Thermodynamic fluctuation theorems govern human sensorimotor learning [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The application of thermodynamic reasoning in the study of learning systems has a long tradition. Recently, new tools relating perfect thermodynamic adaptation to the adaptation process have been developed.

Joint Fluctuation Theorems for Sequential Heat Exchange [PDF]
Entropy, 2020 We study the statistics of heat exchange of a quantum system that collides sequentially with an arbitrary number of ancillas. This can describe, for instance, an accelerated particle going through a bubble chamber.

Fully Quantum Fluctuation Theorems [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2018 Systems that are driven out of thermal equilibrium typically dissipate random quantities of energy on microscopic scales. Crooks fluctuation theorem relates the distribution of these random work costs to the corresponding distribution for the reverse ...

Detailed Fluctuation Theorems: A Unifying Perspective [PDF]
Entropy, 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.

General relativistic fluctuation theorems
Physics Letters BUsing the recently proposed covariant framework of general relativistic stochastic mechanics and stochastic thermodynamics, we proved the detailed and integral fluctuation theorems in curved spacetime.

Fluctuation Theorems for Heat Exchanges between Passive and Active Baths [PDF]
EntropyIn addition to providing general constraints on probability distributions, fluctuation theorems allow us to infer essential information on the role played by temperature in heat exchange phenomena.

Using a quantum work meter to test non-equilibrium fluctuation theorems [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Defining and measuring work and heat are non-trivial tasks in the quantum regime. Here, the authors design a scheme to directly sample from the work probability distribution, and use it to verify the validity of the quantum version of the Jarzynksi ...

Jarzyski’s Equality and Crooks’ Fluctuation Theorem for General Markov Chains with Application to Decision-Making Systems [PDF]
Entropy, 2022 We define common thermodynamic concepts purely within the framework of general Markov chains and derive Jarzynski’s equality and Crooks’ fluctuation theorem in this setup.

Nonequilibrium fluctuation theorems from equilibrium fluctuations
New Journal of Physics, 2013 A system can be driven to nonequilibrium behavior in the presence of thermodynamic imbalances in its environment, such as temperature or chemical potential differences.

By-passing fluctuation theorems [PDF]
Quantum, 2020 Fluctuation theorems impose constraints on possible work extraction probabilities in thermodynamical processes. These constraints are stronger than the usual second law, which is concerned only with average values.
