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 ...

Fluctuation theorems, quantum channels and gravitational algebras [PDF]
Journal of High Energy PhysicsIn this note we study nonequilibrium fluctuations in gravitational algebras within de Sitter space. An essential aspect of this study is quantum measurement theory, which allows us to access the dynamical fluctuations of observables via a two-point ...

Work as an external quantum observable and an operational quantum work fluctuation theorem
Physical Review Research, 2020 We propose a definition of externally measurable quantum work in driven systems. Work is given as a quantum observable on a control device which is forcing the system and can be determined without knowledge of the system Hamiltonian H[over ̂]_{S}.

Quantum algorithms from fluctuation theorems: Thermal-state preparation [PDF]
Quantum, 2022 Fluctuation theorems provide a correspondence between properties of quantum systems in thermal equilibrium and a work distribution arising in a non-equilibrium process that connects two quantum systems with Hamiltonians $H_0$ and $H_1=H_0+V$.

Physical Review Research, 2023 The cycle current is a crucial quantity in stochastic thermodynamics. The absolute and net cycle currents of a Markovian system can be defined in the loop-erased (LE) or spanning tree (ST) manner.

Entropy, 2021 Nonequilibrium work relations have fundamentally advanced our understanding of molecular processes. In recent years, fluctuation theorems have been extensively applied to understand transitions between equilibrium steady-states, commonly described by ...

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.
