  • Title: Nonequilibrium potential and fluctuation theorems for quantum maps.
    Author: Manzano G, Horowitz JM, Parrondo JM.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2015 Sep; 92(3):032129. PubMed ID: 26465448.
    Abstract:
    We derive a general fluctuation theorem for quantum maps. The theorem applies to a broad class of quantum dynamics, such as unitary evolution, decoherence, thermalization, and other types of evolution for quantum open systems. The theorem reproduces well-known fluctuation theorems in a single and simplified framework and extends the Hatano-Sasa theorem to quantum nonequilibrium processes. Moreover, it helps to elucidate the physical nature of the environment that induces a given dynamics in an open quantum system.
