On the Crooks fluctuation theorem and the Jarzynski equality.
The Jarzynski equality (JE) and the undergirding Crooks fluctuation theorem (CFT) have generated intense interest recently among researchers in physical and biological sciences. It has been held that the CFT has wider applicability than the JE. This note shows that the two are equally applicable and that their applicability is possibly limited to near-equilibrium processes, where the linear flu...
متن کاملJarzynski equality, Crooks fluctuation theorem, and the fluctuation theorems of heat for arbitrary initial states.
By taking full advantage of the dynamic property imposed by the detailed balance condition, we derive a new refined unified fluctuation theorem (FT) for general stochastic thermodynamic systems. This FT involves the joint probability distribution functions of the final phase-space point and a thermodynamic variable. Jarzynski equality, Crooks fluctuation theorem, and the FTs of heat as well as ...
متن کاملThe Tasaki-Crooks quantum fluctuation theorem
Starting out from the recently established quantum correlation function expression of the characteristic function for the work performed by a force protocol on the system [cond-mat/0703213] the quantum version of the Crooks fluctuation theorem is shown to emerge almost immediately by the mere application of an inverse Fourier transformation. PACS numbers: 05.40.-a, 87.16.-b, 87.19.Nn Submitted ...
متن کاملKinesin and the Crooks fluctuation theorem
The thermal efficiency of the kinesin cycle at stalling is presently a matter of some debate, with published predictions ranging from 0 (A. W. C. Lau, D. Lacoste and K. Mallick, Phys. Rev.

متن کاملQuantum annealing with Jarzynski equality
We show a practical application of an well-known nonequilibrium relation, the Jarzynski equality, in quantum computation. Its implementation may open a way to solve combinatorial optimization problems, minimization of a real single-valued function, cost function, with many arguments. It has been disclosed that the ordinary quantum computational algorithm to solve a kind of hard optimization pro...
