Computing Equilibrium Free Energies Using Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
As shown by Jarzynski, free energy differences between equilibrium states can be expressed in terms of the statistics of work carried out on a system during non-equilibrium transformations.

An integral fluctuation theorem for systems with unidirectional transitions

open access: yes, 2014
The fluctuations of a Markovian jump process with one or more unidirectional transitions, where $R_{ij} >0$ but $R_{ji} =0$, are studied. We find that such systems satisfy an integral fluctuation theorem.

Onsager-Machlup theory for nonequilibrium steady states and fluctuation theorems

open access: yes, 2006
A generalization of the Onsager-Machlup theory from equilibrium to nonequilibrium steady states and its connection with recent fluctuation theorems are discussed for a dragged particle restricted by a harmonic potential in a heat reservoir.

Heat fluctuations and fluctuation theorems in the case of multiple reservoirs

open access: yes, 2014
We consider heat fluctuations and fluctuation theorems for systems driven by multiple reservoirs. We establish a fundamental symmetry obeyed by the joint probability distribution for the heat transfers and system coordinates.

Finite-dimensional colored fluctuation-dissipation theorem for spin systems

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2017
When nano-magnets are coupled to random external sources, their magnetization becomes a random variable, whose properties are defined by an induced probability density, that can be reconstructed from its moments, using the Langevin equation, for mapping ...

Detailed Fluctuation Theorems: A Unifying Perspective

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
We present a general method to identify an arbitrary number of fluctuating quantities which satisfy a detailed fluctuation theorem for all times within the framework of time-inhomogeneous Markovian jump processes.

Holevo's bound from a general quantum fluctuation theorem

open access: yes, 2012
We give a novel derivation of Holevo's bound using an important result from nonequilibrium statistical physics, the fluctuation theorem. To do so we develop a general formalism of quantum fluctuation theorems for two-time measurements, which explicitly ...

Fluctuation theorem for entropy production of a partial system in the weak coupling limit

open access: yes, 2016
Small systems in contact with a heat bath evolve by stochastic dynamics. Here we show that, when one such small system is weakly coupled to another one, it is possible to infer the presence of such weak coupling by observing the violation of the steady ...

Energy conservation and fluctuation theorem are incompatible for quantum work [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum
Characterizing fluctuations of work in coherent quantum systems is notoriously problematic. Here we reveal the ultimate source of the problem by proving that ($\mathfrak{A}$) energy conservation and ($\mathfrak{B}$) the Jarzynski fluctuation theorem ...
