Quantum crooks fluctuation theorem and quantum Jarzynski equality in the presence of a reservoir

Journal Article Quan, H T ; Dong, H - Physical Review E

We consider the quantum mechanical generalization of Crooks Fluctuation and Jarzynski Equality Theorem for an open quantum system. The explicit expression for microscopic work for an arbitrary prescribed protocol is obtained, and the relation between quantum Crooks Fluctuation Theorem, quantum Jarzynski Equality and their classical counterparts are clarified. Numerical simulations based on a two-level toy model are used to demonstrate the validity of the quantum version of the two theorems beyond linear response theory regime.

Jarzynski equality in PT-symmetric quantum mechanics

Journal Article Deffner, Sebastian ; Saxena, Avadh - Physical Review Letters

We show that the quantum Jarzynski equality generalizes to PT -symmetric quantum mechanics with unbroken PT -symmetry. In the regime of broken PT -symmetry the Jarzynski equality does not hold as also the CPT -norm is not preserved during the dynamics. These findings are illustrated for an experimentally relevant system – two coupled optical waveguides. It turns out that for these systems the phase transition between the regimes of unbroken and broken PT -symmetry is thermodynamically inhibited as the irreversible work diverges at the critical point.

Jarzynski Equality for Driven Quantum Field Theories

Journal Article Bartolotta, Anthony ; Deffner, Sebastian - Physical Review. X

The fluctuation theorems, and in particular, the Jarzynski equality, are the most important pillars of modern nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. We extend the quantum Jarzynski equality together with the two-time measurement formalism to their ultimate range of validity—to quantum field theories. To this end, we focus on a time-dependent version of scalar Φ⁴. We find closed-form expressions for the resulting work distribution function, and we find that they are proper physical observables of the quantum field theory. Also, we show explicitly that the Jarzynski equality and Crooks fluctuation theorems hold at one-loop order independent of the renormalization scale. As a numericalmore »« less

Comment on ``Experimental Free Energy Reconstruction From Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy Using Jarzynski's Equality''

Journal Article Friddle, R W - Physical Review Letters

Harris, Song and Kiang [1] (HSK) describe their results on reconstructing the free energy profiles for both the stretch of the titin polymer, and the unfolding of an individual I27 domain. The new finding reported in [1] is the measurement of the free energy barrier (or activation energy) to unfolding the I27 domain. Due to a misinterpretation of the mechanics involved, the free energy surface (and thus the energy barrier) to unfolding the I27 domain was not measured.

Use of firm neutral data standard communications protocol in a utility and energy monitoring and control system environment: A demonstration. Final report

Technical Report Strohl, R L ; Schwenk, D M ; Herron, D L

The operation of building and utility systems at many U.S. Army, Europe (USAREUR) installations is controlled and managed by Utility and Energy Monitoring and Control Systems (UEMCS). Commercially available hardware/software direct digital control (DDC) systems exchange data between individual microprocessors within the system using complex, proprietary communication protocols. As a result, different vendors` DDC systems are not normally communications compatible. Firm Neutral Data (FND) transmission is a standard communication protocol developed by the German Government that permits different vendors` DDC hardware to be interfaced with a common front-end computer called a central station. This study demonstrated the use of FNDmore »« less
