Minimum energetic cost to maintain a target nonequilibrium state
In the absence of external driving, a system exposed to thermal fluctuations will relax to equilibrium. However, the constant input of work makes it possible to counteract this relaxation and maintain the system in a nonequilibrium steady state. In this article, we use the stochastic thermodynamics...
