Nonequilibrium potential and fluctuation theorems for quantum maps [PDF]
We derive a general fluctuation theorem for quantum maps. The theorem applies to a broad class of quantum dynamics, such as unitary evolution, decoherence, thermalization, and other types of evolution for quantum open systems. The theorem reproduces well-

Time-dependent fluctuation theorem [PDF]
The fluctuation theorem (FT) is a generalization of the second law of thermodynamics that applies to small systems observed for short times. For thermostated systems it gives the probability ratio that entropy will be consumed rather than produced. In the present paper, we propose a version of the FT that applies to thermostated dissipative systems ...

Fluctuation-dissipation theorem for non-equilibrium quantum systems [PDF]
The fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) is a central result in statistical physics, both for classical and quantum systems. It establishes a relationship between the linear response of a system under a time-dependent perturbation and time correlations ...

Testing the Steady-State Fluctuation Relation in the Solar Photospheric Convection
The turbulent thermal convection on the Sun is an example of an irreversible non-equilibrium phenomenon in a quasi-steady state characterized by a continuous entropy production rate.

Fluctuation theorems for quantum master equations [PDF]
A quantum fluctuation theorem for a driven quantum subsystem interacting with its environment is derived based solely on the assumption that its reduced density matrix obeys a closed evolution equation i.e. a quantum master equation (QME).

Fluctuation theorems from Bayesian retrodiction [PDF]
Quantitative studies of irreversibility in statistical mechanics often involve the consideration of a reverse process, whose definition has been the object of many discussions, in particular for quantum mechanical systems. Here we show that the reverse channel very naturally arises from Bayesian retrodiction, both in classical and quantum theories ...

Ensemble Dependence of the Transient Fluctuation Theorem [PDF]
The Fluctuation Theorem gives an analytical expression for the probability of observing second law violating dynamical fluctuations, in nonequilibrium systems. At equilibrium statistical mechanical fluctuations are known to be ensemble dependent.

Fluctuation theorems for excess and housekeeping heats for underdamped systems
We present a simple derivation of the integral fluctuation theorems for excess housekeeping heat for an underdamped Langevin system, without using the concept of dual dynamics.

Entropy production of a closed Hamiltonian system via the detailed fluctuation relation
We revisit the problem of emergent irreversibility in a closed Hamiltonian system in light of the detailed fluctuation relation by invoking an imperfect Loschmidt demon that performs a time-reversal operation with a finite precision.
