Nonequilibrium systems exchange the energy with an environment in the form of work and heat. The work done on a system obeys the fluctuation theorem, while the dissipated heat which differs from the work by the internal energy change does…

We consider in this paper, a few important issues in non-equilibrium work fluctuations and their relations to equilibrium free energies. First we show that Jarzynski identity can be viewed as a cumulant expansion of work. For a switching…
Non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics is essential to describe new devices that operate far from the regime where the usual thermodynamical laws are obeyed. When quantum fluctuations dominate, defining and measuring work and heat, two…
Detailed fluctuation theorem, a microscopic version of the steady state fluctuation theorem, has been proposed by Jarzynski and demonstrated in the case of Hamiltonian systems weakly coupled with reservoirs. We show that an identical…
We probe the validity of Crooks' fluctuation relation on the fluctuating lattice-Boltzmann model (FLBM), a highly simplified lattice model for a thermal ideal gas. We drive the system between two thermodynamic equilibrium states and compute…
