We derive quantum analogues of Jarzynski's relations, and discuss two applications, namely, a derivation of the law of entropy increase for general compound systems, and a preliminary analysis of heat transfer between two quantum systems at different temperatures. We believe that the derivation of the law of entropy increase is new and of importance.

  1. Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    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.

  2. Quantum advantage from negativity of a work quasiprobability distribution

    quant-ph 2025-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Negativity in the large-N limit of work quasiprobability distributions guarantees quantum advantage in charging quantum batteries.

  3. A quantum entropy production operator

    quant-ph 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Introduces a Hermitian entropy-production operator equal to Belavkin-Staszewski relative entropy that obeys exact fluctuation theorems for quantum forward-reverse pairs defined via Petz retrodiction.

  4. Minimally invasive measurement of work in coherent quantum systems

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    VOM measures the Heisenberg work operator to obtain positive work statistics that match unmeasured coherent energetics, yielding coherence-corrected fluctuation relations and superior engine/demon performance versus TPM.

  5. Fluctuation theorems for thermally isolated driven quantum systems: nonadiabaticity, excess work and strong inequalities

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    Detailed and integral fluctuation theorems for X and Y identify their averages with nonadiabaticity A and excess work W_ex, implying W_th_ex ≥ 0 and relating A to cyclic work absorption.

  6. Quantum Coherence and Anomalous Work Extraction in Qubit Gate Dynamics

    quant-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Coherence enables anomalous work extraction in qubit gate dynamics via negative Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities, with a compositional relation connecting circuit-level work statistics to individual gates.

  7. Optimal Control to Minimize Dissipation and Fluctuations in Open Quantum Systems Beyond Slow and Rapid Regimes

    quant-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical optimization uncovers discontinuous switching and multi-step optimal protocols for minimizing dissipation and fluctuations in open quantum systems beyond slow and rapid regimes.

  8. Work Statistics via Real-Time Effective Field Theory: Application to Work Extraction from Thermal Bath with Qubit Coupling

    quant-ph 2025-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Real-time EFT expresses work distribution functions for a driven thermal bath plus qubit in terms of the quasiparticle spectral function, yielding second-order results that favor spin/topological qubits for work extraction.

  9. Temperature fluctuations in mesoscopic systems

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2023-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Temperature fluctuations modeled by a new stochastic differential equation produce N^{-1} corrections to the Jarzynski equality and prevent mesoscopic Carnot engines from reaching ideal efficiency even in the quasi-st...
