The classical theory of Brownian motion rests on fundamental laws of statistical mechanics, such as the equipartition theorem and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, which are not applicable in non-isothermal situations. We derive the…

Out of equilibrium quantum systems, on top of quantum fluctuations, display complex temporal patterns. Such time fluctuations are generically exponentially small in the system volume and can be therefore safely ignored in most of the cases.…
