Quantum Jarzynski Equality in Open Quantum Systems from the One-Time Measurement Scheme

Journal Article Sone, Akira ; Liu, Yi-Xiang ; Cappellaro, Paola - Physical Review Letters

In open quantum systems, a clear distinction between work and heat is often challenging, and extending the quantum Jarzynski equality to systems evolving under general quantum channels beyond unitality remains an open problem in quantum thermodynamics. In this Letter, we introduce well-defined notions of guessed quantum heat and guessed quantum work, by exploiting the one-time measurement scheme, which only requires an initial energy measurement on the system alone. We derive a modified quantum Jarzynski equality and the principle of maximum work with respect to the guessed quantum work, which requires the knowledge of the system only. We further show themore »« less

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 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

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.

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.
