Colloquium on Bayesian retrodiction in statistical physics

One month ago I gave a colloquium at the 13th Annual Symposium of the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) in Singapore. I decided to speak about my recent work on the role of Bayesian retrodiction in statistical mechanics — more precisely, in the conceptual foundations underlying fluctuation relations and the second law of thermodynamics.

Occasional references to the yin, the yang, and baseball bats, all point to the previous colloquium by Ruth Kastner (also available on Youtube).

The preprint is available on the arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.02849
