The minimum entropy production principle provides an approximative variational characterization of close-to-equilibrium stationary states, both for macroscopic systems and for stochastic models. Analyzing the fluctuations of the empirical distribution of occupation times for a class of Markov processes, we identify the entropy production as the large deviation rate function, up to leading order when expanding around a detailed balance dynamics. In that way, the minimum entropy production principle is recognized as a consequence of the structure of dynamical fluctuations, and its approximate character gets an explanation. We also discuss the subtlety emerging when applying the principle to systems whose degrees of freedom change sign under kinematical time-reversal.

The quench dynamics of many-body quantum systems may exhibit non-analyticities in the Loschmidt echo, a phenomenon known as dynamical phase transition (DPT). Despite considerable research into the underlying mechanisms behind this phenomenon, several
open questions still remain. Motivated by this, we put forth a detailed study of DPTs from the perspective of quantum phase space and entropy production, a key concept in thermodynamics. We focus on the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model and use spin coherent states to construct the corresponding Husimi-$Q$ quasi-probability distribution. The entropy of the $Q$-function, known as Wehrl entropy, provides a measure of the coarse-grained dynamics of the system and, therefore, evolves non-trivially even for closed systems. We show that critical quenches lead to a quasi-monotonic growth of the Wehrl entropy in time, combined with small oscillations. The former reflects the information scrambling characteristic of these transitions and serves as a measure of entropy production. On the other hand, the small oscillations imply negative entropy production rates and, therefore, signal the recurrences of the Loschmidt echo. Finally, we also study a Gaussification of the model based on a modified Holstein-Primakoff approximation. This allows us to identify the relative contribution of the low energy sector to the emergence of DPTs. The results presented in this article are relevant not only from the dynamical quantum phase transition perspective, but also for the field of quantum thermodynamics, since they point out that the Wehrl entropy can be used as a viable measure of entropy production.
Fluctuation geometry was recently proposed as a counterpart approach of Riemannian geometry of inference theory. This theory describes the geometric features of the statistical manifold $mathcal{M}$ of random events that are described by a family of
continuous distributions $dp(x|theta)$. A main goal of this work is to clarify the statistical relevance of Levi-Civita curvature tensor $R_{ijkl}(x|theta)$ of the statistical manifold $mathcal{M}$. For this purpose, the notion of emph{irreducible statistical correlations} is introduced. Specifically, a distribution $dp(x|theta)$ exhibits irreducible statistical correlations if every distribution $dp(check{x}|theta)$ obtained from $dp(x|theta)$ by considering a coordinate change $check{x}=phi(x)$ cannot be factorized into independent distributions as $dp(check{x}|theta)=prod_{i}dp^{(i)}(check{x}^{i}|theta)$. It is shown that the curvature tensor $R_{ijkl}(x|theta)$ arises as a direct indicator about the existence of irreducible statistical correlations. Moreover, the curvature scalar $R(x|theta)$ allows to introduce a criterium for the applicability of the emph{gaussian approximation} of a given distribution function. This type of asymptotic result is obtained in the framework of the second-order geometric expansion of the distributions family $dp(x|theta)$, which appears as a counterpart development of the high-order asymptotic theory of statistical estimation. In physics, fluctuation geometry represents the mathematical apparatus of a Riemannian extension for Einsteins fluctuation theory of statistical mechanics. Some exact results of fluctuation geometry are now employed to derive the emph{invariant fluctuation theorems}.
Active biological systems reside far from equilibrium, dissipating heat even in their steady state, thus requiring an extension of conventional equilibrium thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. In this Letter, we have extended the emerging framew
ork of stochastic thermodynamics to active matter. In particular, for the active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck model, we have provided consistent definitions of thermodynamic quantities such as work, energy, heat, entropy, and entropy production at the level of single, stochastic trajectories and derived related fluctuation relations. We have developed a generalization of the Clausius inequality, which is valid even in the presence of the non-Hamiltonian dynamics underlying active matter systems. We have illustrated our results with explicit numerical studies.
We investigate the entanglement for a model of a particle moving in the lattice (many-body system). The interaction between the particle and the lattice is modelled using Hookes law. The Feynman path integral approach is applied to compute the densit
y matrix of the system. The complexity of the problem is reduced by considering two-body system (bipartite system). The spatial entanglement of ground state is studied using the linear entropy. We find that increasing the confining potential implies a large spatial separation between the two particles. Thus the interaction between the particles increases according to Hookes law. This results in the increase in the spatial entanglement.
We present an information geometric characterization of quantum driving schemes specified by su(2;C) time-dependent Hamiltonians in terms of both complexity and efficiency concepts. By employing a minimum action principle, the optimum path connecting
initial and final states on the manifold in finite-time is the geodesic path between the two states. In particular, the total entropy production that occurs during the transfer is minimized along these optimum paths. For each optimum path that emerges from the given quantum driving scheme, we evaluate the so-called information geometric complexity (IGC) and our newly proposed measure of entropic efficiency constructed in terms of the constant entropy production rates that specify the entropy minimizing paths being compared. From our analytical estimates of complexity and efficiency, we provide a relative ranking among the driving schemes being investigated. Finally, we conclude by commenting on the fact that an higher entropic speed in quantum transfer processes seems to necessarily go along with a lower entropic efficiency together with a higher information geometric complexity.
