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.

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.

Fluctuation Theorems for a Quantum Channel [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2019 We establish the general framework of quantum fluctuation theorems by finding the symmetry between the forward and backward transitions of any given quantum channel.

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 ...

Quantum Fluctuation Theorems for Arbitrary Environments: Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Entropy Production [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2018 We analyze the production of entropy along nonequilibrium processes in quantum systems coupled to generic environments. First, we show that the entropy production due to final measurements and the loss of correlations obeys a fluctuation theorem in ...

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.

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.

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.

Fluctuation theorems: Work is not an observable [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2007 The characteristic function of the work performed by an external time-dependent force on a Hamiltonian quantum system is identified with the time-ordered correlation function of the exponentiated system's Hamiltonian. A similar expression is obtained for the averaged exponential work which is related to the free energy difference of equilibrium systems

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.
