Entropy production limits all fluctuation oscillations
Naoto Shiraishi
Abstract
The oscillation of fluctuation with two state observables is investigated. Following the idea of Ohga et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 077101 (2023)10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.077101], we find that the fluctuation oscillation relative to their autocorrelations is bounded from above by the entropy production per characteristic maximum oscillation time. Our result applies to a variety of systems including Langevin systems, chemical reaction systems, and macroscopic systems. In addition, our bound consists of experimentally tractable quantities, which enables us to examine our inequality experimentally.
