  • Resum

    In discrete-state Markovian systems, many important properties of correlation functions and relaxation dynamics depend on the spectrum of the rate matrix. Here we demonstrate the existence of a universal trade-off between thermodynamic and spectral properties. We show that the entropy production rate, the fundamental thermodynamic cost of a nonequilibrium steady state, bounds the difference between the eigenvalues of a nonequilibrium rate matrix and a reference equilibrium rate matrix. Using this result, we derive thermodynamic bounds on the spectral gap, which governs autocorrelation times and the speed of relaxation to a steady state. We also derive the thermodynamic bounds on the imaginary eigenvalues, which govern the speed of oscillations. We illustrate our approach using a simple model of biomolecular sensing.
