3 The famous Laws Equilibrium Principle -- minus first Law An isolated, macroscopic system which is placed in an arbitrary initial state within a finite fixed volume will attain a unique state of equilibrium. Second Law (Clausius) For a non-quasi-static process occurring in a thermally isolated system, the entropy change between two equilibrium states is non-negative. Second Law (Kelvin) No work can be extracted from a closed equilibrium system during a cyclic variation of a parameter by an external source.

4 MINUS FIRST LAW vs. SECOND LAW -1st Law 2nd Law

5 Second Law Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius ( ) Heat generally cannot spontaneously flow from a material at lower temperature to a material ilat higher h temperature. William Thomson alias Lord Kelvin ( ) No cyclic process exists whose sole effect is to extract heat from a single heat bath at temperature T and convert it entirely to work. δq = T ds (Zürich, 1865)

7 What are fluctuation and work theorems about? Small systems: fluctuations may become comparable to average quantities. Can one infer thermal equilibrium properties from fluctuations in nonequilibrium processes?

11 CLASSICAL WORK p z τ z 0 ϕ t,0 [z 0 ; λ] εz 0 W [z 0 ; λ] = H(z τ, λ τ ) H(z 0, λ 0 ) = ϕ τ t,0 [εz τ ; λ] εz τ q dt λ H(ϕ t,0 [z 0 ; λ], λ t ) t λ t p[w ; λ] = dz 0 ρ 0 (z 0 )δ[w H(z τ, λ τ ) + H(z 0, λ 0 )] Work is a RANDOM quantity

13 INCLUSIVE VS. EXCLUSIVE VIEWPOINT C. Jarzynski, C.R. Phys (2007) H(z, λ t ) = H 0 (z) λ t Q(z) W = dtq t λ t = H(z τ, λ τ ) H(z 0, λ 0 ) Not necessarily of the textbook form d(displ.) (force) W 0 = dtλ t Qt = H 0 (z τ ) H 0 (z 0 ) z t = {H(z t, λ t ); z} G.N. Bochkov and Yu. E. Kuzovlev JETP 45, 125 (1977)

14 Canonical initial state Exclusive Work: p[w 0 ; λ] p[ w 0 ; λ] = eβw 0 Bochkov-Kuzovlev-Crooks e βw 0 = 1 Bochkov-Kuzovlev G.N. Bochkov, Y.E. Kuzovlev, Sov. Phys. JETP 45, 125 (1977); G.N. Bochkov, Y.E. Kuzovlev, Physica A 106, 443 (1981)

15 INCLUSIVE, EXCLUSIVE and DISSIPATED WORK W diss = W F e βw diss = 1 W, W 0, W diss are DISTINCT stochastic quantities p[x; λ] p 0 [x; λ] p diss [x; λ] They coincide for cyclic protocols λ 0 = λ τ M.Campisi, P. Talkner and P. Hänggi, Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A 369, 291 (2011)

16 GAUGE FREEDOM H (z, t) = H(z, t) + g(t) W = W + g(τ) g(0) F = F + g(τ) g(0) W, F are gauge dependent: not true physical quantities WARNING: be consistent! use same gauge to calculate W and F e βw = e β F e βw = e β F The fluctuation theorem is gauge invariant! Gauge: irrelevant for dynamics crucial for ENERGY-HAMILTONIAN connection

17 GAUGE FREE vs. GAUGE DEPENDENT EXPRESSIONS OF CLASSICAL WORK H = H 0 (z) λ t Q(z) + g(t) Inclusive work: W = H (z τ, τ) H (z 0, 0), g-dependent W phys = dtq t λt, g-independent W phys = W g(τ) + g(0) Exclusive work: W 0 = H 0 (z τ, λ τ ) H 0 (z 0, λ 0 ) = dtλ t Q t, g-independent Dissipated work: W diss = H (z τ, τ) H (z 0, 0) F, g-independent

18 QUANTUM WORK FLUCTUATION RELATIONS H(z, λ t ) H(λ t ) ρ(z, λ t ) ϱ(λ t ) = e βh(λt) Z(λ t ) Z(λ t ) Z(λ t ) = Tre βh(λt) [ ϕ t,0 [z 0 ; λ] U t,0 [λ] = T exp i W [z 0 ; λ]? t 0 ] dsh(λ s )

20 WORK IS NOT AN OBSERVABLE P. Talkner et al. PRE (2007) Work characterizes PROCESSES, not states! (δw is not exact) Work cannot be represented by a Hermitean operator W W [z 0 ; λ] w = Em λτ E λ 0 n two-measurements E λt n =instantaneous eigenvalue: H(λ t ) ψ λt n = E λt n ψ λt n

23 Work is not an observable Note: G tf,t 0 (u) is a correlation function. If work was an observable, i.e. if a hermitean operator W existed then the characteristic function would be of the form of an expectation value G W (u) = e iuw = Tre iuw ρ(t 0 ) Hence, work is not an observable.

28 Measurements A projective measurement of an observable A = i a ip A i, P A i P A j = δ i,j P A i : ρ i P A i ρp A i while a force protocol is running leads to a change of the statistics of work but leaves unchanged the Crooks relation and the Jarzyninski equality.
