The first comprehensive graduate-level introduction to stochastic thermodynamics. Stochastic Thermodynamics is a well-defined subfield of statistical physics that aims to interpret thermodynamic concepts for systems ranging in size from a few to hundreds of nanometers. The behaviour of these systems is inherently random due to thermal fluctuations. This growing field, therefore, describes the nonequilibrium dynamics of small systems, such as...
