Small systems, nonequilibrium fluctuations

NONEQUILIBRIUM FLUCTUATIONS IN SMALL SYSTEMS FROM PHYSICS TO BIOLOGY... [Pg.31]

The world surrounding us is mostly out of equihbrium, equilibrium being just an idealization that requires specific conditions to be met in the laboratory. Even today we do not have a general theory about nonequilibrium macroscopic systems as we have for equilibrium ones. Onsager theory is probably the most successful attempt, albeit its domain of validity is restricted to the linear response regime. In small systems the situation seems to be the opposite. Over the past years, a set of theoretical results that go under the name of fluctuation theorems have been unveiled. These theorems make specific predictions about energy processes in small systems that can be scrutinized in the laboratory. [Pg.33]
