We consider a quantum system strongly driven by forces that are periodic in time. The theorem concerns the probability $P(e)$ of observing a given energy change $e$ after a number of cycles. If the system is thermostated by a (quantum) thermal bath, $e$ is the total amount of energy transferred to the bath, while for an isolated system $e$ is the increase in energy of the system itself. Then, we show that $P(e)/P(-e)=e^{\beta e}$, a parameter-free, model-independent relation.

  1. Non-Hermitian entropy production from fluctuation theorems

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Post-selected fluctuation theorems yield a nonnegative entropy production Σ=⟨ΔS⟩+Ξ for non-Hermitian evolution, equal to a Petz–Rényi gap and sensitive to exceptional points via its coherent part.

  2. 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.

  3. Fluctuations of path-dependent thermodynamic quantities in open quantum systems via two-point system-only measurements

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A system-only two-point measurement framework delivers exact fluctuation relations for work and heat in open quantum systems along with Jarzynski corrections, recovering prior results for closed systems and holding ex...

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Fluctuation theorems for autonomous work in the quantum regime

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

    Successive projective measurements yield quantum autonomous Jarzynski/Crooks theorems; inclusive work cannot reduce to the nonautonomous limit, but exclusive work can when the measured source observable is conserved.

  7. Work distribution and fluctuation theorem in AdS/CFT

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    The work distribution of a two-point measurement in a holographic CFT is expressed as a Schwinger-Keldysh bulk path integral, giving a bulk Tasaki-Crooks fluctuation theorem that is verified for a scalar probe on BTZ.

  8. Quantum thermodynamics of the Caldeira-Leggett model with non-equilibrium Gaussian reservoirs

    quant-ph 2024-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Develops a non-equilibrium Caldeira-Leggett model using squeezed and displaced Gaussian reservoirs to study work, heat statistics, and thermodynamic symmetries via modified Keldysh contour techniques.

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

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

  10. Information Processing in Quantum Thermodynamic Systems: an Autonomous Hamiltonian Approach

    quant-ph 2025-11 reject novelty 5.0

    Presents quantum generalizations of the second law, Landauer's bound, and speed limits for autonomous information processing, but the core Hamiltonian-structure derivation rests on an unproven equality.

  11. 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...
