An estimator of entropy production for partially accessible Markov networks based on the observation of blurred transitions
Published 13 Dec 2023 in cond-mat.stat-mech | (2312.08246v2)
Abstract: A central task in stochastic thermodynamics is the estimation of entropy production for partially accessible Markov networks. We establish an effective transition-based description for such networks with transitions that are not distinguishable and therefore blurred for an external observer. We demonstrate that, in contrast to a description based on fully resolved transitions, this effective description is typically non-Markovian at any point in time. Starting from an information-theoretic bound, we derive an operationally accessible entropy estimator for this observation scenario. We illustrate the operational relevance and the quality of this entropy estimator with a numerical analysis of various representative examples.
