Two approaches are outlined to characterize the fluctuation behavior of work applied to a system by a slow change of a parameter. One approach uses the adiabatic theorems of quantum and classical…
Series Expansion of the Excess Work Using Nonlinear Response Theory
The calculation of observable averages in non-equilibrium regimes is one of the most important problems in statistical physics. Using the Hamiltonian approach of nonlinear response theory, we obtain…

TLDR
A generalized version of the fluctuation theorem is derived for stochastic, microscopically reversible dynamics and this generalized theorem provides a succinct proof of the nonequilibrium work relation.
Fluctuation theorems for quantum processes.
TLDR
It is shown that for a specific class of generalized measurements, which include projective measurements, unitality replaces microreversibility as the condition for the physicality of the reverse process in the authors' fluctuation theorems.

TLDR
Efficiency and, in particular, efficiency at maximum power can be discussed systematically beyond the linear response regime for two classes of molecular machines, isothermal ones such as molecular motors, and heat engines such as thermoelectric devices, using a common framework based on a cycle decomposition of entropy production.

TLDR
Two identities in statistical mechanics involving entropy differences (or ratios of densities of states) at constant energy are derived and can be conveniently used in conjunction with a scaling relation that allows one to extrapolate measurements taken at a single energy to a wide range of energy values.
Thermodynamic laws in isolated systems.
TLDR
A detailed comparison of the most commonly considered microcanonical entropy definitions shows that, for a broad class of systems that includes all standard classical Hamiltonian systems, only the Gibbs volume entropy fulfills all three laws of thermodynamics simultaneously.
Colloquium: Quantum fluctuation relations: Foundations and applications
Two fundamental ingredients play a decisive role in the foundation of fluctuation relations: the principle of microreversibility and the fact that thermal equilibrium is described by the Gibbs…
The Fluctuation Theorem
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…
Equalities and Inequalities: Irreversibility and the Second Law of Thermodynamics at the Nanoscale
The reason we never observe violations of the second law of thermodynamics is in part a matter of statistics: When ∼1023 degrees of freedom are involved, the odds are overwhelmingly stacked against…
Verification of the Quantum Nonequilibrium Work Relation in the Presence of Decoherence
Although nonequilibrium work and fluctuation relations have been studied in detail within classical statistical physics, extending these results to open quantum systems has proven to be conceptually…
Using a quantum work meter to test non-equilibrium fluctuation theorems
TLDR
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 identity using cold atoms on an atomic chip.
