contents Entropy production (EP) is a key quantity in thermodynamics, and yet measuring EP has remained a challenging task. Here we introduce an EP estimator, called multidimensional entropic bound (MEB), utilizing an ensemble of trajectories without knowing the details of a given system. MEB is a unified method in the sense that it is applicable to both overdamped and underdamped Langevin dynamics, irrespective of the time dependence of the driving protocol. In addition, MEB is computationally efficient because optimization is unnecessary. We apply our developed estimator to three physical systems driven by time-dependent protocols pertaining to experiments using optical tweezers: a dragged Brownian particle, a pulling process of a harmonic chain, and an unfolding process of an RNA hairpin. Numerical simulations confirm the validity and efficiency of our method.
