Employing a local formula for the electron-electron interaction energy, we derive a self-consistent approximation for the total energy of a general $N$-electron system. Our scheme works as a local variant of the Thomas-Fermi approximation…
When an isolated system is brought in contact with a heat bath its final energy is random and follows the Gibbs distribution -- a cornerstone of statistical physics. The system's energy can also be changed by performing non-adiabatic work…
In this work we study the correlation energy of the quantized electron gas of uniform density at temperature $T=0$. To do so we utilize methods from classical statistical mechanics. The basis for this is the Feynman path integral for the…
We present a general theory for the equilibrium current distribution in an interacting two-dimensional electron gas subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, and confined by a potential that varies slowly on the scale of the magnetic…
Poynting theorem plays a very important role in analyzing electromagnetic phenomena. The electromagnetic power flux density is usually expressed with the Poynting vector. However, since Poynting theorem basically focuses on the power…
Recently, the quantum counterpart of energy equipartition theorem has drawn considerable attention. Motivated by this, we formulate and investigate an analogous statement for the free energy of a quantum oscillator linearly coupled to a…
The standard approach to non-equilibrium thermodynamics describes transport in terms of generalised forces and coupled currents, a typical example being the Fourier law that relates temperature gradient to the heat flux. Here we demonstrate…
This chapter reviews an information theoretic approach to deriving quantum fluctuation theorems. When a thermal system is driven from equilibrium, random quantities of work are required or produced: the Crooks equality is a classical…
In this paper, using the viewpoint that quantum mechanics can be constructed as a classical field theory without any quantization I build a fully classical theory of thermal radiation. Planck's law for the spectral energy density of thermal…
We show that a general one-dimensional (1D) lattice with nonlinear inter-particle interactions can always be thermalized for arbitrarily small nonlinearity in the thermodynamic limit, thus proving equipartition hypothesis in statistical…
The virial theorem, and the equipartition theorem in the case of quadratic degrees of freedom, are handy constraints on the statistics of equilibrium systems. Their violation is instrumental in determining how far from equilibrium a driven…
Exchange energy statistics between two bodies at different thermal equilibrium obey the Jarzynski-W\'ojcik fluctuation theorem. The corresponding energy scale factor is the difference of the inverse temperatures associated to the bodies at…
We studied the thermodynamic quantities and the probability distribution, expressing the probability distribution as a function of the energy, in the canonical ensemble within the framework of the Tsallis statistics, which is characterized…
We constructed an analog circuit generating fluctuations of which a probability density function has power law tails. In the circuit fluctuations with an arbitrary exponent of the power law can be obtained by tuning the resistance. A theory…
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…
In this study the power flow in a coupled mechanical and electromagnetic harvesting system in presence of both positional and electrical fluctuations is analyzed. Explicit expressions for the power into and out of the mechanical and…
We consider a single particle spectrum as given by the eigenvalues of the Wigner-Dyson ensembles of random matrices, and fill consecutive single particle levels with n fermions. Assuming that the fermions are non-interacting, we show that…
Based on the observation that the thermodynamic equilibrium free energy of an open quantum system in contact with a thermal environment can be understood as the difference between the free energy of the total system and that of the bare…
In this paper, we analyze dissipative diamagnetism, arising due to dissipative cyclotron motion in two dimensions, in the light of the quantum counterpart of energy equipartition theorem. We consider a charged quantum particle moving in a…
We study experimentally and numerically the dynamics of colloidal beads confined by a harmonic potential in a bath of swimming E. coli bacteria. The resulting dynamics is well approximated by a Langevin equation for an overdamped oscillator…
