We show that the entropy production rate bounds the rate at which physical processes can be performed in stochastic systems far from equilibrium. In particular, we prove the fundamental tradeoff $⟨{\dot{S}}_e⟩\mathcal{T}\ge k_B$ between the entropy flow $⟨{\dot{S}}_e⟩$ into the reservoirs and the mean time $\mathcal{T}$ to complete any process whose time-reversed is exponentially rarer. This dissipation-time uncertainty relation is a novel form of speed limit: the smaller the dissipation, the larger the time to perform a process.

耗散时间不确定性关系

我们表明，熵生产率限制了在远离平衡的随机系统中可以执行物理过程的速率。特别是，我们证明了基本的权衡$⟨{\dot{\mathrm{小号}}}_{Ë}⟩\mathcal{Ť}\ge {ķ}_{乙}$ 之间的熵流 $⟨{\dot{\mathrm{小号}}}_{Ë}⟩$ 进入水库和平均时间 $\mathcal{Ť}$完成任何时间倒数很少见的过程。这种耗散时间不确定性关系是速度限制的一种新颖形式：耗散越小，执行过程的时间就越大。
