چکیده

Fluctuation relations are derived in systems where the spin degree of freedom and magnetic interactions play a crucial role. The form of the nonequilibrium fluctuation theorems relies on the assumption of a local balance condition. We demonstrate that in some cases the presence of magnetic interactions violates this condition. Nevertheless, fluctuation relations can be obtained from the microreversibility principle sustained only at equilibrium as a symmetry of the cumulant generating function for spin currents. We illustrate the spintronic fluctuation relations for a quantum dot coupled to partially polarized helical edge states.

Focus on nonequilibrium fluctuation relations: from classical to quantum

Thefluctuation dissipation theorem is at the heart of equilibrium statisticalmechanics. For a system away from thermal equilibrium, generalized nonequilibrium fluctuation relations have been found in recent years. Fluctuation relations reveal the fundamental connection between the response of a physical system to aweak externally applied force and the fluctuations in the systemwithout the exter...

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...

Fluctuation Relations for Diffusion Processes

The paper presents a unified approach to different fluctuation relations for classical nonequilibrium dynamics described by diffusion processes. Such relations compare the statistics of fluctuations of the entropy production or work in the original process to the similar statistics in the time-reversed process. The origin of a variety of fluctuation relations is traced to the use of different t...

Colloquium: Quantum fluctuation relations: Foundations and applications

Two fundamental ingredients play a decisive role in the foundation of fluctuation relations: the principle of microreversibility and the fact that thermal equilibrium is described by the Gibbs canonical ensemble. Building on these two pillars the reader is guided through a self-contained exposition of the theory and applications of quantum fluctuation relations. These are exact results that con...

On the Origin and the Use of Fluctuation Relations for the Entropy

Since about a decade various fluctuation relations for the entropy production have been derived and analyzed. These relations deal with symmetries of the entropy production under time-reversal and have been proposed as a non-perturbative generalization of fluctuation–dissipation relations. I describe a unifying framework for understanding these relations and I present an algorithm to derive the...
