Calorimetric measurement of work for a driven harmonic oscillator.
A calorimetric measurement has recently been proposed as a promising technique to measure thermodynamic quantities in a dissipative superconducting qubit. These measurements rely on the fact that the system is projected into energy eigenstates whenever energy is exchanged with the environment. This requirement imposes a restriction on the class of systems that can be measured in this way. Here ...
متن کاملExperimental study of work fluctuations in a harmonic oscillator
The work fluctuations of a harmonic oscillator in contact with a thermostat and driven out of equilibrium by an external force are studied experimentally. For the work both the transient and stationary state fluctuation theorems hold. The finite time corrections are very different from those of a first order Langevin equation. The heat and work fluctuations are studied when a periodic forcing i...
متن کاملepl draft Steady state fluctuation relations for systems driven by an external random force
We experimentally study the fluctuations of the work done by an external Gaussian random force on two different stochastic systems coupled to a thermal bath: a colloidal particle in an optical trap and an atomic force microscopy cantilever. We determine the corresponding probability density functions for different random forcing amplitudes ranging from a small fraction to several times the ampl...
متن کاملManipulating single enzymes by an external harmonic force.
We study a Michaelis-Menten reaction for a single two-state enzyme molecule, whose transition rates between the two conformations are modulated by an harmonically oscillating external force. In particular, we obtain a range of optimal driving frequencies for changing the conformation of the enzyme, thereby controlling the enzymatic activity (i.e., product formation). This analysis demonstrates ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behavior of the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Driven by a Random Time-dependent Electric Field
This paper investigates the evolution of the state vector of a charged quantum particle in a harmonic oscillator driven by a time-dependent electric eld. The external eld randomly oscillates and its amplitude is small, but it acts long enough so that we can solve the problem in the asymptotic framework corresponding to a eld amplitude which tends to zero and a eld duration which tends to innnit...
