چکیده

The work fluctuations of a harmonic oscillator in contact with a thermostat and driven out of equilibrium by an external force are studied experimentally. For the work both the transient and stationary state fluctuation theorems hold. The finite time corrections are very different from those of a first order Langevin equation. The heat and work fluctuations are studied when a periodic forcing is applied to the oscillator. The importance of the choice of the ”good work” to compute the free energy from the Jarzinsky equality is discussed. Résumé Etude expérimentale des fluctuations du travail dans un oscillateur harmonique. Nous étudions expérimentalement les fluctuations du travail d’une force externe sur un oscillateur harmonique en contact avec un bain thermique. Nous trouvons que les théorèmes de fluctuations pour les états transitoires et stationnaires sont vérifiés. Toutefois les corrections de temps fini pour l’état stationnaire sont très différentes de celles calculées dans le cadre de l’équation de Langevin du premier ordre. Nous étudions aussi le forçage périodique de l’oscillateur. Enfin nous discutons l’importance du choix du ”bon travail” pour calculer l’énergie libre en partant de l’égalité de Jarzinsky.

How the Nonextensivity Parameter Affects Energy Fluctuations

In this article, the effect of the nonextensivity parameter on the energy fluctuations of nonextensive systems is studied in two different versions of the Tsallis statistical mechanics. Once a general expression has been reported for the energy fluctuations in the second version (Tsallis work in 1988), the energy fluctuations of an ideal gas and a harmonic oscillator are studied in the second a...

Super algebra and Harmonic Oscillator in Anti de Sitter space

The harmonic oscillator in anti de Sitter space(AdS) is discussed. We consider the harmonic oscillator potential and then time independent Schrodinger equation in AdS space. Then we apply the supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics approach to solve our differential equation. In this paper we have solved Schrodinger equation for harmonic oscillator in AdS spacetime by supersymmetry approach. The shape...
