We consider a locally interacting Fermi gas in its natural non-equilibrium steady state and prove the Quantum Central Limit Theorem (QCLT) for a large class of observables. A special case of our results concerns finitely many free Fermi gas reservoirs coupled by local interactions. The QCLT for flux observables, together with the Green-Kubo formulas and the Onsager reciprocity relations previously established [JOP4], complete the proof of the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem and the development of linear response theory for this class of models. Central limit theorem for locally interacting Fermi gas 2 1
We present a proof of the central limit theorem for a pair of mutually noncommuting operators in mixing quantum spin chains. The operators are not necessarily strictly local but quasi-local. As a corollary we obtain a direct construction of the time evolution of the algebra of normal fluctuation for Gibbs states of finite range interactions on a one-dimensional lattice. We show that the state of the algebra of normal fluctuation satisfies the β-KMS condition if the microscopic state is a β-KMS state. We show that any mixing finitely correlated state satisfies our assumption for the central limit theorem. KEY WORDS: central limit theorem; KMS states; quantum spin chain
