Abstract
We consider a Brownian particle in harmonic confinement of stiffness , in one dimension in the underdamped regime. The whole setup is immersed in a heat bath at temperature . The center of harmonic trap is dragged under any arbitrary protocol. The thermodynamic uncertainty relations for both position of the particle and current at time are obtained using the second law of thermodynamics as well as the positive semi-definite property of the correlation matrix of work and degrees of freedom of the system for both underdamped and overdamped cases.
