Abstract.We present a quantum mechanical framework for defining the statistics of measurements of $\int dt \hat{A}(t)$, A(t) being a quantum mechanical variable. This is a generalization of the so-called full counting statistics proposed earlier for DC electric currents. We develop an influence functional formalism that allows us to study the quantum system along with the measuring device while fully accounting for the back action of the detector on the system to be measured. We define the full…

It is shown that the quantum coherence of the initial state can lead to measurable effects on the moments of the work done on the system, and the known results are recovered if theinitial state is a statistical mixture of energy eigenstates.

The conventional probabilistic point of view implies that if a particle has a probability $p$ to make a transition from one site to another site, then the average transport should be $⟨Q⟩=p$ with a

It is shown that two paradigmatic schemes that allow one to measure the work distribution can be understood in a unified framework for assessing work fluctuations through a generic quantum detector and described two protocols that are able to yield complementary information.

The impossibility of measuring non-commuting quantum mechanical observables is one of the most fascinating consequences of the quantum mechanical postulates. Hence, to date the investigation of

We discuss the description of full counting statistics in quantum transport with a nonMarkovian master equation. We focus on differences arising from whether charge is considered as a classical or a

Improvements do appear, and in particular, a measurement scheme is developed that acts simultaneously on two copies of the state and allows us to describe a whole class of coherent transformations.

This review article deals with the problem of time for one of the central quantities in quantum information theory: entropy, and shows that entropy can flow internally between subsystems; however, it is shown that this flow is not limited to physical correlations as the literature suggest.
