A rigorous derivation of nonequilibrium entropy production via the path-integral formalism is presented. Entropy production is defined as the entropy change piled in a heat reservoir as a result of a nonequilibrium thermodynamic process. It…
We consider stochastic energy balance and entropy production (EP) in a generalized Langevin dynamics of macrospins, allowing for both amplitude and direction fluctuations, under external magnetic field. EP is calculated using Fokker-Planck…
We consider a finite dimensional quantum system $S$ in an arbitrary initial state coupled to an infinitely extended quantum thermal reservoir $R$ in equilibrium at inverse temperature $\beta$. The coupling is given by a bounded perturbation…
We consider, for a diffusion process in R^n, the Gallavotti-Cohen functional, defined as the empirical power dissipated in a time interval by the non-conservative part of the drift. We prove a large deviation principle in the limit in which…
Given a finite-range, translation-invariant commuting system Hamiltonians on a spin chain, we show that the Davies semigroup describing the reduced dynamics resulting from the joint Hamiltonian evolution of a spin chain weakly coupled to a…
In this work, we study the stochastic entropy production in open quantum systems whose time evolution is described by a class of non-unital quantum maps. In particular, as in [Phys. Rev. E 92, 032129 (2015)], we consider Kraus operators…
We investigate the behaviour of a family of entropy production functionals associated to stochastic differential equations of the form $\mathrm{d} X_s = -\nabla V(X_s) \, \mathrm{d} s + b(X_s) \, \mathrm{d} s + \sqrt{2\epsilon} \,…

We analytically describe the decay to equilibrium of generic observables of a non-integrable system after a perturbation in the form of a random matrix. We further obtain an analytic form for the time-averaged fluctuations of an observable…
The positivity conditions of the relative entropy between two thermal equilibrium states $\hat{\rho}_1$ and $\hat{\rho}_2$ are used to obtain upper and lower bounds for the subtraction of their entropies, the Helmholtz potential and the…
Most natural systems operate far from equilibrium, displaying time-asymmetric, irreversible dynamics characterized by a positive entropy production while exchanging energy and matter with the environment. Although stochastic thermodynamics…
We develop a method using a coarse graining of the energy fluctuations of an equilibrium quantum system which produces simple parameterizations for the behaviour of the system. As an application, we use these methods to gain more…
Finite temperature density functional theory requires representations for the internal energy, entropy, and free energy as functionals of the local density field. A central formal difficulty for an orbital-free representation is…
Boltzmann-Sanov and Cramer-Chernoff's theorems provide large deviation probabilities, entropy, and rate functions for the spatial distribution of systems and the total internal energy of an ensemble respectively. By the method of Lagrange's…
This is a historical note. In 1993 we calculated space, time and temperature dependent correlation function in isotropic version of one dimensional XY spin chain. The correlation function decays exponentially with time and space separation.…
We provide here an explicit example of Khinchin's idea that the validity of equilibrium statistical mechanics in high dimensional systems does not depend on the details of the dynamics. This point of view is supported by extensive numerical…
We study full counting statistics for transferred heat and entropy production between multi-terminal systems in absence of a finite junction. The systems are modelled as collections of coupled harmonic oscillators which are kept at…

We illustrate recent results concerning the validity of the work fluctuation theorem in open quantum systems [M. Campisi, P. Talkner, and P. H\"{a}nggi, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 102}, 210401 (2009)], by applying them to a solvable model of an…
