• Abstract: Understanding current fluctuations is of fundamental importance and paves the way for the development of practical applications. According to the thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations, the precision of currents can be constrained solely by total entropy production or dynamical activity. In this study, we derive a tighter bound on the precision of currents in terms of both thermodynamic and kinetic quantities, demonstrating that these quantities jointly constrain current fluctuations. The thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations become particular cases of our result in asymptotic limits. Intriguingly, the unified thermodynamic-kinetic uncertainty relation leads to a tighter classical speed limit, refining the time constraint on the system's state transformation. The proposed framework can be extended to apply to state observables and systems with unidirectional transitions, thereby providing a constraint on the precision of the first-passage time.

  In this work, we investigate the critical fingerprints appearing in key thermodynamical quantities for a mean-field critical system. The presence of a mean-field critical point in a finite-time cycle leads to constant irreversible work even in the limit of infinitely slow driving. We find that the probability of observing negative work values, corresponding to negative irreversible entropy, is inversely proportional to the time the system remains near to the critical point.

• Ultimate precision limit of quantum thermal machines [1.9580473532948401]
  The thermodynamic uncertainty relation states that the relative variance of thermodynamic currents decreases as entropy production increases. It is evident that realizing infinitely large entropy production is infeasible in reality. We derive bounds on the relative variance and the expectation of observables, applicable to any unitary evolution of the composite system.

  Physical devices operating out of equilibrium are inherently affected by thermal fluctuations, limiting their operational precision. Our theoretical discovery presents an quantum many-body system that achieves clock precision scaling exponentially with entropy dissipation. This finding demonstrates that coherent quantum dynamics can surpass the traditional thermodynamic precision limits, potentially guiding the development of future high-precision, low-dissipation quantum devices.

  We study the many-body dynamics in a continuously monitored free fermion system with conditional feedback under open boundary conditions. We find a novel dynamical transition from a logarithmic scaling of the entanglement entropy to an area-law scaling as time evolves. In addition, we find that while quasidisorder or disorder cannot drive a transition for the steady state, a transition occurs for the maximum entanglement entropy during the time evolution.

  thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations indicate trade-offs between the relative fluctuation of observables and thermodynamic quantities. We derive finite-time lower bounds on the relative fluctuation of both dynamical observables and their first passage times for arbitrary initial states. We find that the product of the relative fluctuation and entropy production or dynamical activity is enhanced by quantum coherence in a generic class of dissipative processes of systems with nondegenerate energy levels.
