How to measure the entropy of a mesoscopic system via thermoelectric transport

Advances in nanotechnology make it possible to probe traditionally macroscopic notions of thermodynamics at the mesoscopic scale. Here the authors propose a method that can determine the entropy of a quantum dot system from transport measurements.
