Geometrical aspects of entropy production in stochastic thermodynamics based on Wasserstein distance
We study a relationship between optimal transport theory and stochastic thermodynamics for the Fokker-Planck equation. We show that the lower bound on the entropy production is the action measured by the path length of the L^{2}-Wasserstein distance. Because the L^{2}-Wasserstein distance is a geome...
