Energy conservation, counting statistics, and return to equilibrium

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study the full counting statistics (FCS) of the energy transfers between a system S and an infinitely extended thermal reservoir R in the process of returning to equilibrium.

Full statistics of erasure processes: Isothermal adiabatic theory and a statistical Landauer principle

Abstract: We study driven finite quantum systems in contact with a thermal reservoir in the regime in which the system changes slowly in comparison to the equilibration time. The associated isothermal adiabatic theorem allows us to control the full statistics of energy transfers in quasi-static processes. Within this approach, we extend Landauer's Principle on the energetic cost of erasure processes to the level of the full statistics and elucidate the nature of the fluctuations breaking Landauer's bound.

The Spectral Structure of the Electronic Black Box Hamiltonian

TL;DR: In this article, the absence of singular continuous spectrum of the one-particle Hamiltonian underlying the electronic black-box model was shown to be a non-trivial property.

Entropic Functionals in Quantum Statistical Mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, a research program dealing with entropic fluctuations in non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics is described and an outline of the program is presented. But the program does not consider quantum entropics.

Ergodic Properties of the Langevin Equation

TL;DR: In this paper, the ergodic properties of the combined system particle + reservoir were investigated and it was shown that the dynamical system describing this model near thermal equilibrium is strongly mixing.
