Description
The second law of thermodynamics presupposes a clear-cut
distinction between the controllable and uncontrollable degrees of
freedom by means of macroscopic operations. The cutting-edge
technologies in quantum information and nanoscience seem to require us
to abondon such a working hypothesis in favor of the distinction between
the accessible and inaccessible degrees of freedom. In this talk, I will
talk about the fundamentals of such information thermodynamics together
with the related new results on fluctuation theorems.
