Here you can find my notes from the lecture on Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics by Chris Jarzynski from University of Maryland. His lecture is available on YouTube:
My handwritten notes can be found here. Note that the audio at the third part is missing, so I have tried my best to follow what he was writing on the board, but I might have missed some points.
Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics is the fundamental theory behind diffusion probabilistic models, introduced in the paper Deep Unsupervised Learning using Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics.
