In recent decades, stochastic thermodynamics has been developed to study the thermodynamics of microscopic nonequilibrium systems. This development has resulted in the extension of the laws of thermodynamics to stochastic systems and the discovery of universal thermodynamic relations, which are expressed as non-trivial lower bounds on entropy production. These bounds have various useful applications, such as the inference method of entropy production from experimental data without the knowledge of the dynamics. In this presentation, I will provide a brief overview of the thermodynamic bounds on entropy production and their applications to entropy production measurement. Then, I will discuss my previous works on (i) the modified bounds in the presence of magnetic Lorentz force and (ii) thermodynamic bound-based entropy production inference. If time permits, I will briefly explain my recent findings on the equation of motion to describe microscopic systems with strong-coupling effects.
