Thermodynamic fluctuations and the fluctuation-imposed limit for temperature measurement
In experimental sciences, random processes often place a fundamental limit on the achievable resolution. A well known example is the Johnson noise voltage across a resistor. In this paper, we describe the observation of temperature fluctuations in a thermometer caused by the random transfer of heat in and out of it. This process places a fundamental limit on the resolution of a thermometer. We ...
متن کاملFluctuation relation for heat.
We present a fluctuation relation for heat dissipation in a nonequilibrium system. A nonequilibrium work is known to obey the fluctuation theorem in any time interval t. Heat, which differs from work by an energy change, is shown to satisfy a modified fluctuation relation. Modification is brought about by the correlation between heat and energy change during nonequilibrium processes whose effec...
متن کاملThermodynamic constraints on fluctuation phenomena.
The relationships among reversible Carnot cycles, the absence of perpetual motion machines, and the existence of a nondecreasing globally unique entropy function form the starting point of many textbook presentations of the foundations of thermodynamics. However, the thermal fluctuation phenomena associated with statistical mechanics has been argued to restrict the domain of validity of this ba...
متن کاملA Fluctuation-Dissipation Relation for Semiclassical Cosmology
Using the concept of open systems where the classical geometry is treated as the system and the quantum matter field as the environment, we derive a fluctuationdissipation theorem for semiclassical cosmology. This theorem which exists under very general conditions for dissipations in the dynamics of the system, and the noise and fluctuations in the environment, can be traced to the formal mathe...
متن کاملFluctuation relation for qubit calorimetry.
Motivated by proposed thermometry measurement on an open quantum system, we present a simple model of an externally driven qubit interacting with a finite-sized fermion environment acting as a calorimeter. The derived dynamics is governed by a stochastic Schrödinger equation coupled to the temperature change of the calorimeter. We prove a fluctuation relation and deduce from it a notion of entr...
