We derive quantum analogues of Jarzynski's relations, and discuss two applications, namely, a derivation of the law of entropy increase for general compound systems, and a preliminary analysis of heat transfer between two quantum systems at…
The Jarzynski Equality relates the free energy difference between two equilibrium states of a system to the average of the work over all irreversible paths to go from one state to the other. We claim that the derivation of this equality is…
The Jarzynski equality equates the mean of the exponential of the negative of the work (per fixed temperature) done by a changing Hamiltonian on a system, initially in thermal equilibrium at that temperature, to the ratio of the final to…
We study the quantum Jarzynski relation for driven quantum models embedded in various environments. We do so by generalizing a proof presented by Mukamel [Phys. Rev. Lett 90, 170604 (2003)] for closed quantum systems. In this way, we are…
Jarzynski equality [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 56}, 5018 (1997)] is found to be valid with slight modefication for the transitions between nonequilibrium stationary states, as well as the one between equilibrium states. Also numerical results…
The Jarzynski equality, which relates equilibrium free-energy difference to an average of non-equilibrium work, plays a central role in modern non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics. In this paper, we study a weaker consequence of this…
We combine the formalisms of diagonal entropy and Jarzynski Equality to study the thermodynamic properties of closed quantum systems. Applying this approach to a quantum harmonic oscillator, the diagonal entropy offers a notion of…
We have experimentally checked the Jarzynski equality and the Crooks relation on the thermal fluctuations of a macroscopic mechanical oscillator in contact with a heat reservoir. We found that, independently of the time scale and amplitude…

We consider a time-dependent quantum linear oscillator coupled to a bath at an arbitrary strength. We then introduce a generalized Jarzynski equality (GJE) which includes the terms reflecting the system-bath coupling. This enables us to…
We investigate the possibility of introducing the temperature to the one dimensional Sznajd model and propose a natural extension of the original model by including other types of interactions. We characterise different kinds of equilibria…
