Finite bath fluctuation theorem.

چکیده
We demonstrate that a finite bath fluctuation theorem of the Crooks type holds for systems that have been thermalized via weakly coupling them to a bath with energy independent finite specific heat. We show that this theorem reduces to the known canonical and microcanonical fluctuation theorems in the two respective limiting cases of infinite and vanishing specific heat of the bath. The result is elucidated by applying it to a two-dimensional hard disk colliding elastically with few other hard disks in a rectangular box with perfectly reflecting walls.

Fluctuation relations for diffusion that is thermally driven by a nonstationary bath.
In the context of the Markovian dynamical evolution in a nonstationary thermal bath, we construct a family of fluctuation relations for the entropy production that are not verified by the work performed on the system. We exhibit fluctuation relations, which are global versions either of the generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem around a nonequilibrium diffusion or of the usual fluctuation...

متن کاملFluctuation of energy in the generalized thermostatistics
We calculate the fluctuation of the energy of a system in Tsallis statistics following the finite heat bath canonical ensemble approach. We obtain this fluctuation as the second derivative of the logarithm of the partition function plus an additional term. We also find an explicit expression for the relative fluctuation as related to the number of degrees of freedom of the bath and the composit...
متن کاملA Quantum Fluctuation Theorem
We consider a quantum system strongly driven by forces that are periodic in time. The theorem concerns the probability P (e) of observing a given energy change e after a number of cycles. If the system is thermostated by a (quantum) thermal bath, e is the total amount of energy transferred to the bath, while for an isolated system e is the increase in energy of the system itself. Then, we show ...
متن کاملFluctuation theorem for entropy production of a partial system in the weak coupling limit
Small systems in contact with a heat bath evolve by stochastic dynamics. Here we show that, when one such small system is weakly coupled to another one, it is possible to infer the presence of such weak coupling by observing the violation of the steady state fluctuation theorem for the partial entropy production of the observed system. We give a general mechanism due to which the violation of t...
