Advances in Physics, 2002 The question of how reversible microscopic equations of motion can lead to irreversible macroscopic behaviour has been one of the central issues in statistical mechanics for more than a century. The basic issues were known to Gibbs. Boltzmann conducted a very public debate with Loschmidt and others without a satisfactory resolution.

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

Stochastic Thermodynamics of a Finite Quantum System Coupled to Two Heat Baths
Entropy, 2023 We consider a situation where an N-level system (NLS) is coupled successively to two heat baths with different temperatures without being necessarily thermalized and approaches a steady state. For this situation we apply a general Jarzynski-type equation

Relativistic fluctuation theorems [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2007 To reveal how nonequilibrium physics and relativity theory intertwine, this article studies relativistic Brownian motion under cosmic expansion. Two fluctuation theorems for the entropy Δ s , which is locally produced in this extreme nonequilibrium situation, are presented and proven.

Harnessing fluctuations in thermodynamic computing via time-reversal symmetries
Physical Review Research, 2021 We experimentally demonstrate that highly structured distributions of work emerge during even the simple task of erasing a single bit. These are signatures of a refined suite of time-reversal symmetries in distinct functional classes of microscopic ...

Fluctuation Dissipation Theorem [PDF]
Physical Review, 1956 The fluctuation dissipation theorem (Nyquist formula) is shown to be exact and a number of generalizations of it are given, including a four-dimensional formulation which is useful in the quantum theory of fields. The more general theorem can be used to calculate vacuum expectation values of field operators, and to deduce covariant commutation ...

The Kawasaki identity and the Fluctuation Theorem [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004 In this paper we show that the Fluctuation Theorem of Evans and Searles [D. J. Evans, D. J. Searles, Phys. Rev. E 50, 1645 (1994)] implies that the Kawasaki function 〈exp(−Ωt)〉 is unity for all time t. We confirm this relationship using experimental data obtained using optical tweezers, and show that the Kawasaki function is a valuable diagnostic tool.
