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 with the corresponding distribution for the reverse process.

Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of AmericaClassical fluctuation theorems for work have been obtained theoretically, and verified experimentally, within a nonautonomous framework in which work is performed on a system of interest, S , by the ...

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. Here, we show that such constraints, expressed in the form of the Jarzysnki equality, can be by-passed if one allows for the use of ...

Merits and qualms of work fluctuations in classical fluctuation theorems [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2017 Work is one of the most basic notion in statistical mechanics, with work fluctuation theorems being one central topic in nanoscale thermodynamics. With Hamiltonian chaos commonly thought to provide a foundation for classical statistical mechanics, here we present general salient results regarding how (classical) Hamiltonian chaos generically impacts on

Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2008 Fluctuation theorems, developed over the past 15 years, have resulted in fundamental breakthroughs in our understanding of how irreversibility emerges from reversible dynamics and have provided new statistical mechanical relationships for free-energy changes.

Extension of the Fluctuation Theorem [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2003 Heat fluctuations are studied in a dissipative system with both mechanical and stochastic components for a simple model: a Brownian particle dragged through water by a moving potential. An extended stationary state fluctuation theorem is derived. For infinite time, this reduces to the conventional fluctuation theorem only for small fluctuations; for ...

A topological fluctuation theorem
Nature Communications, 2022 AbstractFluctuation theorems specify the non-zero probability to observe negative entropy production, contrary to a naive expectation from the second law of thermodynamics. For closed particle trajectories in a fluid, Stokes theorem can be used to give a geometric characterization of the entropy production.

The instantaneous fluctuation theorem [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2013 We give a derivation of a new instantaneous fluctuation relation for an arbitrary phase function which is odd under time reversal. The form of this new relation is not obvious, and involves observing the system along its transient phase space trajectory both before and after the point in time at which the fluctuations are being compared. We demonstrate

A local fluctuation theorem [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2001 The fluctuation theorem gives an analytic expression for the probability, in a nonequilibrium system of finite size observed for a finite time, that the dissipative flux will flow in the reverse direction to that required by the second law of thermodynamics. In the present paper a local version of the fluctuation theorem (LFT) is derived heuristically.
