Abstract
We consider an open two-level system driven by a piecewise constant periodic field and described by a rate equation with Fermi, Bose and Arrhenious rates respectively. We derive an analytical expression for the generating function and large deviation function of the work performed by the field and show that a work fluctuation theorem holds.
