Abstract

We present the stochastic thermodynamic analysis of a time-periodic single-particle pump, including explicit results for flux, thermodynamic force, entropy production, work, heat, and efficiency. These results are valid far from equilibrium. The deviations from the linear (Onsager) regime are discussed.
