Classical and quantum fluctuation theorems for heat exchange.
The statistics of heat exchange between two classical or quantum finite systems initially prepared at different temperatures are shown to obey a fluctuation theorem.
متن کاملFluctuation theorems for quantum processes.
We present fluctuation theorems and moment generating function equalities for generalized thermodynamic observables and quantum dynamics described by completely positive trace preserving maps, with and without feedback control. Our results include the quantum Jarzynski equality and Crooks fluctuation theorem, and clarify the special role played by the thermodynamic work and thermal equilibrium ...
متن کاملGeneralized fluctuation theorems for classical systems.
The fluctuation theorem has a very special place in the study of nonequilibrium dynamics of physical systems. The form in which it is used most extensively is the Gallavoti-Cohen fluctuation theorem which is in terms of the distribution of the work p(W)/p(-W)=exp(αW). We derive the general form of the fluctuation theorems for an arbitrary multidimensional Gaussian Markov process. Interestingly,...
متن کاملMicrocanonical quantum fluctuation theorems.
Previously derived expressions for the characteristic function of work performed on a quantum system by a classical external force are generalized to arbitrary initial states of the considered system and to Hamiltonians with degenerate spectra. In the particular case of microcanonical initial states, explicit expressions for the characteristic function and the corresponding probability density ...
متن کاملQuantum Proofs for Classical Theorems
Alongside the development of quantum algorithms and quantum complexity theory in recent years, quantum techniques have also proved instrumental in obtaining results in diverse classical (non-quantum) areas, such as coding theory, communication complexity, and polynomial approximations. In this paper we survey these results and the quantum toolbox they use. ACM Classification: F.1.2 AMS Classifi...
