We extend the well-established action of the Higgs mode in $s$-wave superconductors to include quantum fluctuations (QFs). We find that already one-loop quantum corrections to the Higgs propagator shift its eigenfrequency below the…
Two fundamental ingredients play a decisive role in the foundation of fluctuation relations: the principle of microreversibility and the fact that thermal equilibrium is described by the Gibbs canonical ensemble. Building on these two…
