Nowadays, there exists a vibrant community of statistical physicists working in stochastic thermodynamics. While much of the initial progress in this field was theoretical or focused on thought experiments such as the celebrated Maxwell demon, impressive technological advances in recent years have enabled tests of many of the fundamental principles. The workshop Stochastic Thermodynamics: Experiment and Theory, held at the Max-Planck Institute for Complex Systems in Dresden, 10–14 September 2018, had as a primary goal to bring together theorists and experimentalists to discuss the state of the art stochastic thermodynamics and the main future challenges. The workshop was characterized by a vibrant atmosphere, with participants from all over the world sharing their views on the latest results and the outstanding open questions in this field. Many of these discussions have resulted in novel collaborations and significant steps forward. This special edition of Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment collects the outcome of these discussions.}, title = {Stochastic thermodynamics: experiment and theory}, volume = {2020}, year = {2020} }
