Event details
Microscopic systems operating far from equilibrium appear to be fundamentally constrained by thermodynamics. In particular, the precision and the duration of nonequilibrium processes is limited by their dissipation. I will review these bounds [1,2], add further results that point to a general dissipation-speed-reliability trade-off [3], but also enquire about their actual domain of applicability in complex mesoscopic systems.
