin equation is associated with a nonequilibrium Hamiltonian. This study provides insight into the loss of time-reversal invariance in the Hamiltonian and the loss of time-reversal symmetries in reactive and dissipative fluxes.

Summary: We analyze the static response to perturbations of nonequilibrium steady states modeled as one-dimensional diffusions on the circle. We demonstrate that arbitrary perturbations can be decomposed into combinations of three specific classes of perturbations that can be effectively addressed individually. For each class, we derive simple formulas that quantitatively characterize the response in terms of the strength of nonequilibrium driving, valid even far from equilibrium.

Summary: In this work, we develop a method based on the dissipaton-equation-of-motion theory to evaluate the work distributions in quantum impurity system-bath mixing processes with non-Markovian and strong couplings. Our results accurately reproduce the Jarzynski equality and Crooks relation and provide rich information on large deviation.

Summary: The dynamic heterogeneity and translation-rotation decoupling in glasses and supercooled liquids are closely related to the local structure development, with significant differences observed between 2D polydisperse colloids and 2D binary colloids. Tracers in 2D polydisperse colloids exhibit a shape-dependency parameter of the decoupling that grows with the dynamic correlation length, while tracers in 2D binary colloids do not show a similar correlation, highlighting the relationship between dynamic heterogeneity, translation-rotation decoupling, and local structure development in glasses.

Summary: We investigate entropy production in finitely slow transitions between nonequilibrium steady states in Markov jump processes. We use the improved adiabatic approximation method to obtain nonadiabatic corrections and analyze two types of excess entropy production. Numerical study is conducted on a two-state system.

Summary: We propose a time-symmetric counterpart of the current in stochastic thermodynamics called the timesymmetric current. This current is defined using empirical measures and is therefore symmetric under time reversal, while its ensemble average reproduces the average current. We prove that this timesymmetric current satisfies the fluctuation-response relation, albeit with sign inversion. Importantly, this relation holds not only near equilibrium states but also around nonequilibrium stationary states when observed currents stall. The obtained relation also serves as an experimental tool for measuring the value of a bare transition rate by measuring only time-integrated empirical measures.

Summary: Absolute negative mobility (ANM) refers to the situation where the average velocity of a driven tracer is opposite to the direction of the driving force. In this study, a microscopic theory for ANM is provided by considering an active tracer particle on a lattice populated with mobile passive crowders. The analytical calculation of the tracer particle's velocity as a function of system parameters is conducted using a decoupling approximation, and the results are compared with numerical simulations. The range of parameters where ANM can be observed is determined, the response of the environment to the tracer's displacement is characterized, and the mechanism underlying ANM and its relationship with negative differential mobility are clarified.

Summary: Using theory and simulations, the authors studied DNA unzipping via nanopore translocation and found three dynamical regimes depending on the applied force. They showed that the normal regime can be modeled as a one-dimensional stochastic process and used the theory of stochastic processes to recover the free-energy landscape. This approach can be applied to other single-molecule systems with periodic potentials to obtain detailed free-energy landscapes from out-of-equilibrium trajectories.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the typical distribution of quantum work at finite temperature. We found that for small work, the distribution follows a Gaussian distribution and the variance is proportional to the average work. However, at low temperature or for large work, a non-Gaussian distribution with superdiffusive work fluctuations is observed. Additionally, the time dependence of the probability of adiabaticity transitions from an exponential to a stretched exponential behavior. For large average work, the distribution becomes universal, dependent only on temperature and mean work. Our findings suggest that work statistics can be described by a Markovian energy-space diffusion process, starting from a thermal initial state. The validity of our results can be verified through measurements on nanoscale circuits or single qubit interferometry.

Summary: We investigate the effects of logarithmic perturbations of reaction rates on chemical reaction networks driven far from equilibrium. Our findings show that the response of the average number of chemical species is limited by both number fluctuations and the maximum thermodynamic driving force. We provide evidence for these trade-offs in linear chemical reaction networks and a specific class of nonlinear chemical reaction networks with a single chemical species. Numerical results from various model systems suggest that these trade-offs hold for a wide range of chemical reaction networks, although their specific form seems to depend on the network's deficiency.
