Abstract
Starting out from the recently established quantum correlation function expression of the characteristic function for the work performed by a force protocol on the system [cond-mat/0703213] the quantum version of the Crooks fluctuation theorem is shown to emerge almost immediately by the mere application of an inverse Fourier transformation.
