Coherent fluctuation relations: from the abstract to the concrete
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-09, 16:04 authored by Zoe Holmes, Sebastian WeidtSebastian Weidt, David Jennings, Janet Anders, Florian MintertRecent studies using the quantum information theoretic approach to thermodynamics show that the presence of coherence in quantum systems generates corrections to classical fluctuation theorems. To explicate the physical origins and implications of such corrections, we here convert an abstract framework of an autonomous quantum Crooks relation into quantum Crooks equalities for well-known coherent, squeezed and cat states. We further provide a proposal for a concrete experimental scenario to test these equalities. Our scheme consists of the autonomous evolution of a trapped ion and uses a position dependent AC Stark shift.
