The fluctuation dissipation theorem~(FDT) is a hallmark of thermal equilibrium systems in the Gibbs state. We address the question whether the FDT is obeyed by isolated quantum systems in an energy eigenstate. In the framework of the…

We experimentally demonstrate that highly structured distributions of work emerge during even the simple task of erasing a single bit. These are signatures of a refined suite of time-reversal symmetries in distinct functional classes of…

Fluctuation theorems allow one to make generalised statements about the behaviour of thermodynamic quantities in systems that are driven far from thermal equilibrium. In this article we use Crooks' fluctuation theorem to understand the…

We derive an integral fluctuation theorem (FT) in a general setup of cavity quantum electrodynamics systems. In the derivation, a key difficulty lies in a diverging behavior of entropy change arising from the zero-temperature limit of an…

In this paper, we extend the fluctuation theorems used for quantum channels to multitime processes. The fluctuation theorems for quantum channels are less restrictive. We show that the given entropy production can be equal to the result of…
