Nonequilibrium work distribution of a quantum harmonic oscillator

Open access
Deffner, Sebastian, Lutz, Eric·2008·Physical Review E

Abstract

We calculate analytically the work distribution of a quantum harmonic oscillator with arbitrary time-dependent angular frequency. We provide detailed expressions for the work probability density for adiabatic and nonadiabatic processes, in the limits of low and high temperature. We further verify the validity of the quantum Jarzynski equality.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The quantum speed limit time can also be increased when the energy of the system is decreased by the driving.

    “On the other hand, we note that the quantum speed limit time can also be increased when the energy of the system is decreased by the driving [41].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
