Entropy production along a stochastic trajectory of a small system Joseph X. Zhou Biological Physics group MPI-PKS Jam session, June 6, 2008

[object Object],Why talking about Thermodynamics ? Thermodynamics is a funny subject. The first time you go through it, you don't understand it at all. The second time you go through it, you think you understand it, except for one or two small points. The third time you go through it, you know you don't understand it, but by that time you are so used to it, it doesn't bother you any more. - Arnold Sommerfeld ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],When we move to small world… ,[object Object]
