Hamiltonian derivation of a detailed fluctuation theorem

摘要

We analyze the microscopic evolution of a system undergoing a far-from-equilibrium thermodynamic process. Explicitly accounting for the degrees of freedom of participating heat reservoirs. we derive a hybrid result: similar in form to both the fluctuation theorem and a statement of detailed balance. We relate this result to the steady-state fluctuation theorem and to a ii-re energy relation valid far from equilibrium. [References: 38]
