Stochastic thermodynamics has emerged as a comprehensive theoretical
framework for a large class of non-equilibrium systems including
molecular motors, biochemical reaction networks, colloidal particles
in time-dependent laser traps, and bio-polymers under external forces.
This book introduces the topic in a systematic way, beginning with a
dynamical perspective on equilibrium statistical physics. Key concepts
like the identification of work, heat and entropy production along
individual stochastic trajectories are then developed and shown to
obey various fluctuation relations beyond the well-established linear
response regime. Representative applications are then discussed,
including simple models of molecular motors, small chemical reaction
networks, active particles, stochastic heat engines and information
machines involving Maxwell demons. This book is ideal for graduate
students and researchers of physics, biophysics, and physical
chemistry, with an interest in non-equilibrium phenomena.
