本文总结了随机热力学中涨落定理、Jarzynski方程、随机熵、非平衡涨落耗散定理、广义第一定律和第二定律等理论发现的实验结果。我们简要地描述了在机械振荡器、胶体、生物系统和电路上的实验，在这些实验中，使用上述工具测量和表征了非平衡波动的统计特性。我们讨论了主要的发现和缺点。特别强调了信息与热力学之间的联系。最后讨论了随机热力学在今后实验和实际应用中的应用前景。
We summarize in this article the experiments which have been performed to test the theoretical findings in stochastic thermodynamics such as fluctuation theorem, Jarzynski equality, stochastic entropy, out-of-equilibrium fluctuation dissipation theorem, and the generalized first and second laws. We briefly describe experiments on mechanical oscillators, colloids, biological systems, and electric circuits in which the statistical properties of out-of-equilibrium fluctuations have been measured and characterized using the above mentioned tools. We discuss the main findings and drawbacks. Special emphasis is given to the connection between information and thermodynamics. The perspectives and followup of stochastic thermodynamics in future experiments and in practical applications are also discussed.
