Work Fluctuations in Slow Processes: Quantum Signatures and Optimal Control
Work Fluctuations in Slow Processes: Quantum Signatures and Optimal Control
An important result in classical stochastic thermodynamics is the work fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR), which states that the dissipated work done along a slow process is proportional to the resulting work fluctuations. We show that slowly driven quantum systems violate this FDR whenever quantum coherence is generated along the protocol, and …
