Quantum measurement of work in mesoscopic systems
read the original abstract
Heat and work in thermodynamics refer to the measurement of changes in energy content of external bodies (baths and agents). We discuss the implications of quantum mechanics on the possibility to measure work in a mesoscopic context. The agent is a quantum entity (say an oscillator) that is used to drive the system. An obvious limitation is related to back-reaction, leading to a classical-like restriction. We find that in order to resolve fingerprints of interference an additional quantum uncertainty limitation should be taken into account in the design of the agent. The quantum limitation is fundamental, and cannot be relaxed by super-resolution techniques.

Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work
Autonomous fluctuation theorems for work and entropy production hold when a system exchanges energy with a dynamical reversible work source, reducing to standard non-autonomous theorems as the source inertia goes to infinity.
