Summary: A nonequilibrium response theory was developed for macroscopic quantum systems to separate ensemble heterogeneity and intrinsic quantum uncertainty contributions. This approach utilizes a quantum P-ensemble to describe classical heterogeneity between individual quantum systems in an ensemble. The P-ensemble formalism allows for quantum generalizations of linear response theory and the Jarzynski nonequilibrium work relation, providing guidance for effective application in single molecule experiments.

Summary: By examining the deterministic limit of a general e-dependent generator for Markovian dynamics, the intrinsic connections among mesoscopic stochastic dynamics, deterministic ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations, large deviation rate functions, and macroscopic thermodynamic potentials are established. This not only solves the long-standing question of the origin of the entropy function in classical irreversible thermodynamics, but also reveals an emergent feature during the deterministic limit.

Summary: We demonstrate that various nonequilibrium dynamics of interacting many-body systems can be universally described by a elegant relation, referred to as the dynamic virial theorem. The out-of-equilibrium dynamics of quantum correlations are determined entirely by Tan's contact, leading to a series of observable consequences that are closely connected to experiments with ultracold atoms. Specifically, we show that the dynamic virial theorem serves as an experimentally accessible verification of the maximum energy growth theorem, which can be observed through the evolution of atomic cloud size during expansion. Moreover, the dynamic virial theorem provides a simple thermodynamic relation for strongly interacting quantum gases within the framework of two-fluid hydrodynamic theory, which holds over a wide range of temperatures. This thermodynamic relation serves as a non-equilibrium analogue of Tan's pressure relation. Our findings offer a fundamental understanding of the generic behaviors of interacting many-body systems in nonequilibrium settings and can be readily examined in experiments with ultracold atoms.

Summary: Plasma medicine involves the therapeutic application of nonequilibrium plasmas, which are weakly ionized gases, for various medical purposes. These plasmas can emit radiation and contain charged and neutral species, interacting with surrounding matter and influencing the redox balance in cells. Current clinical applications of plasma medicine mainly focus on wound healing, while research on plasma oncology for cancer treatment is emerging. The future of plasma medicine lies in improving and expanding the control and optimization of plasma devices, as well as developing new plasma-based therapies in medicine.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the thermal relaxation of an ideal gas from a nonequilibrium stationary state. We observed two distinct heat transport modes: a heat front and internal energy diffusion. The heat front plays a significant role in shaping the dynamics of the outflow of internal energy, and cooling is faster than heating. Additionally, hotter bodies cool down quicker than colder ones.

Summary: Omnidirectional images and videos have become popular with the rise of capturing and visualization devices. They offer a 360-degree view of the environment and are commonly used in applications related to augmented and virtual reality. However, mapping these omnidirectional media onto planar representations can result in distorted images and affect the performance of visual computing algorithms.

Summary: By modeling the active noise as a generalized form of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, the dynamics and work distribution of a Brownian particle in a Gaussian active bath are theoretically investigated, revealing an asymptotic approach to a superdiffusive regime. Two protocols for performing work on the system are considered, with exact expressions for the probability distribution function of work obtained, showing anomalous scaling with time. Fluctuation relations of work are studied, revealing a non-conventional FR emerging in the long-time limit, and recovering known results for the usual OUP bath.

Summary: Thermodynamic speed limits are classical uncertainty relations that place global bounds on the stochastic dissipation of energy and the production of entropy. In this study, we derive integral speed limits that provide upper and lower bounds on the minimum time for an amount of mechanical work to be done on or by a system, instead of constraints on thermodynamic costs. We demonstrate the relationship between an extrinsic timescale and an intrinsic timescale for work in the short time limit, and convert the first law of stochastic thermodynamics into a first law of speeds. Two physical examples are considered - the work done by a flashing Brownian ratchet and the work done on a particle in a potential well subject to external driving.

Summary: The asymmetry in the flow of events, expressed as 'time's arrow,' is traced back to the second law of thermodynamics. A machine learning algorithm trained to infer the direction of time's arrow identifies entropy production as the relevant physical quantity in its decision-making process. This suggests that machine learning techniques can be utilized to study out-of-equilibrium systems and uncover physical principles in thermodynamics.

Summary: Studies show that the dwell time distributions of most transcription factors exhibit bi-exponential behavior, but recent research indicates the presence of more TF populations, or even potentially the absence of discrete states. Certain TFs like the glucocorticoid receptor and estrogen receptor show power-law distributions of dwell times, suggesting a blurred line between non-specific and specific binding, supporting the proposal of a continuum of affinities model for TF dynamics.

Summary: The study reveals that cytoskeletal remodeling can involve anomalously large displacements, similar to earthquakes, indicating a high sensitivity of the cytoskeleton to changing cellular environments. Fluctuations in the network's mechanical energy show non-Gaussian statistics and asymmetrically large rates of energy release compared to accumulation. Machine learning models predict cytoquake occurrence by detecting mechanical instability and changes in tension localization prior to the release of large energy events.

Summary: Landauer's Principle states that the energy cost of information processing must exceed a certain lower limit, but in reality, finite-time information processing may lead to energy dissipation and unreliable outcomes. It has been found that shortcuts can be designed to achieve finite-time computations, but this inevitably results in additional energy dissipation. The robustness of information storage affects the energetic cost of operations.

Summary: This paper presents a formalism for continuous quantum measurement and feedback, covering both linear and nonlinear control. The derived quantum Fokker-Planck master equation describes the joint dynamics of a quantum system and a detector, while a Markovian master equation is derived for fast measurements, allowing for analytical treatment. The formalism is illustrated by investigating a quantum information engine and a classical information engine.

Summary: Stochastic thermodynamics provides a new perspective to analyze heat, work, and entropy production for individual stochastic trajectories of mesoscopic systems. It introduces time into thermodynamic processes through stochastic equations of motion, enabling fine control. This article reviews various strategies for realizing finite-time state-to-state transformations in stochastic systems, such as over and underdamped regimes, and discusses the connection between arbitrary states and non-equilibrium steady states.

Summary: This study presents a simple strategy for constructing an information ratchet or memory-tape model of Maxwell's demon by converting a feedback-controlled model. The underlying network structure of the original model is used to design a set of bit interaction rules for the information ratchet. The new model is analytically solved in the limit of long interaction times and semianalytical phase diagrams of operational modes are obtained for finite-time interactions. Stochastic simulations are conducted to verify the theoretical results.

Summary: In this study, the energy dynamics of a particle in a billiard under rapid periodic drive is investigated. For large driving frequencies, it is found that the particle's energy evolves diffusively, satisfying a Fokker-Planck equation. The analysis reveals three phases of energy evolution: prethermalization, slow energy absorption according to the Fokker-Planck equation, and breakdown of rapid driving assumption for large energies and high speeds. Numerical simulations support the theoretical results presented.

Summary: When a Hamiltonian system with a large number of degrees of freedom is rapidly driven by periodic forces, its energy diffuses and eventually reaches a long-lived prethermal state before heating up more rapidly. In systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, energy can be absorbed indefinitely from the drive until an infinite temperature state is reached.
