Group introduction

Thermodynamics is an essential tool for understanding how to make an energy transformation more efficient and effective.

Conventional thermodynamics, in particular, has provided us with a comprehensive understanding of thermodynamic phenomena of macroscopic systems at equilibrium.

This research group aims to study the thermodynamics of microscopic nonequilibrium systems through the extension of thermodynamic concepts to fluctuating systems.

We investigate a broad range of issues in microscopic systems including active matters and quantum systems using statistical formalism for stochastic processes, e.g. universal trade-off relations, fundamental efficiency bounds, inference of the experimentally infeasible entropy production, etc.

S-PA meeting [Webpage]

Statistical Physics group in APCTP meeting (S-PA meeting), is a weekly journal club meeting aimed at sharing recent trends and various topics in statistical physics among researchers at APCTP who are working in this field. The topics includes stochastic thermodynamics, active matters, complex systems, game theory, quantum oscillators, and so on.
