Description
We provide a minimal strategy for the quantitative analysis of a large class of non-equilibrium systems in transient or steady state using the short-time Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation (TUR). From short-time trajectory data obtained from numerics or experiments, we demonstrate how we can simultaneously infer quantitatively, both the thermodynamic force field acting on the system, as well as the exact rate of entropy production. We benchmark the scheme against exactly solvable models, before applying it to cases where neither analytical nor numerical results are available.
