Strong coupling thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics from the unifying perspective of time-scale separation
Assuming time-scale separation, a simple and unified theory of thermodynamics and stochastic thermodynamics is constructed for small classical systems strongly interacting with their environments in a controllable fashion. The total Hamiltonian is decomposed into a bath part and a system part, the l...
